Praise for John Schlimm:

FOR GRILLING VEGAN STYLE:

Grilling Vegan Style cracks the code to making summer last all year round by combining equal parts compassion, fire, and natures freshest ingredients. This is a feast the whole family can enjoy, and feel good about!

GENE BAUR, PRESIDENT AND CO-FOUNDER OF FARM SANCTUARY

We often cite several inspirations for what we do at MATT & NAT, however few of them get us salivating as does great vegan food! Johns pioneering take on the traditional BBQ in Grilling Vegan Style (including desserts!) has gotten us VERY excited. Another cultural phenomenon has been brought into the twenty-first century, thank you John for providing vegans a path to partake in a favorite summertime tradition!

INDER BEDI, FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF MATT & NAT

I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about a Vegan Grilling book. After all in my world its all about the meat. I might even be considered a Non-Vegan! But Johns book has opened my eyes to the concept and his recipes are outstanding. The Slip-N-Sliders is a great recipe for everyone and I guarantee Im going to try the Strawberry Skewers with Vanilla, I Scream! real soon!

RAY LAMPE AKA DR. BBQ, AUTHOR OF RIBS, CHOPS, STEAKS, AND WINGS
AND DR. BBQs BIG-TIME BARBECUE COOKBOOK

I dare you to flip through this book and not already start to daydream about which mouth-watering recipe youd use to wow your friends at the next backyard BBQ. I cant decide who would be more fun to grill for: hipster gourmands on a rooftop in Brooklyn or my veganophobic friends in my dads backyard in Indiana. The recipes in this book are equal opportunity wowers!

MARISA MILLER WOLFSON, WRITER AND DIRECTOR OF VEGUCATED

Grilling Vegan Style brings you the best of all possible worldsdelicious, fun foods prepared in the most healthful way. For everyone who loves grilling, this is the way to do it right.

BARNARD, MD, PRESIDENT OF THE PHYSICIANS
COMMITTEE FOR RESPONSIBLE MEDICINE

When I was a kid, the best thing in the world was grilling time. Grilling Vegan Style brings the nostalgia back and highlights that for me as a new dad, there is a way to share the ritual of food and fire with my son.
