About the book

The Vegetarian Butcher is one of the world’s leading plant-based meat brands. Its exciting range of vegetarian meat brings together tradition and innovation, creating the delicious taste and juicy texture of butcher’s classics to make plant-based meat the new standard.

With New Meat – a plant-based ode to 100 classic meat dishes, The Vegetarian Butcher wants to celebrate the diversity that plant-based meat can offer, because there is more that brings us together than what sets us apart. At The Vegetarian Butcher, vegans, vegetarians, and carnivores are all invited to the same table. New Meat is made for meat-loving revolutionaries, who are open-minded enough to change the world one dish at a time. Central in this book are five products: vegan Chicken Chunks, the vegan Raw Burger, vegetarian Meatballs, vegan Chicken Breast, and the vegan Crispy Chicken Burger of The Vegetarian Butcher. Recipes in this cookbook are to die for – yet no sacrifices are involved!

New Meat provides the reader with inspiration, tips and tricks for making traditional feel-good dishes with plant-based ingredients, so you’ll still be able to serve up the foods you love, including family favourites. Vegan Wellington, vegan Bourguignon or vegan Indian Butter Chicken are just some examples of what you’ll find in New Meat. All of them showcasing the best of plant-based, sacrificing nothing in terms of taste, texture and traditions.

For this book, The Vegetarian Butcher spoke with eleven top chefs and front runners to hear their thoughts on a plant-based future. You’ll be inspired to bring the chefs’ experience to your own cooking.
