Books & Toothbrushes

The Delivery: Sticky Fingers' Sweets: 100 Super-Secret Vegan Recipes by Doron Petersan, The Yoga of Eating: Becoming a Food Yogi by Paul Rodney Turner, and Mouth Watchers' antibacterial powered toothbrush

Staff Pick: Sticky Fingers' Sweets

The DL: Watching vegan cupcake queen Doron Petersan win the Food Network’s Cupcake Wars (twice!) was cause for sweet celebration—not only did she and her Sticky Fingers sidekick Jenny Webb show the world how delicious cruelty-free confections can be, but she also made great strides in the world of puns. The recipes for Sticky Fingers' prize-winning and hilariously named cupcakes, Gilbert Ganachefried and George Caramelin, can be found in her new book, which we were lucky enough to preview. The book comes out February 16, but if you can’t wait another month to see what Petersan has to say, check out our interview with her here!

The Delivery: Celebrate Vegan by Dynise Balcavage, Tofu Misozuke from Rau Om, a galley of Gluten-Free Vegan Comfort Food by Susan O’Brien, and a galley of Chloe Coscarelli’s Chloe’s Kitchen

The DL: Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we’re counting down the days to our annual holiday luncheon (just six left!). The main course will be a Native Foods Wellington and we couldn’t be more excited! One lucky reader will dine in VN-style with a Native Wellington, delivered to their door next week and that lucky reader could be you—just leave a comment on the giveaway page giving us the DL on your favorite Thanksgiving dessert.

Speaking of parties, our annual Thanksgiving luncheon was announced today. Check out the photo album from last year’s event, which featured a Wellington from Native Foods Café, chocolate-peppermint bark, homemade cranberry sauce, and more.
