Demonstrates how to make vegan meats at home in a collection of one hundred twenty-five recipes sure to satisfy every kind of meat craving, from fried chicken to pepperjack cheese steaks.

Why fake meat? Aromas, experiences, traditions...many former carnivores who have embraced the vegan life miss elements related to sensations and socializations. Mock-meats have been around for centuries -- recipes for fake lamb appear in a Chinese cookbook from 900 CE -- but todays' meat substitutes capture flavors and textures that early efforts missed. Moskowitz shares recipes that will satisfy every kind of meat craving. Some recreate the inspiration; others merely invoke them -- any one of them may satisfy your need.--Adapted from back cover and introduction.
