Water Pitcher, Books, and VegNews July+August

The Date: Friday, June 10
The Delivery: An alkaline water pitcher from Water Works 4 U, Live Raw by Mimi Kirk, Ninety-Five, edited by No Voice Unheard, and the VegNews July+August issue
Staff Pick: July+August!

The DL: Beautiful weather, a pizza taste test, and our gorgeous, fabulous, obsession-inducing July+August issue? We're not sure how to make this Friday any better. From an interview with classy lass and cover star Portia de Rossi (some of you were right when we had you guess who on our Facebook page!) to dairy-free ice cream sundaes, this issue is overflowing with summery delights. Subscribers should be getting their copies starting Wednesday. Not a subscriber? Make it happen here! And have a great weekend while you're at it!

Deodorant and Raw Cookbooks

The Date: Wednesday, February 23

The Delivery: Deodorant sticks from Clinique, Ani's Raw Food Asia by Ani Phyo, Rawlicious by Peter and Beryn Daniel, and Live Raw by Mimi Kirk

Staff Pick: Ani's Raw Food Asia

The DL: We were delighted to see Ani's new cookbook in the mail today. While we like a big baked-up batch of mac and cheese pretty much always, we love Ani's creative take on raw eats and treats (so much so that we once threw a party for her). We are looking forward to trying out her recipes for "Fried" Vegetable Noodles and Lychee Asian Lime Crêpes with Ginger Pear Sorbet, but only after we finish this month's VegNews Book Club pick, Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. Or we'll read them both. Or we'll read them both and start Veganist by Kathy Freston (the Book Club's next pick), too.
