Vegan World Fusion Cuisine: Healing Recipes & Timeless Wisdom

VEGAN WORLD FUSION CUISINE
Healing Recipes & Timeless Wisdom from Our Hearts to Yours

By Mark Reinfeld and Bo Rinaldi

Globally harmonious answers for healthier, better cooking!

"Food is art. Food is healing. Food is the body's medicine," says Bo Rinaldi, natural food chef and co-author of VEGAN WORLD FUSION CUISINE. Making conscious and healthful food choices for our bodies means making healthful choices for our planet, stresses Rinaldi. Driven by this principle, the chefs at the Blossoming Lotus restaurant in Hawaii have compiled a cookbook designed to educate all of us in a philosophy and lifestyle geared toward changing not only our own health, but that of our environment and our global community.

VEGAN WORLD FUSION CUISINE (Thousand Petals Publishing; November 2004; $24.95/Hardcover) written by Mark Reinfeld and Bo Rinaldi, with a foreword by Dr. Jane Goodall, offers readers a host of rich, delicious recipes using all-natural, organic plant-based ingredients. The recipes, clear instructions, and inspirational commentary in this book support a mindful way of living, honoring the cuisine, art, and cultures of the world. The recipes range from wonderful starters to mouth-watering desserts, with everything in between including drinks, smoothies, and condiments. A taste of what you'll find includes:

0 Radical Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
0 The Good Shepherd's Pie
0 Presto Manifesto Lasagna
0 Picasso's Paella
0 "Charlie's Relief" Tuna-free Tempeh Salad

So much more than just a cookbook, VEGAN WORLD FUSION CUISINE is a guide to living harmoniously not only with nature and the environment, but with animal life and the people around us. Every page is filled with beautiful four-color photographs collected from around the globe. The book also is sprinkled with thought-provoking quotes and proverbs from people as diverse as Anne Frank and the Dalai Lama. In her foreword, Dr. Goodall promises: "There is much here that will encourage you and help you discover the sense of well-being, wholeness, and lightness that results from a vegetarian diet."

VEGAN WORLD FUSION CUISINE is the perfect answer for those who feel that now is the time to begin living more healthfully and harmoniously with ourselves and our planet.

"Vegan World Fusion Cuisine ... serves as a manual for sustainable, non-violent living, painting a picture of a world without boundaries, where all cultures are celebrated and all people are treated with respect and caring."
-- Dr. Jane Goodall, 2004
