Eat, Drink & Be Vegan Dreena Burton Arsenal Pulp Press, 2007 http://vivelevegan.blogspot.com/
What I like most about Dreena’s books, in addition to the great food photography, is that she doesn’t rehash the same familiar recipes you find in a lot of […]

Hey folks… sorry it’s been a quiet December around these parts. Things should pick up in the new year.
Even though I haven’t been writing much, I have been doing some work on the site. For one, the recipes are back online. These are recipes that were posted on the previous version of […]

Reader Jennifer passed me a link to a post she wrote on Animalblawg about a lunch held yesterday by her Student Animal Legal Defense Fund.  Two speakers from the HSUS were invited to speak about how meat production contributes to climate change.  Good stuff, maybe?
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case:
The speaker’s powerpoint presentation listed three methods […]
