Alice Leonard wrote: Hi Colleen I got Vegan Table from our local library and my son Mack (13) and I absolutely love it! I'm definitely going to buy it (I'm very cautious with buying cookbooks because they're expensive here in NZ). Mack made the channa masala on Friday evening - we were thrilled that it was oil-free, because my husband Billy can't have any oil, and I usually have to adapt recipes to suit. I mentioned it on the fatfreevegan list and people are clamouring for the recipe. Are you happy for me to post it?
