Vegan Recipes in Mainstream Media

A scan of internet-ish media today dredged up a handful of interesting-sounding vegan recipes.

The first was in a Killeen Daily Herald article on Julie Rodwell's book The Complete Book of Raw Food: Healthy, Delicious Vegetarian Cuisine Made With Living Food, whose second edition came out just last year. The article features her recipes for Sunflower Paté and Spring Rolls.

Last week, the New York Times' "Dining & Wine" section had a recipe for Spinach Salad w/ Mushrooms and Hibiscus Flower Vinaigrette that sounds really intriguing, although unless you grow them yourself, you'd likely be hard-pressed to find edible hibiscus flowers anywhere convenient. There's information on where you can order them online in the piece.

The Columbia Daily Tribune's site featured a story on Terry Bryant's recently published Vegan Soul Kitchen. It includes recipes for Citrus Collards w/ Raisins Redux and Agave-Sweetened Orange-Orange Pekoe Tea. (See his recipes for Vegan Succotash Soup and Garlicky Corn Bread Croutons and a BBQ Tempeh Sandwich and Carrot-Cayenne Coleslaw I'd mentioned in blog posts last month -- he's really promoting the hell out of his book.)

I stumbled across another piece today that mentions Bryant Terry and his book Vegan Soul Kitchen. This one offered up his recipes for "Vegan Succotash Soup" and "Garlicky Corn Bread Croutons".

Mississippi's Clarion-Ledger's website has a feature today on Susan Voisin (aka SusanV), creator of the FatFree Vegan website. In it, Voisin discusses how she came to set up her site -- a definite favourite amongst vegan foodies across the internet. A recipe for "Quinoa, Asparagus, Mushrooms and Chickpeas" is included. Mention is also made at the end of the piece of a forthcoming book in 2010.

Seacoast Online's Rachel Forrest has a really informative piece that highlights the origins, versatility and health benefits of agave nectar (or agave syrup) today. It's not written from a vegan perspective, by any stretch, but it's great nonetheless to see it being discussed in mainstream media. She's included recipes for an "Asian Vinaigrette", as well as a "BBQ Sauce".
