Introducing my latest cookbook:  The Complete Plant-Based Diet: A Guide and Cookbook to Enjoy Eating More Plants!

I feel like this book - my eighth - is somewhat of a community project. Since March I've been mostly staying at home - just like you - during the pandemic. I started offering weekly cooking classes and you were right there with me cooking, watching (or drinking ) along. During that time my publisher reached out to see if I had some ideas around a new cookbook and if I had time to write one.

Did I ever! ('Rona, I'm looking at you!)

And so while we were cooking together weekly, I was in the kitchen working on recipes that I hoped would appeal to all kinds of people. See, many in the vegan space don't think of me as "plant-based" ... and that's okay. I don't either. I always say that I'm a noun and that noun is vegan. But I do eat plants, obviously, and plant-based is an adjective that absolutely does describe a way in which I eat. Though over the years the term "plant-based" has morphed into something almost unrecognizable - I mean there are meat companies calling new products "plant-based" because they added vegetables to animal flesh. WHAT?! - yet it's quite uncomplicated. Plant-based eating simply means consuming vegetables, fruit, legumes & beans, grains, and nuts & seeds.

In this book, we'll stick to the basics with ZERO dogma, no judgment about diets, and just good old fashioned cooking up the five vegan food groups.

The Complete Plant-Based Diet cookbook is now available for pre-order and, friends, I hope you'll do just that. It's available in the usual online places and will be in bookstores, too, but you can move the VEGAN and PLANT-BASED algorithms needle right now by placing your order HERE. My long-time followers know I'm not in the vegan cookbook game for the money. It's not lucrative. But it is my passion because when people buy vegan cookbooks, they will be cooking more compassionately and that's good news for the animals, for their health, and for the planet.

Thank you, as always, for your support!
