Now THAT'S a GOOD read!

I thought I'd put a list together of my favourite, most inspiring books, cookbooks & websites. I think these are excellent for anyone looking into vegetarianism/veganism but don't know where to start. Or maybe you've already made the switch but feeling like you need some more recipes? Or maybe just want to keep learning? Enjoy! <3

Books:

  • Quantum Wellness ~ Kathy Freston (some great!!! recipes at the back of the book)
  • The China Study ~ Dr. T. Colin Campbell
  • Skinny Bitch ~ Rory Freedman & Kim Barnouin
  • The Food Revolution ~ John Robbins (the Heir to Baskin Robbins, he gave it all up for veganism!)

Cookbooks: (these are ALL excellent, but I've bolded the ones I use the most)

  • The Kind Diet ~ Alicia Silverstone
  • The Conscious Cook ~ Tal Ronnen
  • How It All Vegan, La Dolce Vegan, The Garden of Vegan ~ Sarah Kramer & Tanya Barnard
  • Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World! ~ Isa Chandra Moskowitz & Terry Hope Romero

Websites:

  • The Future of Food (explains why ORGANIC is SOOO important!)
  • Karmavore (where to buy ALL vegan goods...food, clothes, shiney's & more)
  • Everyday Dish (vegan cooking videos!)
  • Vegan Coach (Sassy teaches you how to eat vegan whole foods, she's great!!!)
  • Happy Cow (website to search for veg restaurants near you!)
  • Canadians for Ethical Treatment of Food Animals (VERY informative website. Twyla is SOO AMAZING & wonderful & genuine. The stuff she does, for animals..i just adore her. She will reply to your emails personally as well. We need more people like Twyla).
  • Ellen (has lots of recipes on her site. LOVE how she features vegan cooking on her show!)



Well I hope this gives you some new avenues to explore. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. If you have any questions, fire away! :)
