i love, love, love going to our library here. not only is it one of the coolest libraries i've ever been in (to be more specific, one of the coolest of the the libraries that i've visited in florida. all of you floridians that read know where i'm coming from with that comment) but it also has some of the most surprising books that you could imagine. kailey gets her manga books, i get random obscure stuff, keegan gets...well, she gets picture books with big words which is pretty standard for most mini bugs her age.
to the point though! i got books today on vegetarian and vegan cooking. the bestest book of the three i got was a book titled "vegan with a vengeance" by isa chandra moskowitz. her writing is a whole lot like mine and she made me fall in love with her as soon as she started quoting crass, "if the programs not the one you want, get up, turn off the set. it's only you that can decide the life you're gonna get". hot. for reals. hot.
her recipes sound amazing and she writes about working for food not bombs and giving back to the community. she also hosts a vegan cooking show called "the post punk kitchen", not because of the music movement that came after punk but for us oldie mc oldersons that were at one time somewhat different but now have matured. or become boring. whatevs. hee hee.
to boot, there are a whole load of ethnic dish translations - most heavily in jewish cuisine. she speaks a lot about wanting to feed the sickly vegans so obviously the longest chapter is in baked goods. too bad i'm not a sweet tooth, i could gain a couple of pounds making some of her stuff - including a rendition of a hostess cupcake.
i haven't tried any of her stuff yet obviously but i'll keep you posted. in the mean time, if you are interested in good books for vegan food, take a look. you'll be amused at very, very least.
