For a project I'm working on for next year, I'm hoping to chat with people who are vegan (or transitioning to veganism) and are over the age of 50. I'd especially like to hear from you if you started your transition to veganism after the age of 50. Please tell me why you went vegan, [...]

My new food guide The Plant Plate made its debut on VeganForHer.com today. This is a colorized version of the guide that will be in the book Vegan for Her (which will provide a little more detail on using the plate.) The information is almost identical to the food guide that Jack and I created [...]

Vida Vegan Con (VVC) has to be the most fun event on earth. I've been to lots of veggie fests, and they are all wonderful (every last one of them).

Mother's Day is not an especially important holiday around my house. I no longer have a mother and I'm not a mother (except to five cats who never get me anything). Ever since my mom died, it's a been a day tinged with a little bit of sadness, but mostly one that slips by unnoticed. [...]

One of my vegan cooking gurus, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, recently posted directions for producing perfectly browned tofu. She advises making it in a well-seasoned cast iron pan. I don't have a cast iron pan, but am thinking about getting one. I eat tofu every single day, and love when it's perfectly browned, so it deserves [...]

I'm counting the days with lots of excitement (and sometimes a little apprehension) to June 18, 2013—the release date for my new book Vegan for Her. I've been working on it for more than a year with my friend and co-author JL Fields, and it's hard to believe that in a few short months, this [...]
