Wonderful 365 Day Guide to Veganism!,
I must start out by saying that Colleen Patrick-Goudreou is one of my favorite vegan authors; her cookbooks “The Vegan Table” and “Color Me Vegan” feature some of my most-used recipes. When I saw her new book, “Vegan’s Daily Companion,” I immediately snapped it up. I was very excited that Colleen was writing another vegan book that wasn’t primarily a cookbook. How did her first non-cookbook venture turn out?
Wonderful! This is a great reference book that you can literally flip open to any page and read a passage or article. It is designed with 365 articles to be one year’s worth of daily passages, but I enjoy just reading through the book at my leisure. The articles feature some recipes, rescued animal profiles, veg-friendly literature by the likes of Mark Twain and Roald Dahl, vegan “power” food profiles, and more! There are some lovely pictures of farm animals and food throughout…as well as photos of Colleen herself.
Any cons? Well, it’s more of a minor disappointment: about half of the recipes from the book are recycled from Colleen’s previous cookbooks. There are, however, some new recipes too for those (like myself) who already own Colleen’s cookbooks.
This book has a lot of information for those curious about a vegan lifestyle, as well as long-time vegans. You can use the book throughout the year for daily readings, but it also works lovely as a bathroom companion or coffee table book. Like I said, I love that I can just flip open to any page and find a completely stand-alone article to read.
Highly recommended!

Another wonderful creation by Colleen,
I own all of Colleen’s books (in fact, her podcast was the reason I became vegan) and love all of them. They are nice to touch, to look at, to read thru, and try new recipes. I just got this latest book and started reading each entry day by day. I created a routine where I have my morning tea and read an entry from the book, which sets up a nice tone of compassion and creativity for the rest of my day.
I’ve even tried some of the recipes from the book, which are all delicisios.
I highly recommend this book.

Beautiful and Inspirational,
The thought of giving up meat, eggs and even cheese sounds to many like a life filled with deprivation. Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s latest book proves that this is not the case. The decision to become vegan, to live a life based on compassion, can be one of the most fulfilling decisions a person can make. If you are a long time vegan or someone considering giving it a try, this is a book you will want to take along on your journey.

Recipes look wonderful…,
The recipes all look wonderful…the kids might even like some of them <g>.
I did spot an issue on:
Tropical Green Blast Smoothie
***snip***
Preparation: In this particular order, put spinach, banana, mango, pineapple and orange juice in the blender.
*Blend until ingredients are mixed (this will take about 90 minutes on high speed).*

<G>…I’m sure the blend time depends on your blender…but I’m thinking she meant it would take about 90 seconds?

awesome recipes,
Very easy recipes with the benefits of ingredients included. A great mix of very green smoothies along with milder, sweeter recipes. Overall a book great for a diabetic as many recipes are a good blend of greens.
