Vegan yum yum, by Lauren Ulm. Eat, drink & be vegan, by Deena Burton. Vegan with a vengeance, by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Also Clean Food, by Terry Walters is really good for eating local and seasonal. I would avoid Alicia Silverstone's the kind diet unless you really like daikon. Veg web.com is a great resource as well if you want veggie but not vegan recipes.

No problem, I found it. It should be there by Friday. Any favorites?

The first 30 or so pages are an introduction to "Clean Food". Meaning clean for your body, clean for the environment, etc. I found that information to be good, because you can easily be lost when looking at a recipe calling for Amaranth, Teff, Millet, Hijiki, or Aduki. The book groups recipes by season-- Or what you can find ripe and local during a given growing season.
Spring: The simple Hummus recipe, great. Yams with ginger and lime, so good. Swiss chard with roasted golden beets and sweet peas (All of which I grow in the spring because of this recipe), sofa king good -- add some chevre for a dairy treat. Summer: Fingerling potatoes and green beans with lemon dill dressing. Pad Thai summer rolls with tamarind dipping sauce. Sprouted Quinoa Tabbouleh -- This one I'm actually making tomorrow for my sister by request. I roast the tomatoes and add roasted pepitas too. ...You get the gist. Lots of good stuff. If you could try one new recipe a week, you'll love food as much as Ash and I.

A new recipe a week sounds like a realistic and attainable goal. If I can get Jo on board (and I think I can) we may even get two a week out of it. It would actually be fun to pick what the other person cooks. Kind of like a food challenge. We are both so competitive that we would probably end up with some good stuff.
