What do we, two dudes from Philly, know about “authentic” Asian cuisine? Nothing.
Photos of meal prep, photos of each day, each meal, and I think there might not be a photo for all the recipes in the back, but I could be wrong. She makes you do two days a week of meal prep a week; one huge day, and one smaller day. The recipes in the back aren’t plentiful enough to justify the price, and there are lots of standard recipes that are great for new vegans, but I don’t need another recipe for oat milk. The meal plan has you make 10 rice wraps, eat 5 for dinner, then eat 5 for lunch with greens and seeds, which feels silly since there were already greens in the wrap.
There are two reasons- one was that some shops aren’t 100% vegan, and it felt a little bit like I would just be featuring a bunch of health food stores. There are tons of fun products that are local or just a little harder to get, even at your local vegan market. Just to name a few featured at their store, Fat Badger (packaged cookies PA), Philly Bread Co (fresh baked goods, PA), Crust Bakery (bakery, PA), Batter and Crumbs (bakery, PA), Baba’s Bucha (kombucha, PA), Nutty Novelties (nut butters PA), Om Sweet Home (vegan butter NJ), Freakin Vegan (prepared foods NJ), Miss Rachel’s Pantry (prepared foods PA), Blackbird Pizza (seitan and pizza PA), and FINALLY Soy Cafe (prepared foods PA). As you can guess from the list of companies above, there are some fresh made bakery products at the shop.
It wasn’t bad, just wasn’t refried beans. This recipe has been hands down the most used recipe in this book. I love this recipe, and if you read the red velvet mole review, you might guess that my husband didn’t love this one. But I don’t think I would make this recipe again, it was WAY too thin.
Before going having kids, I didn’t think much about if a kids book is “vegan” or not. V is for Vegan by Ruby Roth Go to any vegan parenting board and ask for a book suggestion and you will be flooded with recommendations for Ruby Roth. Roth has released more books, but this is the only one we currently own and is a great books for little ones as it helps teach the ABCs, and the text is pretty short for each page. It might not be the best first book, it has a fair amount of words, and a considerable amount of pages, but makes a great edition for toddlers who notice they are eating different food from other kids.
