Vegan Chefs
What do you eat, grass? The irritating questions vegans still get can best be defused by offering the skeptic a tasty plant-based dish. Vegan chefs are heroes because every dish they whip up is a delicious ultimatum, challenging the carnist majority to rethink false assumptions about food. Where do you get your protein? That tired parry can be flicked away with a mouthwatering vegan bourguignon in which tofu or mushrooms take the place of a dead cow. You get the idea. So, who are the vegan chefs on the front lines, the ones who get people to ask: really, this amazing dish has no meat, dairy, or eggs? There are hundreds of thousands of them. Let’s get to know some.
