Recently I’ve been eating vegan a lot more, and feeling better for it. This is my current sourcebook. It contains 100 recipes, all refreshingly clear and doable. There are a dozen or so quintessential vegan ingredients, such as tamari, tahini, nutritional yeast, tofu, and maple syrup, so once you get the stuff for one dish, a few more open up. Everything I’ve made so far has been good. Several family members also have a copy, and we’re sharing our faves. [Reviews]

 

Earlier this year I read the what’s supposed to be the first ever novel (Robinson Crusoe) and this one is supposed to be the best. So far I can say it’s extremely readable, although with translations I never know quite who’s responsible for that. I appreciate Mme Bovary’s boredom, although her problems are quite different than mine. [Reviews]
