BOOK: The 40-Year-Old Vegan + giveaway

September 27, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman 12 Comments

In the last year, I have cut out red meat from my diet — except when I am working — and have adopted a heavier plant-based menu to our meals at home. Therefore, The 40–Year–Old Vegan Cookbook was especially interesting to me.
After battling multiple health issues, 57-year–old Sandra Sellani switched to a vegetarian diet at age 25, and went vegan at 50. She co-authored the vegan cookbook with her twin sister Susan, The 40–Year–Old Vegan: 75 Recipes to Make You Leaner, Cleaner and Greener in the Second Half of Life which features vegan versions of their family’s Italian comfort-food recipes, easy steps to going vegan and stories from fellow vegans.
The first portion of the book reads like a novel more than a cookbook. The recipes begin at Chapter 8 with “Breakfast” moving into Chapter 9 with “Sandwiches, Sides & Spreads” — I especially loved the recipe for Artichoke Spinach Dip Appetizer. However, more than the last two chapters, Chapter 10 “Soups & Stews” is the one I am most enamored by as these are what I tend to gravitate towards as we move into the cooler months. I love the cleaner recipes for Italian Wedding Soup, and the Thai Coconut Soup with Lime & Cilantro.
There are chapters on salads, entrees, and desserts. Check out the Lentil Shepherd’s Pie on page 234!
For more information, please visit The 40-Year-Old Vegan website.
This week, I have a copy of the book to giveaway. Please leave a comment for your chance to WIN a copy of The 40-Year-Old Vegan Cookbook. Entries close on Friday, October 6th, 2017.

    You can always tell who is cooking in my house by the reaction of my dog. She gets tail-wagging excited when I am the chef because it could mean anything from turkey burgers to pulled pork to grilled chicken….but when my wife is at the stove, the pooch will stay in her bed. She knows nothing with a mother is on the menu.

    My wife recently turned to a plant based diet and I would love to present her with a copy of this book!

About Me

This blog is a journal of mostly my eating adventures, but also, other things I'm passionate about, including travel, the arts, and also, necessities to complete my life. Centered predominantly in and around Orange County, CA, some will extend to Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond. I am constantly searching for delicious food to eat and fun things to do, nothing is out of bounds. Sometimes it doesn't end well, but I can definitely say, it will always be an interesting journey.
