Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 Hi there Nikki, I recently joined Vegan Chat and like you am new to being a vegan. I became a vegetarian in 1994, and in June of this year decided to go vegan (wish I had done it earlier) oh well!! I have like you been bombarded with questions and comments. I get asked often " what do you eat apart from nuts!! " I have found there is a lot to eat. It is a new journey in life it seems to me, and it feels so rewarding and complete. I am still doing lots of reading on veganism and have found a good book in the library called " The Realeat Encyclopedia of Vegetarian Living by Peter Cox " . Unfortunately it is now out of print. So I am trying to search out a copy somewhere. It's a good road to be on isn't it Nikki! Geraldine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 Hi Geraldine! My two favorite books, the first came higly recommended and I see why, is The Food Revolution by John Robbins and The Vegan Sourcebook by Joanne Stepaniak. Both have been extremely helpful and full of resources. Will see if I can find the book anywhere online fer ya. Have ya tried ebay? If all else fails, try the library. You may not be able to keep it, but at least you can have it from time to time. and yes, it is definately a wonderful road! Only sorry I did not open my eyes sooner! Take care, nikki , " cav2was7 " <geraldine.mccarthy@n...> wrote: > Hi there Nikki, > I recently joined Vegan Chat and like you am new to being a vegan.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Hi Nikki, The two books you mention sound really good books. Looks like more books to search for!! lol. Like you Nikki I wish I had opened my eyes earlier to veganism. Still we are both here now - better late than never, as the saying goes. I received my Vegan Shopper today in the post from the Vegan Society. I am trying to get as much information as possible to help myself along.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Good Morning! John Robbins book was astounding! And it is written with objectives in mind as well which quite impressed me. Because i on the other hand would have come across much harsher! But I cannot take credit for ze book as Monsieur Fraggle turned me on to it! It also has a lot of great resources for more info in it as well. The Vegan Sourcebook i found at the library while looking for this one. The library is my home away from home whenever in need of info. This way I can preview a book before I sink me hard earned cash into it and not worry. But both of Robbins books are definately on my b-day list! And I couldn't agree with you more! Better than late than never! I too am searching out everything I can right now to find out what I need to know. I have even started a recipe cd to make sure i dont forget all the great stuff I find on all the websites adn all the stuff people send me. I figure the more info I have the better to make my decisions and plan ahead. If I can help ya in anyway, let me know! But I warn ya, I don't know much myself yet. Just the basics and my beliefs. So, on another note, where's everyone from? nikki , " cav2was7 " <geraldine.mccarthy@n...> wrote: > Hi Nikki, > > The two books you mention sound really good books.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Good Morning Geraldine! Not a problem! Sunshine on the way. Hope you don't mind but I also included the high of 98 degrees and some of the horrible humidity as well! It's a package deal! Actually our weather has been off and on between beautifully sunny and then gray and rainy. But, both are wonderful fer the garden, so I really can't complain too much!
