ed&bv visits the White House! (and, sprouter winner)!

Okay, I mentioned this on fb yesterday, but since it might be the coolest thing that has happened in my cookbook career, I must blog about it for those of you that don't know.

There's an article in the Chicago Sun-Times about veganism. It is written by Cornell McClellan, who is the fitness trainer for President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. The article talks about how some celebrities have done a disservice to the vegan diet for various reasons, including using it as a dieting tactic. McClellan writes:

You have to learn how to prepare healthy and nutritious foods, meals that are chock-full of protein and vitamins (think legumes, soy, nuts, lentils, tempeh, etc.). Check out useful and delicious cookbooks such as Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz or Eat, Drink & Be Vegan by Dreena Burton.

!!!!!, !!!!, and a little more !!!!!

Link through to read more of the article.  Isa actually sent me the link on fb, which I totally appreciated (thank you miss Isa!), because I wasn't otherwise aware of the article.

Yep, this really is the coolest bit of press I've ever had about any of my books!  And, I wonder, does President Obama munch on a Super-Charge Me! Cookie after a workout?!!  ;)

Okay, I'll move on now.  On to the winner of the sprouter... congratulations Radioactive Vegan!  Please e-mail me (dreenaburton@gmail.com) so we can coordinate the shipping.
