Where the hell would I even get half of these ingredients?

Mine had a different cover and was the reason I checked it out. There are some recipes I hope to try, but many of these were a bit too involved for my level of need. Example- a really good-looking recipe seemed straightforward, but involved using a "cheese" sauce that required overnight cashew soaking, and a homemade gravy that also required overnight cashew soaking. Basically, looks great but involves more work than I generally want to commit to a meal. There is a kimchi mayo that looks easy and kind of amazing, though, so we'll see what happens there.

If I had personal chefs and was rich af I would eat like this too. High end vegan is too much for this pleb.

Everything in this book looks badass and delicious. The few recipes I've tried have been easy to follow and deliver maximum flavor. Minus one star because recipes include garnish ingredients and I never have time to read the instructions before I head to the store.

Aside from the cover, which gives me the creeps, this is a beautiful cookbook. The format is great and there are so many creative ideas my head is spinning. This is a cookbook for the confident cook with access to speciality ingredients. I wish they had used more testers. I made the hot chocolate lentil and grilled asparagus tacos. It calls for black lentils which I love. The recipe calls for very little liquid and a short cooking time. The lentils need almost twice the amount of time they recommend and about double the liquid that said, the dish with a little tinkering was delicious. The brownies had the same issue, they needed more almond milk or water, and again the finished product was good with some adjustment. The other issue is the ingredients. I live in Eugene OR so I didn't have trouble finding what I needed, but many of the ingredients were expensive. This is a great idea book for special occasions. I'm sure I'll have fun with the filled pasta and the drinks look great too.
