A trip through Europe inspired the authors of The Artful Way to Plant-Based Cooking to seek adventures in life and on their plates
Crane-Leroux and her mom, Trudy Crane, decided to write their second cookbook together about the joys of plant-based eating, the first thing they did was book a three-week trip to Europe.often, and they’d invariably end up in local food markets where they learned to appreciate diverse culinary traditions, the bounty of fresh ingredients, and the emphasis placed on eating a Mediterranean diet that leans heavily on fruits, vegetables and legumes.
Unlike other plant-based cookbooks, written by dietitians who preach the health benefits of eating less meat and provide data points and studies on how much kinder it is for the planet, their approach is to gently nudge readers to try incorporating more vegetables, fruits, nuts and legumes into their diet. Their approach is artful and their cookbook reflects vegan cooking as a lifestyle, not just a passing fad.
Interestingly, both women’s careers started off in fashion, not food. For more than 30 years, Trudy, who is 64, worked in fashion marketing and Chloé would often tag along with her mom on fashion shoots. The little girl adored the beautiful dresses, the glamourous models and the frenetic buzz of the fashion world.
In the meantime, Trudy was feeling untethered. When her daughter moved to New York, Trudy decided to pursue ceramics, a beloved hobby, full-time. “Many of my friends thought I was crazy,” she says. “But deep down, I had always yearned for a career that would bring me closer to my true self. Society often pressures us to choose the safe route, but I have always believed that when you do what you love, success will naturally follow.
Chloé’s professional collaborations with chefs and food stylists provided her with valuable insights – and the courage – to try creating her own recipes. She realized that the same techniques used to spice meat and chicken could be applied to tofu and other plant-based ingredients. She began experimenting with flavourful combinations that resulted in fresh, delicious, straight-forward dishes.
