When the newbie veghead or veg-curious asks me for cookbook recommendations, one of the first names out of my mouth is Sarah Kramer. I have her first 3 cookbooks — How It All Vegan, The Garden of Vegan, and La Dolce Vegan (the first two were done with Tanya Barnard) — and they are gloopy and stained from frequent use. I like her simple, tasty recipes, laid-back style and wit, and the fun extra non-food tidbits that are included in each book.
Sarah’s newest book is Vegan a Go-Go!: A Cookbook and Survival Manual for Vegans on the Go (Arsenal Pulp Press, 2008). It includes 150 easy-to-prepare-requiring-minimal-ingredients recipes, many of which are new (others are redesigned from previous books). The other part of the book focuses on strategies, ideas and tips for the vegan traveler, from what foods are most travel-friendly to how to say “I am vegan” in different languages. And the book is smaller, so it’s easy to grab and go.
Sarah will be at Herbivore here in Portland (1211 SE Stark Street) on Tuesday, October 7 at 6:30 pm to talk about her book and to share a few treats.
