My holiday gift from my daughter this year was a cook book called Vegan with a Vengeance. I have been shifting towards a vegetarian diet and my daughter knew I wanted this book. Anywho, surprise surprise there is an endorsement on the back cover from Joan Jett. I don't remember the exact quote but it is something like "I have this book on my kitchen shelf; and it's a book for people like me who don't eat their pets." Anyhow, thought this was cool. Anybody else know about this book?

I heard about the book on the Bad Reputation Nation website. joanjettbadrep.com/cgi-bin/newsArchive.cgi?archive=200602An interesting tidbit is the writer of the cookbook interviewed Joan for the Herbivore magazine interview. Joan had an open-mouth-insert-foot situation where she forgot she was talking to the author of the cookbook and asked her if she cooks. Duh! We all do and say silly things. |

OMG, I would have loved to have read that intereview. So far so good with the cookbook, only you need to stock up on some things you might not normally have around the house. But after that it's great!

After having this book for awhile now I have to say I am not very fond the vegan diet but love a vegetarian diet. There is far too much soy in the vegan diet for me. It's really hard to get excited about tempeh bacon and other recipes that are heavily laden with soy and are just plain unpalatable. It is a fun book though because the author has a television show called Punk Rock Kitchen or something like that so you can relate to it and the way it's written with tips from her cat Fizzle is a bit humorous. Mostly at this point I'm using the book for ideas on vegetarian recipes and only doing the vegan stuff that is not all soy. BTW, don't try this diet if you are looking to lose weight, lol.
