Glam Chowder From NYC Vegan Cookbook

By

vegan cookbook, NYC Vegan

I’m super excited for the launch of the new cookbook NYC Vegan! It’s a beautiful book that is written by my friends Michael Suchman and Ethan Ciment, who are not only all-around great people, but their excitement for vegan food and the iconic recipes from the diners and delis of New York really shines through! You can check out their website Vegan Mos too.

The book goes well beyond delis and diners too, and includes favorites from Little Italy and Chinatown, street food and festivals, Old New York (Manhattan Glam Chowder, Waldorf salad and pizza) bakeries (knishes, cinnamon rolls and black-and-white cookies), Jewish specialties (like mandelbroit, cheesecake and blintzes), and true neighborhood fair, from pierogis and lasagna to arroz con maiz, mofongo and avgolemono soup. 

Although the book is not gluten-free, there are a fair amount of recipes that naturally don’t contain gluten. They also offer a few gluten-free subs, and there are some easy work-arounds for some of the gluten-full recipes too. And lucky for you that the Manhattan Glam Chowder recipe is gluten-free, and they are letting me share the recipe  here! I’m so excited to cook my way through this book, and pretend that I’m strolling the streets of New York with a knish in my hand.

Michael and Ethan and their publisher Vegan Heritage Press are also letting me do a giveaway (U.S. addresses only please), so don’t forget to enter below by leaving a blog post comment (and a way to reach you should you win). Good luck!
