Hi folks. What are your fave recipe sites, recipe books, blogs, etc?

A friend sent me this vid of Dr. Michael Gregor on 'How to Avoid Death' and I have to say he persuaded me to go vegan.

There are a few popup-y things so you may have a better link for this vid. It's pretty dang persuasive, with evidence of the benefits of releasing meat and animal based foods to prevent 14 of the top 15 causes of death in the US.

I went to Costco today and now see my week's purchases will need to go to a shelter or other use.

This is my second go round, last was for 6 years ending a few decades ago.

Climate, cruelty, health, all support this change. Wish me luck, please, and thank you for the recipes should you post any.

mahalos!

'The Compassionate Cook' by Ingrid Newkirk, and a number of back issues of 'Vegetarian Times', but really, these days I mostly simply go to regular recipe sites. So many yummy dishes out there simply don't have animal parts in them, and you tend to have thousands of choices from any given site.

(Disclaimer: I've never been vegan, and am not currently vegetarian, just trying to eat less meat than in my worse years as an omnivore.)

She has agreed to make it public, so go and see:

She's quite a cookbook collector!

Haven't found a bad one yet.

There are also three reliable dessert books:

Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar

Vegan Pie in the Sky

Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World

All by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero

But all that sugar and flour makes me gain weight so I'm trying to stay away from baking.
