Chrissie Hynde’s gotten a lot of publicity for opening a vegan Italian restaurant in her hometown of Akron, Ohio, but her Executive Chef, Scot Jones, may have been hiding in her shadow.
Not anymore.
Jones has authored a few chapters in an upcoming vegan cookbook and while he wasn’t in The Vegiterranean kitchen perfecting spaghetti with “rawmesan,” he developed recipes for Oprah’s famous 21 Day vegan cleanse.
The book’s working title, The Conscious Vegan, is written by chef Tal Ronnen, founder of Veg Advantage, a non-profit organization that helps restaurants put vegetarian items on their menus.
When Jones met Ronnen to consult on the menu for The Vegiterranean, the two hit it off well and Jones was asked to assist in providing recipes for Oprah Winfrey’s 21 day vegan cleanse.
”He used 21 of my recipes and 21 of his recipes to do Oprah’s 21 Day Cleanse in Hawaii last summer,” Jones said.
The book is scheduled to be released this fall and will feature a couple of chapters and recipes from Jones, like SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH TEMPEH BACON AND CHIPOTLE CREAM.
Jones isn’t a vegetarian yet, but he’s added more vegan foods into his diet.
