My most recent favourite is Green Levantine Cuisine by Laith Abdel Hader. Lots of great recipes and I appreciated learning a bit about the cultural significance of each one as well. I've reviewed it on my ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/post/Green-Levantine-Cuisine-by-Laith-Abdel-Hader--Fre-P5P6KYX1I

I'm gradually building a reviews library on my vegan ko-fi. I love seeing how many books are out there!

Thanks, that looks an interesting one. I'll keep an eye out for a copy 👍

I don't think the authors I've found are particularly famous though some of them write so well that they should be!

Ibram X Kendi is vegan? I'd missed that!

Yes, I read The Jungle recently. It's pretty grim in places where it discusses conditions in the meat packing plants and the way the people employed there were living. I'm not surprised it had such an effect and possibly still does?

That's what I hoped to hear!

 

I'm a keen reader and try the include as many vegan authors as I can find in my book choices, fiction and non-fiction. Right now I'm looking forward to getting started on the new (and final) Karl Drinkwater Lost Solace novel, Finding Solace.

Beautiful! Good to see vegan sentiments from so long ago. It's not just a modern 'fad'!

This sounds like my sort of cooking! I like throw-it-together meals too. When you say 'crushed tomato' is that fresh or tinned?

Hello! I've just joined Lemmy and have no idea what I am doing, but will hopefully learn fast. (I wasn't on Reddit) I've been vegan since Veganuary 2019. I love cooking, reading and walking and I live on a narrowboat in England. Looking forward to meeting vegans here as I don't tend to meet many on the towpaths.
