Book Overview Eat What Elephants Eat is a vegan cookbook featuring an unforgettable personal narrative, eighty recipes, and easy meal plans.Dominick (D...
Dominick (Dom) Thompson comes from the West Side of Chicago, where he was lured into the drug trade, as much for comradeship as for power and money. One summer, he agreed to a last hustle. It was a sting, and Dom went to federal prison.
It was there in his darkest hour that he had the revelation that brings us Eat What Elephants Eat--to heal his body and soul, he vowed never again to harm another sentient being. Like the peaceful, intelligent African giants, he would start by eating only plants, too. The diet made Dom strong again in every way. And it can do the same for anyone who eats a diet of only plants.
At the heart of Eat What Elephants Eat are eighty simple vegan recipes and meal plans for a vegan lifestyle that anyone can follow. Dom answers questions all vegan-curious people ask: How do I stay focused? What are the health benefits? Is it expensive? (No!) What about protein? (Yes! Lots!)
Recipes in Eat What Elephants Eat include:
- Breakfast: Saturday Morning Nostalgia Pancakes, The "Duluth" Omelet, Really Good Tofu Scramble
- Soups and Bowls: Watermelon Gazpacho, Mushroom Ramen Bowl, Buffalo Cauliflower "Chicken"
- Small Plates, Sandwiches, and Burgers: Sweet Corn n' Jalapeno Fritters, Mega Tofu BLT, Lentil Sloppy Joes
- Mains: Spaghetti n' Beet Balls, Jackfruit Tacos with Mango-Corn Salsa and Avocado "Cream"
- Dessert: Lemon Loaf with Lemon Icing, Brownies in a "Jiffy", Roasted Stone Fruit with Cashew Cream
Kind and practical, Dom connects the dots among the social and environmental perils of the industrial food system and our health. With humor and understanding, he delivers a no-fuss plan that guides anyone to embrace veganism.
