Would anyone dare to play down the unstoppable rise of plant-based foods and the boom in healthy cooking? Society's demand for these options is now inescapable, as a result of the torrent of food intolerances and allergies affecting an increasing number of people. Whether due to needs or trends, the future is likely to see increasing numbers of flexible vegetarians— or flexitarians, to use the term coined by the restaurant Flax and Kale. Now there is even vegan haute cuisine. (José Carlos Capel)
