Dreena Burton, the author of amazing cookbooks Vive Le Vegan, Eat Drink & Be Vegan, and The Everyday Vegan (featuring simple, delish and healthy veg recipes) has joined True/Slant to write more about her family’s food choices. I really liked her first post, quote:
Yes, unfortunately our family’s plant-based diet is far from the norm. While [...]
Maybe you have heard about the new animated comedy featured on ABC in the US about a family of ‘do-gooders’ - vegans and environmentalists who live in a solar-powered, rain-water collecting home with their (evidently starved) vegan dog and adopted son. Here’s one of the promos:
Joshua Catcher of the Discerning Brute had some strong [...]
I am learning lots about feminism this term in school (verging into topics that include: queer studies, sexuality, gender, feminist media studies), and the experience reminds me again why I love learning. My perspective on the world is changing as I begin to look more critically at media from a scholarly feminist angle, and [...]
I really overdid it this year on cooking and baking - next year, I vow to simplify. At any rate, most things were very successful. Christmas was a blast.
First, I hosted a pre-Christmas lunch for the family. I chose to make a three course meal, and made everything gluten-free (by using brown rice flour) since [...]
Sorry, won’t be posting too often in the next little while. SO much reading to do. Reading that I should have done yesterday. Before I was even born! Fantastic books exist that tantalize me with their awesomeness. Just finished Too Loud a Solitude by Hrabal, which was one of the best books I have read [...]
Posts have been scarce lately what with my camera lens being broken, settling into my new apartment, and beginning graduate school after having taken a year off. I can feel my brain getting into gear again (all of that dust being blown off from the areas that weren’t being used for travelling and working) and [...]
Maybe it was because of the cloudy sky that makes colours pop and photographing a dream, but Prague immediately struck me as a really beautiful city. Being in Prague hardly gives me the ability to make many observations about the Czech Republic (or rather, I am at a loss as to what to gage from [...]
I had a total blast in Austria, and as I expected came to find the ultimate in vegan friendliness - its name is Vienna. Immediately upon entering Austria I noticed the increase of health consciousness: fruit, smoothies and juices available for purchase, falafel places at the train station itself. In other news, [...]
Budapest was a striking contrast to everything that was Sarajevo. Brilliantly clean, wide boulevards, spotless metro, pristine neighbourhoods, availability of vegetarian food. I have to admit it was a bit of a relief. I really enjoyed Sarajevo, but I realized in Budapest that I had felt unease there… uncomfortable seeing all of [...]
While mystery surrounded Bosnia from the beginning of planning my journey (which may have something to do with the fact that my guidebook covers Western, not Central Europe), as I rode the bus from Croatia into my first stop, Mostar, I could see immediately that Bosnia would be a fascinating part of my trip.
