We're in the process of relocating the restaurant office to make room for the new facility. All the dishes in the book are very versatile. I don't necessarily think that it's my duty to inform people about the health benefits of vegetarian cooking or vegetables in general, though. Vegetarian cooking does not rely on any animal products. Vegetable cuisine stars vegetables and vegetable flavors, but I don't necessarily refrain from using meat, or butter or other animal products as flavoring elements.
Vegetables are the star focus, however.
Your innovative vegetable tasting menu and this new book reflect that you obviously have a lot of passion for vegetables. I've always loved food, I've always loved to eat, and I've always loved vegetables. I was never a kid who had to be forced to eat my spinach or my green beans. I've never gone totally vegetarian, however, although I kind of dabbled with the idea one year in college. I think I lasted maybe a month.
