Turn your kitchen into an upscale restaurant.

Only after spending some time with a new book of mouthwatering recipes did we notice something was missing from it...meat!

Candle 79, New York's beloved vegan dining spot, just released its own cookbook, Candle 79 Cookbook: Modern Vegan Classics from New York's Premier Sustainable Restaurant. Now you can whip up the deliciously satisfying and high-flavor meals that made the restaurant famous! (Trust us, the dishes appeal to vegans and omnivores alike.)

The vegan cooking trifecta responsible for the book's 100+ recipes includes Joy Pierson, Nutritional Consultant and Co-Owner of Candle Café and Candle 79; Angel Ramos, Executive Chef at Candle 79 and Jorge Pineda, Pastry Chef and Restaurant Manager.

To keep warm (and full), try the cookbook's recipe for butternut squash-chestnut soup with caramelized pears.

We're bowled over.
