This book offers elegant, easy-to-make plant-based takes on international and Asian-inspired dishes like Smoky Maple Tempeh Bacon, Green Garden Soba Noodle Salad, Taiwanese Five Spice Brussel Sprouts, and Spicy Peanut Ramen. When author Remy Morimoto struggled with an eating disorder and addiction, she embraced a vegan and gluten-free lifestyle. However, her rejection of meat and frustration finding vegan meals at Asian restaurants strained her connections with family and her heritage. Inspired by her old comfort foods, Remy strengthened her relationship with food, crucial for her recovery from addiction and disordered eating. She explored traditional vegan diets in her cultures, such as Korean temple food, Japanese Buddhist cuisine, and Taiwanese faux meats, finding compassion in veganism to be a pillar in her recovery.
