Getting Started as a Vegan

Sometimes jumping in with both feet isn't the best way to start something.


Fortunately or unfortunately, that's usually how I approach things, and becoming vegan was no exception.  There are downsides to going full force, and if I could do it again, I would have done some research first and started slowly.


Living Vegan for Dummies by Alexandra Jamieson lays out the pros and cons to quitting animal products cold Tofurkey, and also explains everything someone considering going vegan needs to know.  Jamieson, a vegan chef and holistic nutrition expert who was also seen in the film Super Size Me, presents the case for veganism and offers practical tips on shopping, cooking, managing restaurants, talking to friends about veganism, and so much more.  As a new vegan who hadn't done much research, I appreciated her explanations and tips, and I even made her recipe for chocolate chip banana bread (delish!).


Anyone who wants to learn more about a vegan lifestyle would do well to read this book.  Follow this link for more information.


Happy reading!
