I am a hardcore meat eater, my nose runs with the smell of meats floating around the Christmas markets in Prague. My thoughts have always been that vegetables and modern technology can never replace or authentically recreate the flavour and smell of meat, that no amount of work or cooking can ever truly complete a dish like protein can. Koko has shown me that it doesn’t have to, that the proteins normally associated with Vietnamese dishes, don’t in fact, have to be meat based.
