Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In Fake Meat , bestselling author Isa Chandra Moskowitz shows you how to create your own vegan meats, like deli slices and ground beef, that will satisfy every craving.



"I'm an animal lover and that love doesn't end when I get hungry. Do I miss meat? Not really. But here's what I do miss: Aromas. Experiences. Methods. Traditions.



"I remember all the tastes and sensations from my omnivore days, even though they were so long ago. My grandmother's meatballs, burnt on one side. Slurpy seafood pasta at a café along the bay, my teeth scraping against the hard oyster shells. My favorite pizza burger from a diner underneath a Midtown office building, the feel of the vinyl seat as I bounced with excitement at the sight of the melty mozz arriving at the table.



"These are the moments you could say I miss. Maybe you do, too. But we don't have to."
