Yotam Ottolenghi is definitely in style, as he’s devoted an entire cookbook to plant-based cooking.

GQ UK picked up on this and decided to sit with the chef and author for a one-on-one session where explained that most people don’t realize what they’re missing when they pass on cauliflower.

“I have a lot of fans in predominantly Muslim countries like Malaysia, where my preoccupation with pork surely did not go down well. I have a lot of vegetarian fans, and it’s a constant surprise and delight to me that they find me entertaining, considering my dubious view of their lifestyles.”

—Anthony Bourdain, on fans that do not necessarily agree with him.

But it’s actually an exciting series from Bravo featuring Top Chef‘s big names that are already doing quite well like Fabio Viviani, Richard Blais, Spike Mendelsohn and Jennifer Carroll, who’s opening the vegetarian-friendly Concrete Blonde in New York City’s West Village.
