With both What the Health and Okja streaming on Netflix, I’ve had a lot of people tell me that they’ve switched to a plant-based diet or have decided to go vegan. Since it’s a new way of cooking, starting off can be a little difficult. Even armed with a shelf full of vegan cookbooks, mealtime…

Leek and Wild Mushroom-Stuffed Potato Skins from Peace & Parsnips by Lee Watson
I’m a little bit of a cookbook junkie, so I have a difficult time saying no when I’m asked to review a new book. This year I’m trying not to take on too many reviews, so that I can do my own thing. So when I was asked if I’d like a review copy of…

Way back before I went vegan, there are only a few different types of milks that I would choose from: whole, skim, 2%, and chocolate. They all came from cows. When I ditched dairy milk in the mid-nineties, the two main choices I had were soy milk and rice milk, both coming in vanilla, unsweetened,…
