A new cooking challenge is about to take vegan food preparation to a whole new level. An Iron Chef-style competition named Veggie Conquest will take place in New York City each month, and contestants will prepare a vegan dish at home that will incorporate a secret ingredient provided by Veggie Conquest. The hopeful chefs will then bring the dish to a selected venue to be judged and tasted for prizes and prestige. The first competition will feature bloggers Joshua Katcher and Kathy Patalsky and food stylist Brian Preston-Campbell as judges. As the Iron Chef would say, whose cuisine will reign supreme?
