Chloe Coscarelli made her mark into the culinary scene as the only vegan chef to capture the top prize on Food Network’s Cupcake Wars. She has been recognized for bringing vegan cuisine to the mainstream as an award-winning chef, successful entrepreneur, and bestselling cookbook author. Debunking the myth that vegan cooking is bland and visually unenticing, Chloe shares her bright, colorful, and tasteful recipes using fresh, healthy ingredients. She has published three bestselling cookbooks, bringing healthy and satisfying vegan and plant-based dishes to the masses.

“As a Southern cook, the biggest challenge in making vegan dishes is trying to figure out how to leave out meat and dairy without sacrificing flavor and texture. Chloe is one of my favorite vegan chefs because she really understands that you have to maintain not only the great flavors of traditional dishes, but also preserve those great textures. Whether you are 100% vegan or just want to incorporate more whole food, plant-based dishes into your life, Chloe’s got the answers.” —Trisha Yearwood
 
“Chloe has changed the way vegans are seen, she has transformed the vegan landscape, and she has stolen this vegan’s heart. Chloe Flavor is a must-have for anyone looking to expand their diet, their mind, and their palate as part of Chloe’s plant-based revolution.” —Mayim Bialik

Chloe Coscarelli has revolutionized vegan diets with exciting vegan recipes that are fun to cook and full of flavor. When she decided to become a vegan chef, she dreamed of changing the way the world ate. This was in the “pre-kale” days, when veggie burgers were frozen, tasteless patties loathed by the general public and if a vegan wanted to eat, well, then she had to cook! Today, corner stores stock their shelves with almond milk and mainstream restaurants pepper their menus with quinoa, tempeh, chia seeds, faro, ramps, and so many variations of avocado toast. There is truly no better time to love to eat than now—and no easier time to be a vegan. 

In Chloe Flavor, every recipe is bold in taste, loud in color, unabashedly unique, and, above all, easy to make. With dishes like Smoky Grits & Greens, Mango-Guacamole Crunch Burgers, and Sea Salted Chocolate Chunk Cookies, this food is for fun, friends, and family—and it’s all about the flavor. Vegans will delight in Chloe’s creations and carnivores won’t miss the meat one bit.
