Danny Bowien's 'Mission Vegan: Wildly Delicious Food for Everyone' Cookbook Brings Big Flavor
The Mission Chinese Food chef teaches the art of freewheeling culinary exploration.






Following The Mission Chinese Food Cookbook, Co-Founder and Chef of Mission Chinese Food restaurants in San Francisco and New York, Danny Bowien, has now released a new cookbook centered around vegan cooking. Mission Vegan: Wildly Delicious Food for Everyone builds on Bowien’s newfound passion for meat-free, dairy-free dishes that started eight years ago when the chef became a dad and got sober.
Focusing on freewheeling exploration and big flavor, the dishes found in the new cookbook continue the fun and original culinary outlook featured at Mission Chinese Food. Recipes like the Chili Fried Rice, Cold Buckwheat Noodles with Dragon Fruit Ice, Pineapple Kimchi, and more all reflect a “uniquely American” perspective marked by curiosity and enthusiasm.
It is also important to note, Mission Vegan: Wildly Delicious Food for Everyone is geared toward home cooks, delivering restaurant quality, while maintaining an emphasis on the fun of cooking. With the cookbook, Danny Bowien looked to express journey-in-progress, a chef’s mission to find inspiration, joy, and flavor in food, no matter where life takes you.
Priced at $36, Mission Vegan: Wildly Delicious Food for Everyone is available now on Amazon and check out some of Danny Bowien’s vegan creations below.
