THE HERETIC'S GUIDE
TO VEGAN COOKERY
Bored of the same old vegan cookbooks? Want some laughs with your ethically sound chocolate cake? Look no further. This is what happened when a Somerset-based cook/satirist turned his limited attention span to the job of writing a cookbook.
(And if you’re not vegan, don’t worry. The Heretic’s Guide to Vegan Cookery has been written with you in mind too. All are welcome, vegetarians, omnivores and carnivores, so there'll be no meat-free tub-thumping to sit through, just decent recipes.
Discover...
- The tricks and techniques needed to produce great vegan food without compromising quality, taste or your secret vegan identity.
- How to avoid the mistakes often made when approaching vegan cooking for the first time, like approaching too quickly and scaring it, or only putting a little bit of cheese in- that's ok isn't it?
- How to finally replace those insuinuations of blandness and tastelessness with a full blown accusation that you're a big fat liar and there's no way on earth something this good could be vegan.
- How to cook vegan while camping, with hints and information on fire-making, cooking, foraging and identification of common edible wild food. If you're camping out waiting for the deal of a lifetime in the January sales, then this chapter won't help. Sorry...
Casually chatting and teasing his way through the recipes, Andy explains how to cook some of the coolest vegan food you’ll find anywhere. From millionaire’s shortbread and a gluten-free macaroon slice, to how to make the best falafels, chips and frijoles ever, you’ll learn the secrets of cooking vegan food so good that you’ll never have to look righteous, a bit of an arse or whole-foody again.*
All the recipes have been rigorously taste-tested on the rampantly meat-obsessed before being approved for general use by the meat-free diner.
And then there’s the bits in between...
Although featuring more than ninety recipes, The Heretic’s Guide to Vegan Cookery is much more than just a cookbook. It’s also a series of joyously irreverent food-inspired wanderings through the beautiful Somerset town of Glastonbury and the macrocosmic microcosm of New Age reality that flourishes there. This satirical journey into truth has been informed throughout by the author’s anonymous contacts in the fairy underworld and a renegade Ascended Master known as Fingers.
- Gasp when Reiki takes a walk on the dark side.
- Feel the righteous spiritual glow of revelation when the Almighty Jehovah insists that the entirety of His newly created world should be vegan.
- Marvel as Homeopathy makes an infinitesimal contribution to international cuisine.
- Thrill as wild Druids are attracted to suburban gardens.
- Let your eyes light up with greed as you find out how to breed gurus for profit.
All this and more for a mere £12.99. It’s a bargain. Buy before 2012 and avoid the rush to ascension.

About the author
Andy Murray has cooked professionally for the last seven years. A Yorkshireman by birth, although a baby and child for much of that time, he now lives in Somerset in the West of England, where it's supposed to be warmer.
He has never been affiliated or associated with, or indeed linked in any way to tennis, and any inference by individuals to said fact will be refuted in the strongest possible terms, usually with repeated sighing and upward eye-rolling until they desist.
