Vegan Chef Colleen Patrick-Goudreau at San Francisco book signing August 26

[Guest guest]

Even if you were the last human omnivore stronghold on the planet, Colleen

Patrick-Goudreau could shake your resolve and swing you sweetly into a vegan

diet.

 

A gifted cook and talented speaker, Ms. Patrick-Goudreau has just published her

3rd book, The Vegan Table: 200 Recipes to enjoy the upcoming Harvest Season.

 

Find out for yourself on Wednesday, August 26, when she will be signing copies

at the Books, Inc. bookstore on Market Street in San Francisco.

 

 

 

What makes your new cookbook so unique? On one hand it is just a fantastic

cookbook filled with familiar and delicious recipes. It's designed for

entertaining, but it is also filled with everyday recipes that can also be used

for holidays and dinner parties.

 

Why is going vegan important in today's world? Whether you are concerned about

your health, centering your diet on whole plant foods can prevent many diseases

such as diabetes, stroke and some cancers. It's also for the environment. A

United Nations report concluded that the No. 1 cause of global warming is a

meat-centered diet, which is a very important thing to know for those who want

to be green.

About the author

 

Raised on a typical American diet of meat, dairy, and eggs, Colleen

Patrick-Goudreau was shocked by what she learned when she read John Robbins'

Diet for a New America at 19. No longer able to justify eating animals, Colleen

began a journey of discovery that continues to this day. Determined to raise

awareness about animal suffering, she founded Compassionate Cooks to be a voice

for the over 45 billion land and sea animals killed every year in the U.S. for

human consumption. Her work is dedicated to them.

 

Lots more about Colleen at her website Compassionate Cook. There, you can also

see a video demonstration of one of her favorite recipes from the new collection

in The Vegan Table, garlic and green soup.
