Cookbooks and Raw Snacks

The Date: Wednesday, July 6
The Delivery: All American Vegan by Jennifer and Nathan Winograd, Vegan for Life by Jack Norris and Virginia Messina, and raw banana chip cereal and raw tortillas from Zaza Raw
Staff Pick: All American Vegan

The DL: We know not to judge a book by its cover, but in the case of All American Vegan we couldn't help ourselves. It's just so darn cute! We hoped we wouldn't find recipes for boiled sprouts and salad topped with salad when opening its pages, and we were much relieved to find Americana-inspired dishes such as corndogs and banana cream pie instead. Now if only we had a spatula like the guy on the cover, we could make some serious batches of All American Vegan's French toast.

Vegan Books, Cookbooks, and Ice Cream

The Date: Monday, April 4

The Delivery: Vegan for Life by Jack Norris and Virginia Messina, Have Your Cake and Vegan Too by Kris Holechek, The 100 Best Gluten-Free Recipes for Your Vegan Kitchen by Kelly E. Keough, and vegan ice cream in Coffee, Toasted Coconut, and Sweet Mint from Rocket Ship Ice Cream

Staff Pick: Have Your Cake and Vegan Too

The DL: We love having our cake and vegan too; it's the only way we know how. Flipping through the pages of Kris Holechek's cookbook (Zucchini Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting! Snickerdoodle Cake! Peanut Butter Chocolate Dream Cake!) had us craving some cake like crazy. Want to know what else we're craving at VNHQ this week? The new VegNews Vegan Bucket List Giveaway: three dozen cinnamon rolls from Cinnaholic. And no, the "three" is not a joke. We promise our April Fool's Day antics (this, this, and this) are behind us.
