announcing "vegan bowls"

I am so, SO excited to announce that the final cover for my new cookbook, Vegan Bowls (Amazon, B&N), is official and the book is at the printers! The book is currently on sale and ready for pre-order at the ridiculously low price of $10 plus change on Amazon (not sure how long that'll last!).

Vegan Bowls came about while I was writing Everyday Vegan Eats (Amazon, B&N). During my work on that project, while I was writing, and rewriting and developing and correcting, I realized that we were ordering take-out a lot more than when I had a more luxurious amount of time to cook.

This turn of events that I had taken for granted surprised me as I have/had been a homeschooling mom of three for 15 years, with the option to begin dinner at 4 or 5 or 6 - solely dependent on my whim and the circumstances. All of a sudden, I needed dinner on the table even before I realized dinner-time had already arrived.

Turns out, I not only needed dinner on the table quickly, but it needed to be a complete meal. That's where bowls came to the rescue. Bowl meals are complete meals served in the convenience of a bowl.  That means starch, vegetable and protein, all in one serving vessel.

After much recipe research and development, I am proud to deliver this collection of around 99 delicious COMPLETE meals in a beautiful volume, published by Vegan Heritage Press.

To give you a little idea of the recipes offered in Vegan Bowls, here are some tease shots:

I'll be posting recipes from Vegan Bowls (Amazon, B&N) in the coming weeks and will, of course, have giveaways for this book and other books I happen to love. Stay tuned!

I hope you will see why I'm so crazy excited about this book - flavorful recipes, great tips on getting you in and out of the kitchen in record time, all while preparing healthy, complete meals!
