“The secret of Khoury’s success is that, while most vegan recipes suggest swapping one ingredient for another - margarine for butter, for example - he rebuild the recipes from the bottom up, in the process rewriting the baking rule book.”

“…Khoury is making his two tone chocolate cake, a recipe using simple ingredients that is nonetheless radical because it contains no eggs or dairy and no unneccesary substitutes.”

“There are plenty of cookbooks for plant-based baked goods on the market, but only one comes from the meticulous mind of Philip Khoury. The pastry chef has been quietly revolutionizing the sweets of London’s famed Harrods Food Halls for years, tinkering with classic recipes to turn some of them plant-based.”

“Philip Khoury – head pastry chef at Harrods – has created a book that will be a game-changer… all using alternatives to the animal fats, eggs and dairy that are traditionally used.
