The Delivery: Appetite for Reduction by Isa Chandra Moskowitz
Staff Pick: The only item!

The DL: Happy 2011, everyone! We're thrilled to be back at work here at the VNHQ, and hope that you all had wonderful holidays. While we weren't overwhelmed with the volume of today's goods, it's hard to argue with the quality. Yes, we've received this book before, and yes, we're grateful to see it again. Maybe some of us are thinking about reducing ourselves a bit after teh holiday indulgences. Maybe this book comes at the perfect time. Just saying! Here's to the new year, and more new products to come!

Appetite for Reduction and Vegan Etsy

The Date: Thursday, December 8
The Delivery: Appetite for Reduction, and a vegan craft sample bag from Vegan Etsy
Staff Pick: Appetite for Reduction

The DL: Today's shipment had as oohing and aahing with delight, as adorable handmade creations from Vegan Etsy (looking for holiday gifts? Vegan Etsy and the VegNews Store have you covered!) shared real estate with a fresh-off-the-press copy of PPK superstar Isa Chandra Moskowitz' new cookbook, packed with recipes that promise to not do as much damage on your waistline as the normal holiday standards. Today's This Just In might as well just be your ultimate holiday shopping guide. You're welcome!

Appetite For Reduction

The Date: Tuesday, October 12

The Delivery: Advance copy of the upcoming weight-loss cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz

Staff Pick: Appetite For Reduction: 125 Fast and Filling Low-Fat Vegan Recipes

The DL: Very few weight-loss cookbooks could manage to excite us as much as this one, but vegan cookbook author Isa Chandra Moskowitz has earned our trust as an expert recipe developer. It was she, after all, who brought us Vegan Brunch, Vegan With A Vengeance, and, along with her partner in crime and VegNews columnist Terry Hope Romero, Veganomicon. And low-fat vegan recipes will provide a contrast to Isa and Terry's other not-so-low-fat gifts to vegans in the form of Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, and Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. It's all about balance, people.
