Vegan cuisine often finds itself trapped in a dilemma: it is either an endless parade of side dishes or a total reliance on ultra-processed, plastic-wrapped industrial products. This book breaks with both traditions. There is no dyed seitan here, no jackfruit, and no bland tofu pretending to be something it's not.
"Neither Meat nor Fish" introduces a radically new concept: the architectural plant-based base. Rather than delivering finished meals, Nemo provides the tools for true culinary freedom. It is the creation of a plant-based "raw material"-as versatile as flour, yet with the structure, bite, and succulence previously associated only with animal products.
Through universal red, white, and fibrous bases for rag s or roasts, and reimagined foundations for "non-fish", this book presents a precise method born from years of research. It empowers you to break free from expensive convenience foods and revitalise traditional family recipes ethically and sustainably, without compromise.
This is not a manual for sacrifice; it is an invitation to transformation-a way to reclaim the centre of the plate through genuine craft and to create the future of tradition itself.
