Vegan Books!

The Date: Thursday, January 20

The Delivery: A manuscript of Sweet Vegan by Emily Mainquist, Vegan's Daily Companion by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, and The Bond by Wayne Pacelle

Staff Pick: Vegan's Daily Companion

The DL: After two weeks of cheese, muffins, macaroons, queso, and mozzarella sticks, we here at VNHQ really needed a breather. And what better way to get one's mind off delicious vegan food than with delicious brain food? We chose Vegan's Daily Companion not only because we love Colleen Patrick-Goudreau (and her Joy of Vegan Baking), but also because the book's focus on compassionate living from every angle will be a perfect read for the new year. Plus there's a super cute cow on the cover. Hmm. All of a sudden we're craving something sweet. Where are those Candle Cafe muffins?

Emily's Desserts

The Date: Tuesday, November 16

The Delivery: Decadent goodies from Emily's Desserts

Staff Pick: Emily's new cake truffles.

The DL: Take chocolate cake, douse it in a thick coating of dark chocolate, and sprinkle with pecans or peanuts, and you have perfection—or so we're assuming just by admiring these adorable teacup-shaped confections from the always-dependable Emily. Emily also sent along a preview of her upcoming vegan dessert cake cookbook, Sweet Vegan. Speaking of cookbooks, have you purchased the VegNews Holiday Cookbook yet?

Oh, and we'll also throw in a pound of Allison's Gourmet Apple Pie Fudge. Good luck!
