Winning Recipe

Laurel Hill Connection
July 17, 2008

I was delighted to read the Connection’s informative article about vegan eating featuring Asian Grill and Mimi Clark ["Food for Body and Soul," Connection, July 3-9, 2008]. It’s true, as Ms. Clark points out, that dining on meat-free meals doesn’t mean skimping on flavor. Rather, it simply means choosing the cruelty-free versions of our favorite foods.

The instant success of Asian Grill’s new vegan menu offers the perfect example. In fact, the black pepper "beef," mango "shrimp" and other savory mock meat dishes are so mouthwatering that Asian Grill was spotlighted as May’s Feature of the Month on www.VegDC.com, the metro region’s most comprehensive online guide for the very best in veg-friendly dining.

Thanks to eateries like Asian Grill and Mimi Clark’s wonderful vegan recipes and cooking classes, it’s never been easier — or more delicious — to choose animal-friendly fare in the D.C. area.
