Welcome New People!

[Guest guest]

Welcome, Beth and Berti! Yes it's pretty quiet at the moment - vegans must be

one of those hibernating species

 

So Berti, you became vegan because you liked the food in your cook book so much?

I've never heard that reason given before! That's pretty cool. Just shows how

great vegan food is!

Hi Cat :-)

 

 

 

Yeah somehow it made me think and veganism HAS been in the back of my mind

for YEARS, only I found it too much hassle and too extreme

 

What nice surprises life can give you, eh?

 

Also, since I stopped using milkproducts especially I have more energy.

 

Now I have become a vegan cookbook collector ..I was a cookbook collector

already but the vegan ones DID really help with the turnover.

 

Examples, joanne stephaniaks uncheese book/ vegan vittles , the books by

colleen Patrick Goudreau joy of vegan baking/ the vegan table, and another

great one was Nonna's Italian kitchen (author?)

 

But in my vegetarian times I was a fan of " the farm " , the famous American

community.

 

The book that started my veganism was by lisette Kreischer, ecofabulous

cooking in all seasons (in dutch), it is a very cute, nicely styled, well

photographed (VERY important) bok.

 

Worst book I had: Veganomicon.

 

I bought that last one because of all the reviews/ recommendation and it was

sooooooo ....no, sorry, NOT my thing.

 

SO that last one is gathering dust.

 

 

 

Of course, when asked I DO give reasons which I stand behind now for turning

vegan: sustainability, environmental..the idea that more people in the world

could get food if we quit eating meat, is also an important one.

 

Guess everyone has her/ his own reasons to turn vegan.

 

 

 

Lovin' it. :-)
