Full of traditional, crowd-pleasing recipes, veganized and packed full of flavor, The Buddhist Chef's Homestyle Cooking is a warm-hearted, comforting collection of recipes. The recipes are inspired by the two universal themes at the heart of every great meal--flavor and enjoying it with those you love--and are brought together with a dash of The Buddhist Chef's signature sense of humor.

As with The Buddhist Chef's previous books--The Buddhist Chef and The Buddhist Chef's Vegan Comfort Cooking--this is a book you will turn to again and again for reliable recipes that always wow with taste and texture and show just how simple putting together a great meal can be. The Buddhist Chef's Homestyle Cooking includes recipes for:

• Comforting favorites for gathering around the table: Vegan Tuscan Soup, Macaroni Salad with Jalapeño-Marinated Tofu, Vegan Fried Chicken, Shawarma Tofu Wraps, and Ratatouille Lasagna with Almond Ricotta.

• A whole new world of vegan snacking: Veggie Pâté, Zucchini Fritters with Tzatziki, Buffalo Cauliflower, and Bruschetta Portobellos.
• The joy of vegan baking: Chocolate Mug Cake, Flaky Apple Tart, or a Trio of Vegan Cupcakes.
