Cookbooks, Protein Powder, and More

The Date: Wednesday, August 24
The Delivery: Chia powder and non-vegan lip balm from Navitas Naturals, plant-based protein powder from Plant Fusion, Naked Wine by Alice Feiring, and Candle 79 Cookbook by Joy Pierson, Angel Ramos, and Jorge Pineda
Staff Pick: Candle 79 Cookbook

The Delivery: We've been hearing (not to mention dreaming) about this new cookbook for months (months, we tell you!) and when it was delivered, we immediately began flipping through its pages at a frenzied and ravenous pace. At first glance, we're in love with the Nori- and Sesame-Crusted Seitan and Chile-Grilled Tofu with Avocado-Tomatillo Sauce. Want to get a look at the cookbook, our remodeled deck, and Vaute Couture's just-released-today fall collection, all at one time? Sign up for an appointment on September 2 or 3 at Vaute Couture's San Francisco pop-up shop, located right here at the VNHQ!

Vegan Nacho Cheese and Baked Goods

The Date: Tuesday, January 18

The Delivery: Nacho Mom's fire roasted nacho cheese and assorted muffins and tarts from Candle Cafe

Staff Pick: The muffins and tarts from Candle Cafe

The DL: As if a three-day weekend (and subsequent four-day work week) weren't good enough, today we were visited by the lovely, wonderful, talented (we could go on...) duo of Bart Potenza and Joy Pierson, owners of Candle 79 and Candle Cafe! With all the delicious tarts and five (yes, five) different kinds of mini-muffins including cranberry orange and sweet carrot, it is safe to say that our bellies and our hearts felt the vegan love. Some serious jogs around the VNHQ are in order to work off these goodies—make sure to visit VegVote and let us know about your go-to winter workout!
