Two Dollar Radio Guide to Vegan Cooking: The Pink Edition
(2022) is two things at once: a practical guide to vegan cheffing, and a playful epic of the stories behind the recipes.
In this Pink Edition of the celebrated
Guide to Vegan Cooking
series, the saga continues as executive chefs Jean-Claude van Randy and Speed Dog (with assists from Eric Obenauf) share comfort food recipes with an international flourish, such as Bunny Chow—a blasphemous bread bowl favored by South African surfers; Chilaquiles—a Mexican breakfast dish, and finally something the
rockeros
and the
metaleros
can agree on; and a Banana Peel Banh Mi—a riff on the classic Vietnamese sandwich using—you guessed it, banana peels! Rest assured, Chef Randy’s Sheboygan roots run deep, as there is a dedicated section on vegan “Cheezes,” as well as debaucherous Midwestern staples like Pimento Cheeze, French Toast Sandwiches, and Pizza. Vegan Hunger Demons do not sleep. Thankfully Randy and Speed Dog are laced up and ready for battle.
