Vegan Chef Lillian Cumic Hits the Runway at International Fashion Week

HAWAI’I WASHOKU unites one of the world’s great cuisines with the spirit of Aloha to create harmony and peace at your table. Through a superbly photographed collection of over 120 plant-based and gluten-free Japanese recipes, vegan chef Lillian Cumic’s third cookbook is the ultimate chaperone for reimagining Japanese recipes into deliciously “planted” successes. 

Can you imagine how excited I was to be on the cover of MidWeek this Dec 16?! What an honor! I'd be lying if I didn't tell you it has been a dream of mine to be the first vegan featured on the cover of a mainstream publication.

I'm so excited to tell you about my new cookbook, Tasting Hawai‘i Vegan Style. Over 120 plant-based and gluten-free recipes written and photographed by Lillian Cumic.

Hawai‘i A Vegan Paradise shatters the notion that vegan food is boring. Come with me as I  explore the Islands’ local cuisine and runs it through a plant-based lens, veganizing favorites found on the Islands and popular dishes that will remind you of beautiful Hawaii. Let me gently guides you through the ins and outs of a plant-based diet and answers all your questions about veganism and the basics needed to delve into the delicious world of vegan food. A visually stunning and informative book perfect for any home cook, trained professional or novice chef.
