Editorial Reviews

Sher and Doherty were the owners of Down to Earth, a vegan restaurant in Red Bank, NJ, for seven years, and this book was originally published as The Down to Earth Cookbook. It includes the most popular recipes they served at the restaurant, along with other favorites, ranging from Mediterranean Lentil Soup to Thai Coconut Tempeh Stix. There are separate chapters on raw foods and on food for babies and kids, as well as a useful guide to the vegan pantry. For subject collections that don't own the original edition (or that need to replace it).
