If you need a reason to become a vegan, Sue Donaldson outlines the ethical, environmental, and health reasons why a meat and animal product-free lifestyle is not only attainable but necessary. This book is packed with information and resources for eating and living animal free, including advice for making the transition and dealing with questions from family and friends, a glossary of ingredients, and a list of websites, books and articles for further reading. There are over 80 recipes for vegan appetizers, soups, main courses and desserts, plus breakfast and lunch ideas. Even unrepentant carnivores might be tempted by vegan recipes for Baked Red Peppers with Garlic and Capers, Spicy Chickpea Curry, and Risotto with Lemon and Tarragon.
