Radio Boston welcomes two vegan/vegetarian chefs into the studio today, Stuart Reiter of Somerville’s True Bistro and Pankaj Pradhan of The Red Lentil in Watertown.

We’ll be tasting quite a bit on the air and if your interest is piqued, never fear, we scored some of the recipes!!

Also important, we’ll be taking your questions (really, how do you use tempeh) as well as your comments.   Call us at 1-800-423-8255 or tweet us @pubradiokitchen and @radioboston.  Follow Radio Boston and Public Radio Kitchen on Facebook, too.

    Thank you so much for the show on vegan chefs. It’s great to finally have some vegan restaurants in the Boston area, and I’m so appreciative that you gave them a little publicity. (Up until recently my vegan friends and I would have to frequently travel to NYC if we wanted to dine in a decent vegan restaurant.)

    I loved your topic today of local vegan restaurants, but I would really like to see this recipe: Gluten-Free Vegan Shepherd Pie from The Red Lentil, made for home use, the recipe posted seems to for a restaurant quantity.
