Vegan Indulgence

I received a parcel in the mail this afternoon. Inside it was this:


My very lovely friend Leigh Drew (aka ZB ) has had her first cookbook published. Leigh is an awesome cook, she is creative and adventurous and her enthusiasm for great food is contagious. When she talks about her cooking you can't help but be excited with her. This little book is packed full of taste-bud tempting treats and each recipe is illustrated with gorgeous photographs, makes you hungry just reading it :)

I was lucky enough to be involved in some of the taste testing of these recipes earlier this year and all I can say is YUM!

If you'd like a copy for yourself Leigh has posted a list of places where you can find the book on her blog, which I'm reproducing here:
Online
aduki independent press, for both Australian and international orders
Amazon.com
Amazon.co.uk
Cruelty Free Shop
Food Fight!

"Real" Life
Organic food stores, health food stores, book stores (such as Dymocks, Megalong Books etc) - go and ask if they carry aduki titles, or contact aduki for more information on stockists.
Leigh also teaches Vegan cookery courses through the Sydney Community College and will be running 2 Vegan Indulgence Workshops, the first on Saturday August 23 from 10am to 4pm and the second on Saturday September 13 from 10am to 4pm.

You can explore some of Leigh's other vegan creations on her blog ZB's Vegan Recipes.

Hmm, what to cook first...choc cherry squares?...passionfruit melting moments?...aha! Orange and fig slice, this I remember as being one of my favourites, think I'll start there.

Awesome!!!

Are you vegan?

I tried it for about a month.

I always tell people it's a good idea to be vegan before becoming vegetarian.

It makes being a vegetarian seem SO easy.

No, I'm very much the omnivore but with a few friends and family around who are various shades of veg*n I'm well educated :)
