VEGANISM - IT JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER!

when a book claims that “the science is clear. the results are unmistakable”, and that by changing my diet i can “dramatically reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity” … how could i not invest a little time in finding out exactly how this can be done! the china study: the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted and the startling implications for diet, weight loss and long-term health was well worth the investment and i not only feel more supported in my decision to be vegan, but inspired to share this information with others in my field of study, circle of friends and family and anyone who cares to ask what the benefits of my lifestyle are!

after hearing the name of this text pop up here and there, and subsequently reading some great reviews, i decided to hop online and excitedly place an order for this and a few other vegan reads

although the spanish mail system required considerable patience, the china study: the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted and the startling implications for diet, weight loss and long-term health finally landed on my desk ready to educate me and reinforce my views on how great a vegan diet really is!

NEW VEGAN READS

thank you post man (or maybe that should be post person?!) for delivering 2 new books to my house today - yay! (not that i will be getting a chance to flick through their glossy pages and drool over their delicious recipes for some time... sad face!)

two newbies entering the ever expanding vegan cookbook collection are "chloe's kitchen" by chloe coscarelli (who has a fab website too, which you can check out at chefchloe.com) and "the sexy vegan cookbook" by brian l patton.

INSPIRED

everyday i seem to stumble across more and more amazing blogs, articles and publications that fill me with a sense of purpose and inspiration! one such publication is chickpea magazine - it is so beautifully designed and the content is ... well amaze! check it out - you can access it online at issuu

ADDICTION

my confession! i am a tiny-little-bit addicted to buying cook books! especially those with awesome photos of delicious food! any time i'm anywhere really... and i stumble across a book shop (particularly when i'm on holiday) i head on in to the cook book section and see if i can find any new vegan reads!

yesterday i happened to spot an international book store (not that i wouldn't be keen to translate a foreign language text if it seemed worthwhile) and found 2 books that i am going to check out online! (being away from home, and have a restriction on baggage weight, means heavy books aren't the best thing to be shopping for)

the two titles that i had a flick through were 'raw food real world' - which looked great! and 'raw food kitchen' - which also had some good ideas and inspiring photography

some of the fab vegan books i have added to my treasured collection include:

• 'vegan brunch', 'veganomicon' and 'appetite for reduction' by isa chandra moskowitz;
• 'viva vegan' by terry hope romero;
• 'colour me vegan' by colleen patrick-goudreau;
• 'big vegan' by robin asbell;
• 'babycakes' and 'babycakes covers the classics by erin mckenna; and
• 'sweet vegan' by emily mainquist

just to name a few!
