Secrets of the Ultimate Vegan Cookbook

NPR's Liane Hanson interviews chefs Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero, author's of the new Ultimate Vegan Cookbook and hosts of a public access cooking show in New York City.

Unlike some vegans they like to cook and eat things that taste good and also have a refreshing sense of humor about the whole thing.

In the interview Liane Hanson, asks them why they think so much vegan food tastes bad and they say that most people choose to cook vegan food prior to getting any kind of culinary training, and consequently we end up with bad food since the people preparing it don't understand the basic techniques of cooking and baking.
