JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Vegan hedonism

A co-worker forwarded me the link to this story in the New York Times, titled “Strict Vegan Ethics, Frosted With Hedonism” (if you don’t already have one, you’ll need to sign up for a free login to read it). It’s about a punk vegan chef and how she creates luscious dishes—especially cupcakes—without the typical eggs, butter and cream. She and her co-author have two cookbooks: Vegan With a Vengeance and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, and she also has a public-access TV show in New York. It’s an interesting read.

Be sure to click on the “Related” recipe links—the butternut squash rice paper rolls sound FABULOUS!
