Before Hollywood goddesses like Gwyneth and Beyoncé; before Deliciously
Ella and Vegan Before Six, there was Mrs Richter, the trailblazing
nutritional guru who opened the world's first ever raw, vegan
restaurant. Having opened its doors in 1917, the Eutropheon served up a
delicious array of soups, pies and confections, enticing diners to the
table throughout the 1920s. Drawing upon a wholesome array of purely
plant-based ingredients, Vera Richter's recipes rely upon choppers,
mixers and the glorious LA sunshine (required to dry out her homemade
pies), but never the oven or the hob. One hundred percent raw, the
vitamin content of her dishes was never compromised by conventional
baking or frying methods.
From cow-less ice-cream to egg-less mayonnaise, gluten-free tamales to
homemade almond milk, Vintage Vegan collects over 100 of her most
mouth-watering recipes for you to recreate at home. So, prepare to step
away from the oven and back in time. Guaranteed to make you glow from
the inside out - while shedding a few pounds in the process - Vintage
Vegan provides a tantalizing taste of the Roaring Twenties that's sure
to leave you hungry for more.
