FOREWORD

Living vegan makes me appreciate food so much. Good food will leave me talking for days about it, sending photographs to everyone I know, bragging about the latest adventure. I always dream big as to what is possible, what will make the taste buds tingle, and what will leave the tummy full of fuzzies… Joni never ceases to dream even bigger with her concoctions, leaving me wide-eyed, amazed, and smiling devilishly. There are things in this cookbook that seem so wild and out there-but end up making perfect sense, and of course, the perfect burger.

It is everything adventurous and it is always extraordinary.

I cherish knowing Joni and her dedication to cooking compassionately, responsibly, and creatively. To be a recipient of her work and her heart leaves me feeling like the luckiest of bears.
