You are truly talented and inspiring! <br />I did want to mention, however, that I'm disappointed at the inclusion of some "fat talk"-related language in the book. "good-but-bad", "sin-namon"- anything that is associating food with guilt is not healthy, and I wish you wouldn't promote that through your beautiful cookbook. Any woman who is recovering from an eating disorder (in any capacity) needs to know that food is a vehicle for health and energy to their body, not a source of guilt or shame.Anne Calistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979867445409536825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-40960202502580808372011-08-06T07:12:05.704-07:002011-08-06T07:12:05.704-07:00Popping in to thank you for your words of support....Popping in to thank you for your words of support.

When I'm making my meal plans for the week I always make something from Vive and EDBV and make an effort to try something I've not yet made from them when the ingredients are in season. This week I made your chickpea ratatouille for the first time and it was incredible!<br />Your the best Dreena!Mardouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379686121989487657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-23049240039748335262011-08-05T19:13:22.242-07:002011-08-05T19:13:22.242-07:00First of all, thank you so much for this post.

We all need help with getting dinner on the table quickly on a day to day basis; this is a great example of how to do that.<br /><br />As for the VegNews Awards, I don't understand why you weren't nominated either; however, I will tell you this. Your cookbooks are on the top of my list when people ask me about cookbooks for those transitioning to veganism, or for those who want just want a great vegan cookbook. I am well on my way to 100 vegan cookbooks, but yours is one of the few that I go to over and over again! :)Darinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037367532536150814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-29088237713856457842011-08-05T11:19:26.876-07:002011-08-05T11:19:26.876-07:00I love this post.

I read your blog religiously and I'm always making your recipes. My fingers are crossed for you for next year, and in the meantime, I'll be here every day, reading and cooking everything you publish!Nikkihttp://thetolerantvegan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-83173533381271291782011-08-04T15:46:10.871-07:002011-08-04T15:46:10.871-07:00YOU are my absolute favorite cookbook author (and ...YOU are my absolute favorite cookbook author (and I cook for all eaters).

Such a bummer, would have voted for you if you were. Your cookbooks are definitely my go-to cookbooks, particularly when I feel that I've been overindulging and want to get back to healthier, lighter fare.<br /><br />I can so relate to the pasta with veggies meal. I do this one a lot, too. If I have some Field Roast or Tofurky sausages in the house, I like to add some slices of those for an extra stick-to-your-ribs effect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-28573928619914428932011-08-04T12:12:18.662-07:002011-08-04T12:12:18.662-07:00I admit I had this image of you putting fabulous g...I admit I had this image of you putting fabulous gourmet meals on the table every evening. Which is so silly with the busy life you lead and the three active girls you have! Thank you for sharing a 'real life' recipe with us. Real life is demanding a lot of attention from me right now, so the timing is perfect.<br /><br />BTW, I wrote you in on my VegNews ballot, too. Ridiculous that you haven't been included. Your books remain my everyday, go-to standards and I recommend or give them to everyone, vegan or not.Amy Bilhorn Thomashttp://www.amybilhornthomas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-51031792523798917542011-08-04T10:53:36.843-07:002011-08-04T10:53:36.843-07:00dreena, i was looking for your name too! i was sad...dreena, i was looking for your name too! i was sad that it wasn't there :( you are my favorite vegan cookbook!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07514065308961422906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-54261614624771803502011-08-04T08:49:04.921-07:002011-08-04T08:49:04.921-07:00I make a version of this all the time!

And I always keep wine on hand just to add to my sauce and truffle oil is nice too. <br /><br />I already voted for you in the 'other' category for cookbook author on vegnews! Bummer that you weren't listed, you totally deserve to be. You know I love all your recipes and so does my non-veg family, so that is saying a lot!twealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597480713478727588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-64953098525547757352011-08-04T08:31:28.374-07:002011-08-04T08:31:28.374-07:00I don't think I've ever commented on your ...I don't think I've ever commented on your blog! I just wanted you to know that your cookbooks were some of the first I bought when I went vegan. They continue to be my favorite, most used, and most splattered with food. The ingredients are easy to find, and I don't think I've made a single thing I didn't absolutely love.<br /><br />While it stinks that you continue to be overlooked, I can say that you are most definitely appreciated, at least to this vegan and her family!Lucianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11355359330754826803noreply@blogger.com
