A group of vegan taco scientists in Austin, Texas, know just how you feel, and now reveal their one-of-a-kind cleansing journey that anybody can follow and stick to-.-the Taco Cleanse. While the typical cleanse works by depriving you of your favourite foods, the plant-based Taco Cleanse rewards your body with what it naturally craves: tortillas, refried beans, guacamole! Begin 'with a breakfast taco, the most important taco of the day. Even if you do nothing else, your mood will brighten in just 24 hours. Keep eating tacos and within a week your outlook will be noticeably improved. After 30 days, cleansers report lasting benefits-and you will, too! The Taco Cleanse shows you: How to make everything from the tortilla-flour, corn, and waffle (!)-to the thirst-quenching "Supplements" (margaritas and other beverages) that best complement your tacos. What to put in the tortilla-beer-battered portobellos, mac and cheese, even tater tots. How to remake popular staples like picadillo, tacos al pastor, carne guisada, and fish tacos using plants instead of, well, animals. The Taco Cleanse is cheap, easy, and delicious. Its recipes are authentically Austin, and are sometimes even inspired by Mexico, where the taco was first created. Everything tastes better folded (exactly once) into a tortilla. Just eat one or more tacos at every meal, adding margaritas as necessary. It is that simple.

Book SynopsisA collection of raw food recipes by the head chefs of Pure Food and Wine draws on the authors' experiences at their popular New York restaurant to present practical advice on how to prepare appetizing raw food dishes using such techniques as dehydrating, Vita-Mix blending, and spicing. 30,000 first printing.Trade Review“A book worth taking a look at, especially if you can’t take the heat in your kitchen anymore.” — Daily News Praise for Kenney and Melngailis, Pure Food and Wine Restaurant “Fashionable cuisine…Pure is more about uplifting discoveries than culinary I-dare-yous… At a place you’d assume might be all about denial, it’s one awfully sweet reward.” — New York magazine “Manhattan’s hot new restaurant…Raw food is going glam at Pure Food and Wine.” — New York Post “Whether or not you’re counting calories, your body will appreciate the innovative, health-driven summer menu at…Pure Food and Wine.” — Time Out New York “Our quartet of gourmands is beguiled by tomato tartare, the spicy Thai lettuce wraps, and a pineapple-cucumber gazpacho…After zebra-tomato lasagne, hummus-slathered flatbread pizza topped with a savory salad, “creamy” golden-squash pasta with summer truffles, and dessert, I cancel plans to stop for a burger on the way home.” — New York magazine “With its burnt-orange walls, low lighting, and intimate bar, Pure Food and Wine is both urbane and seductive. The colorful food is equally stylish—the fact that all of it is prepared according to strict raw-food principles…seems almost beside the point to the diners who fill the narrow restaurant and its verdant garden every night.” — Organic Style “Matthew and Sarma are five-star masters of organic cuisine. I am continually impressed by the taste sensations and culinary skills they bring to their restaurant, and now to the pages of this book! It’s filled to the brim with recipes, ideas, and strategies to make your kitchen jump to life. This is the best food ever!” — David Wolfe, author of Eating for Beauty and Naked Chocolate
