burger break + "vegan without borders" giveaway




Robin Robertson's brand new vegan cookbook "Vegan without Borders" is almost available (9/9/14)!

I am very excited for this book for a number of reasons:

1) this is an international cookbook spanning the globe.
2) the recipes are AMA-zing!
3) I tested for this book, so I KNOW it is AMA-zing!
4) the photography is just as spectacular as the recipes.
5) this is a gorgeous hardcover cookbook.

I have been a devoted recipe tester for Robin for many moons, now, and I have to say that this is one of her most ambitious endeavors. If there is anyone who can pull it off, though, it's Ms. Robertson.

I worked with her on this book just before I started working on my own cookbook (shameless plug: "Everyday Vegan Eats"), so it could have been a bit challenging, but since the recipes are typical Robin-style [EASY], I had no problem testing and living life.

Best, yet, however, this book is spectacular in both appearance and taste.

A few examples of the recipes I tested and LOVED:


Middle East: Ajvar

Greece: Greek Tomato Bruschetta


South America: Chimichurri-grilled Vegetables

Eastern Europe: Seitan Jagerschnitzel

France: Vegetable Pan Bagnat

Japan: Tofu Tonkatsu


Enough teasing! Let's get to the giveaway!

      yay! i've realized that when you type a comment it doesn't work until the reply function signs you in, so that's why my first comment didn't work. i've contacted you through facebook already, but i'm replying here as well to prove that i'm the same amelia.

    This would be perfect for our house, since we serve our Friday night guests food from a different country each week, going through the alphabet. My husband is a devoted carnivore, but I and a number of our guests need a vegan option. This book would be a great addition to our resources.

    Left a long message on FB. This book sounds perfect for my family. My daughter (14 years old) has become an excellent vegan cook in the year since we've become plant conscious. We look forward to both of your FB pages every day for inspiration. Kudos to you both.
