Before my first child I was vegan for six years. It was difficult at first but then I was quite used to it. I enjoyed the vegan lifestyle and loved being creative with recipes that normally called for dairy products. My family is now mainly vegetarian. We only eat fish (usually Salmon because of our Pacific Northwest location) occasionally. But I still cook many vegan dishes.
I love finding new great vegan recipes. When I had the opportunity to review 125 Best Vegan Recipes by Beth Gurney and Maxine Chuck, I couldn’t pass it up. I know you can find many recipes online these days, but nothing replaces having an actual cookbook in front of you on the kitchen counter!
