Gaz Oakley is passionate about vegan cooking. He became a chef in Cardiff, UK, at the age of 15. Inspired to follow a healthier lifestyle, he decided to change his diet and go vegan. Using the techniques he had learned working as a professional chef, he started devising beautiful, innovative vegan dishes. His Instagram and youtube channel @avantgardevegan has been phenomenally successful. His first book Vegan 100 was an instant hit worldwide; this is his second book.

There's substance behind the hype: his recipes taste wonderful and (applause) he has a way of creating a sauce that tastes properly cheesy, yet without a whisper of dairy in sight. These dishes from his new book are fit for any celebratory, all-the-trimmings spread - whether you're vegan or not... * Delicious magazine *
