I’ve been eating vegan for more than thirty years. To me, plant-based just seems like the right way to eat—for a healthy body and a healthy planet. When I’m working, I eat super clean. I go almost fully raw. It makes my mind sharper, helps me focus, and no after-lunch slow down.
This is the kind of food that Chad Sarno made for me all the time when I was preparing for movie roles. Chad was my personal chef for a bunch of films. I’ve tasted Chad’s food day in and day out, in different seasons, at home, on movie sets, and around the world. It’s all freakin’ delicious. Over the years, I’ve also gotten to know Chad’s brother, Derek, and together in the kitchen, these two guys are the Dream Team!
Chad and Derek are doing some incredible work. They are at the forefront of a plant-based food movement that’s been building for decades and is now becoming a tsunami. Even if you know nothing about cooking, these guys will teach you how to make your meals taste amazing. Like their chapter title says, healthy food doesn’t have to taste like shit. And they show you how to have fun in the kitchen! But the best thing? The recipes are not just for committed vegans. This food is for everybody. It is just good, sexy food anyone would love.
This whole book is basically the blueprint for treating yourself right, enjoying everything you eat, and having a positive impact on the world around you. Now there are no more excuses. Go ahead and indulge in the absolute best-tasting and most life-affirming food on the planet.
