THE VEGAN BUTCHER

plant based meat by Zacchary Bird

Before writing cookbooks, my main gig was designing commercial plant based meat products. Holiday roasts, sausages, kievs, filets, pieces, patties and more! So when it came time to write my second cookbook, becoming The Vegan Butcher was inevitable. In the chapters of my award-winning, best-selling ultimate guide to plant based meat you’ll find just about every meat substitute around mocking all the non-vegan meaty classics normally knocked off the menu for the vegans. Find the cookbook by ordering online or checking at your local cookbook retailer, or order it directly from me to get it signed.

now available in Dutch, French & German editions

Explore chapters like Basics to learn how to wash seitan, make tofu/bean curd or smoke homemade protein. In Not So Poultry you’ll find Nashville Fried Tofu, Duck Fried Rice and Caesar Salad or dive into Red Herring for smoked caviar, dragon rolls and mushroom paella! In Saving Someone’s Bacon chapter you’ll discover watermelon katsudon, pulled pork tacquitos and even pork belly then Charcuterie’s salami, mortadella and proscuitto. Where’s The Beef? is exactly where recipes for vegan guinness pie, bbq brisket and a giant spaghetti stuffed meatball live. The 135+ recipes are rounded out in the Burgers & Sandwiches chapter that’ll feed your soul with greasy classics like filet-no-fish burgers, an italian deli style muffuletta or for the daring, the fabled ribwich.
