How a 35-Year Meat Chef Built a Fully Plant-Based Caesar Salad With Soy Chunks, Dairy-Free Parm, and Nori Dressing
Vegan chef Derek Sarno shares five plant-based recipes for an epic Caesar salad spread: dairy-free hemp seed parmesan, toasted nori Caesar dressing, seasoned soy chunk 'chicken,' sourdough croutons, and Dijon-painted roasted potatoes. The video also weaves in Derek's personal story of transitioning from a lifelong meat chef to a vegan cook, and wraps with a birthday celebration for his dog Frankie.
