A well-planned four- stage educational journey, this cookbook teaches and feeds on many levels—head, hands, heart, tummy, and funny bone. There is no more powerful way to ensure a positive future for humanity and our world than teaching our children to prepare and appreciate healthy, compassionate, and creative meals and snacks.

  • It Really Brightens up Hearty Vegetables, Like Broccolini, and Something Magical Happens When It’S Combined with All That Sauteed Garlic
    And thank you for the support! A zine is about the here and now. As I am typing this we are seven months into the pandemic. The restaurant has been open for a bit, mostly for delivery. We have a little outdoor seating, in the form of a few hijacked parking spots out front. There are tables up and down the block and people don’t mind much. That’s how things are now. The city is allowing some indoor dining, but we won’t be doing that any time soon. But let’s go back a few decades for the back back story... Since the 80s, I’ve been cooking vegan food in Brooklyn as a way to bring people together. In the form of feminist potlucks or hosting brunches at any of the two dozen apartments I’ve lived in all over the borough. Feeding people in the park through volunteer organizations, or at fur-free Friday in the 90s. Even just cooking some latkes for my family at Hannukah. Really, any opportunity to serve people vegan food and I’m in. So having a vegan restaurant in Brooklyn, just a few blocks from where my grandfather grew up actually, was a natural culmination of passion, community and a sense of duty. A few years ago, when I was well into my forties, I was lucky enough to partner with Sara and Erica, whose family also has had ties to the neighborhood for decades and who also just want everyone to eat vegan. Well, great! A meal is born..

The idea of following a vegan diet for better health has been a debated topic for years. Vegan diets have been rising in popularity the past decade or so. Many movie stars and singers have joined the vegan movement. As a result, more and more research has been conducted on the benefits of a vegan diet. In this article we will look at how a vegan diet may contribute to prevention or maintenance of certain diseases such as cancer, diabetes, weight loss, gastrointestinal issues, and heart disease.

  • Vegan-Nutrition-Guide-Jan2013.Pdf
    The Vegetarian Health Institute © 2010, All Right Reserved Introduction by Trevor Justice, Director In recent years, several vegans have gone public about adding meat back to their diets. In 2009, Lierre Keith released The Vegetarian Myth. In 2010, Voracious Vegan blogger Tasha announced that she was “a vegan no more”. And in 2011, Susan Schenck released Beyond Broccoli. They all felt that eating meat was necessary to improve their health. My heart sinks when I hear stories like this. But there’s a reason vegans fail. Our medical advisor, Michael Klaper, M.D., explains it this way: Without the right game plan for meeting your nutritional needs, a plant based diet has pitfalls. That’s why some vegans develop health problems. Getting these nutrients on a plant based diet is entirely possible for most people.1 It’s what we teach. But you can’t go about it haphazardly, like my friends and I did early on. We began attending vegan conferences 16 years ago. When the speakers touted the health benefits of veganism – with little mention of the risks – we became overconfident. After all, our risk of high blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart disease was dramatically lower. So surely we were invincible, right? With this false confidence, we took our health for granted. We rolled our eyes when relatives worried about us. But eventually, some of us suffered health problems. Dr. Klaper impresses me because he doesn’t just harp on the benefits of the vegan diet. (There are many!) He also acknowledges the pitfalls. In plant foods, vitamins like B12 and D are harder to find, and nutrients like iron and Vitamin A are harder to absorb.
