Great topic. This book is increasingly timely for a wide variety of existential reasons, not just for vegans, and I think it should become the original standard resource in kitchen libraries, like Moosewood was. This particular recipe is terrific. I am waiting on a few different root crops to finish developing in the garden so I can try more variations and flavor combos this year with various roots and their tops. So many things to try! I haven't tried any of his bun recipes yet though.
I'll have to give these a try. And I've requested the book from the library to leaf through and see whatever good looking burgers appeal me.
I, too, avoid Impossible Meat and similar products because they seem so industrially manufactured to me. I did have occasion to eat at Shack Shake recently, somewhere I never go. I ordered their new Veggie Shack burger (the patty itself is vegan, other included ingredients have some dairy in them) which is claimed to be made from mushrooms, sweet potatoes, carrots, farro, and quinoa along with spices and seasoning. I was pretty gobsmacked at how good it was. To my palate it ate a lot like an actual burger. I would love to see a complete ingredient and nutrition list for the patty to see if it is as innocent as claimed. (I have been unable to find one yet...)
I made these recently, and they are SO GOOD!

Thank you so much for this spotlight, Andrew!
