This week, Dustin welcomes a special guest host, Lauren Toyota from hot for food. Together, they dive into Vegan Japan—a stunning new cookbook featuring 70 irresistible plant-based recipes.

Warming soups and slurp-able noodles. Refreshing vegetable sides. Indulgent street foods. Adorable bite-size desserts.

Japanese French chef Julia Boucachard grew up devouring all of the above. When she went vegan, she was determined not to give up any of her childhood favorites. In Vegan Japan, she shows that cooking nourishing, flavor-packed plant-based Japanese food doesn’t have to be complicated.

With an emphasis on seasonality, balanced flavors, and simple techniques, this is her plant-based celebration of Japanese cuisine and the myriad vegetables that make their way onto the Japanese plate.

With beautiful photography and charming illustrations throughout, Vegan Japan is your one-stop ticket to authentic plant-based Japanese home cooking.
