Our good friend, fellow traveler, cooking master, vegan feeder, and overall nice guy Justin at The Lotus and The Artichoke has a brand new cookbook coming out.
While he busted his backside on it and got a Kickstarter project fully funded, he’s mere dollars away from reaching its highest goal, which will see new rewards and a German translation of the entire cookbook.
There’s just over 24 hours to go. And if you haven’t supported the project yet, we strongly suggest you do that. Right now. Fancy rewards, delicious treats, and a sense of accomplishment.
And you know I’m not bullshitting here, because I could literally spray myself down with bacon fat and roll in a pile of ham hocks, all while chowing down on the finest of mixed meat platters. (Don’t visualize that.)
And here I am – here we are – supporting a vegan cookbook. So you know darn well that it’s good. 24 hours to go. Do it.
We support fantastic and worthy projects. Click here to get in on the fun.
I put my money on the line :) I may not be vegan, but some of those photos Justin’s been putting out are just too much to pass up.
NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM.
Yessir. Plus, nothing says you can’t replace *insert vegan filler here* with delicious dead animal carcass! Seriously though, he makes proper vegan/veggie dishes and the pictures are hella drool-worthy. I hunger for the meats, yet I am still always down to throw some properly cooked vegan foods into my gullet.
Hahaha… you 3 are hilarious. I’m loving all the support and appreciation I’m getting from people without the literal/labelled dietary restrictions, attitudes, and idealism.
I stand by my open-minded viewpoint that increasing widespread appreciation of veggie food in less than absolutist terms and expectations is ultimately equally or more effective for long range goals to positively affect health, environment, other creatures.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m positively astounded and proud of the veg/an crowd support and following I’ve got, but ironically at least half of the really intense encouragement for this project is coming from people who’d sooner wrap up in bacon and roll around with ham hocks than order a soy latte or tofu burger!
It’s what we do! I do think it’s important for both meat eaters and veggies to not be snobbish or hateful about each other’s diets. If you don’t want to eat meat, that’s fine by me. Just don’t try to convert me. (Funny enough, I have the same views on religion.) That’s the biggest problem I have with people who don’t share the same [insert belief here]: Debasing people, preaching to people, etc., is never going to help a cause, and will only serve to make people dislike or disrespect said cause.
But, I’m more than happy to scarf down veggie delights! None of my veggie friends – and I happen to have quite a lot of them in many countries – have ever given me shit about eating meat, nor have they ever tried to change me. And I really appreciate that. Of course, I do occasionally give my veg friends a hard time, but it’s all out of love!
