Chocolate and Veggiyana

The Delivery: Assorted NewTree chocolate bars and Veggiyana: The Dharma of Cooking by Sandra Garson

Staff Pick: Veggiyana

The DL: If there’s any fail-proof way of acquiring good karma, it’s cooking good food for others, so perhaps this book will help. After all, how could someone not want to make the recipe for Buddha’s Delight—a stir-fry with gingko nuts, snow peas, bamboo shoots, lotus root, and more. For another book that’s sure to make friends and family drool with its incredible recipes, check out Spork-Fed. Authors Jenny Engel and Heather Goldberg will be celebrating its launch here at the VegNews Book Bash next Friday, October 21. Bonus—the VIP tickets come with a complimentary copy of Spork-Fed­, so you can make recipes like French Onion Soup, Crunchy Peanut Butter Bonbons, and Twice-Baked Potatoes With a Broccoli and Cheese Filling. Be sure to score your ticket before they’re all gone!

 

Chocolate, a Cookbook, and Noodles

The Date: Wednesday, June 22
The Delivery: Chocolate from Dagoba, asian entrees from Dr. McDougall's Right Foods, and Veggiyana by Sandra Garson
Staff Pick: The Thai Peanut Noodles

The DL: What a bummer! All that chocolate and only the cocoa powder is vegan. Not to fear, however, because we love slurping up delicious peanut noodles from a cute bowl almost as much as chocolate. Plus, there's always the VegNews Store, filled with marzipan bars, candy bars, and vegan marshmallows, not to mention our brand new July+August issue. Candy and VegNews? Now that's a package we'd like to see in the mail every day.
