Movies, Wallets, and Greek Delights

The Date: Friday, July 8
The Delivery: An advance copy of Vegucated, vegan wallets from The Vegan Collection, Turkish delight and ouzo from Greece (thanks to Editor-at-Large Laura Hooper Beck for the goods!), and The Latest in Clinical Nutrition, Volume 5
Staff Pick: Veducated

The DL: We first learned about the new documentary Vegucated when talking to Marisa Miller Wolfson for May+June 2011's "Water Cooler," and we can't wait to watch the film. It's always interesting to watch people's transformations as they go vegan. Spend your next rainy weekend watching some more great  veg films (did someone say Babe?) in our 10 Must-See Veggie Movies. Happy Friday!

Vegan Cookbook

The Date: Thursday, March 3

The Delivery: The Natural Vegan Kitchen by Christine Waltermyer

Staff Pick: The Natural Vegan Kitchen

The DL: It's a bit of a slow day for deliveries here at VNHQ, but that's okay with us: after a huge lunch at Herbivore with VN columnist (and Vegansaurus founder) Laura Hooper Beck, we're moving a little slowly, too. While we can't deny that we would have enjoyed a three-ton delivery of vegan chocolate bars, we are excited to check out this new cookbook, a host of recipes that highlight vegan and macrobiotic diets. We wonder if there's a recipe that involves three tons of vegan chocolate bars. Probably not.

Pie!

The Date: Wednesday, November 10

The Delivery: Pumpkin Pie courtesy of San Francisco's Bike Basket Pies and our beloved VegNews Editor-At-Large Laura Hooper Beck.

Staff Pick: The individual and simply adorable pumpkin pies with a flakey crust and a spiced, sweet, filling.

The DL: Laura made today the best Wednesday in recent history by gifting us here at VNHQ delicious individual pies made by the adorable bike-catered SF-based pie company Bike Basket Pies! We love Laura so much we don't even know where to begin. Laura is the founding editor of Vegansaurus, the web-mistress of VegNews' sister-site VegWeb, a VegNews columnist, and just an all-around amazing person. Oh, and the pie? UNBELIEVABLE. Huge props to Bike Basket Pies for their plentiful vegan options, and to Laura for being, well, Laura!
