This looks great! The plum/ginger sorbets sounds wonderful. I'm so happy to have a feast of great vegan books now and hopefully, this trend will continue. I don't see anything wrong with tofu, seitan or soy/nut milks, which have as much as a place in a varied vegan diet as vegetables, grains and other legumes.

This is such useful info! I love that it works for a crowd, or iced coffee or quick coffee on weekday mornings, all without any special coffee makers--great stuff.

Minimalist for sure. A lot of 'stuff' feels suffocating to me. I think you can introduce coziness by introducing natural textures and handmade things--minimal doesn't have to feel cold.

Recipe: Fruit Crumble with Oats & Dates (Gluten-Free, Nut-Free & Vegan!) Recipes from The Kitchn

I have only lived in one apartment with a dishwasher, and it came in handy after big parties and on holidays. Currently I don't have one and I'm content to clean as I go and wash by hand. It's just one of those chores that I do on auto-pilot (music helps). I would much rather have my own washer/dryer. For that, I'd do my dishes and yours by hand all day long.

The small footprint makes this very appealing. I wonder how it makes soymilk? Does it just puree the beans and then you still have to cook it?

I love books like this, love them. How I wish someone would give vegan baking this kind of professional treatment.

@Carrotsticks, I indicated my distaste for this in a previous comment. I'm vegan, and I get what you're saying.-- Meat eaters don't really connect that they're actually eating animals, I guess, and this is too much a hit of 'hey, dead animal here' for them. It is baffling.

Oh dear, I might have nightmares about that. It's vile; I agree that it looks like roadkill--on a table, where food is eaten, gah.

This room is just gorgeous and so cheerful. If this was my room, I would never leave my bed.

Excellent idea, and grinding it yourself means everything is much fresher. And I'm thrilled that it's vegan.

I had not heard of this tip before; I may try it it next time I make hummus. I use the Cook's Illustrated tip to blend the chickpeas very well first before adding anything else--I've been pretty happy with that.
