OX COOKBOOK 6 (Cooking without Bones 6)

The classic shared kitchen cookbook is back for its sixth edition!

Since 1997, the "Ox-Kochbuch" (Ox Cookbook) has become a standard work for meat-free cooking, helping many people to venture into pots and ovens for the very first time. Anyone who thinks vegan cooking and baking is complicated simply hasn't tried the purely plant-based cuisine à la "Kochen ohne Knochen" (Cooking without Bones).

Joachim Hiller and Uschi Herzer are behind the punk rock magazine "Ox" and have been living and cooking animal-product-free for many years – they know what they're talking about. In this cookbook, they present over 150 recipes, including basics for appetizers, soups, main courses, desserts, and sweets, as well as menus, more elaborate dishes, and many popular classics from Germany and around the world, all in a vegan guise. In their creative, vegan punk rock kitchen, not only do meat alternatives made from soy and seitan find their way into pots and pans, but they also show in many recipes how to prepare delicious meals completely without relying on cooking with meat, cheese, and the like. Anything that tastes good and is fun is allowed!

And of course, also included again: music tips for every recipe and illustrations by Rautie.

Since the first issue of the punk rock fanzine "Ox" in 1989, a page with meatless recipes has been a regular feature of the magazine. The motivation of Ox creator Joachim Hiller and co-author Uschi Herzer from the beginning was to share their enthusiasm for cooking without bones with others – and with the knowledge that all beginnings are difficult. In 1997, the first "Ox-Kochbuch" was created, and the response was considerable, both from within the scene and from people who had nothing to do with punk, leading to the release of four more Ox cookbooks over the years. All six Ox cookbooks have in common that they manage without elaborate photos, but are distinguished by practical, comprehensible, and above all unconventionally written recipes.

At a time when vegetarianism was still ridiculed and had not yet arrived in mainstream society, the Ox cookbooks did pioneering work. Volumes 1 to 4 were still both vegetarian and vegan, while Part 5 was a clear statement in favor of a purely plant-based diet.
