My friend Lisa Montgomery of my hometown, Royersford, PA wrote a book Vegan Challenge…I consider it a spectacular guilde for anyone who wants to try vegan for a month. It is available on Amazon.
Take the opportunity to try the recipes, learn about some of the exotic ingredients, and enjoy the flavors. You can always make rice and beans, but great recipes like this are an excellent introduction to vegan cooking options.
