Vegan and Green Cookbooks

The Date: Tuesday, February 1

The Delivery: The Happy Herbivore Cookbook by Lindsay S. Nixon and Eat Greens by Barbara Scott-Goodman and Liz Trovato

Staff Pick: The Happy Herbivore Cookbook

The DL: Home fries and cupcakes and meatball subs are a few of our favorite things. Not the healthiest though, right? Wrong! We are looking forward to Lindsay Nixon's new cookbook chock full of fat-free and low-fat vegan versions of our favorite highly caloric (and highly delicious) eats. We can just picture ourselves whipping up a batch of her guacamole before settling down on the couch. Speaking of couches, today office manager extraordinaire Lyndsay teaches you how to be a cheap (and healthy!) couch potato on VN's newly re-vamped Savvy Vegan blog. Check it out. After you make the guacamole, of course.

My Year of Meats

The Date: Tuesday, November 2

The Delivery: A VegNews book club book

Staff Pick: My Year of Meats by Ruth L. Ozeki

The DL: We're sure that by now you've all heard of the awesome phenomenon known as the VegNews Book Club. We just finished reading Kathy Stevens' Animal Camp, culminating in a fascinating Q & A with the Catskill Animal Sanctuary founder and author, Stevens herself. This month, book club hostess and superstar VegNews Office Manager Lyndsay Orwig is leading us through the novel My Year of Meats. Our lunchtime conversation today revolved solely around this scintillating read, and when you dive in and join our discussion you'll understand why.

Empty Box Day

The Date: Monday, September 13

The Delivery: Not a whole lot.
Staff Pick: Does a new bag of Trader Joe's coffee count?

The DL: Someone down at the post office must know that our office manager extraordinaire Lyndsay Orwig still hasn't returned from the 26th Annual Vegetarian Food Fair in Toronto, because the mail has been slow since she's been gone. This big empty box means that nothing was delivered today, which means that instead of snacking on new vegan treats, we're rather pathetically microwaving frozen corn. Luckily, Lyndsay will be back tomorrow, and life shall resume as usual. We're hoping for chocolate.
