I’ve become a pretty big fan of the Minimalist Baker blog. So far, not a single one of her vegan recipes has been a dud.
I thought I hated tomato soup. And then I met Tal Ronnen’s Tomato Bisque, from his beautiful cookbook The Conscious Cook.
An easy, delicious, and fast dinner from the Minimalist Baker website will leave the whole family satisfied.
A fast and family-friendly recipe that will have you wanting more.
No one even seems to notice that we eat less meat because it’s become a healthy habit, for our bodies and our spirits.
Here’s what’ll be on our table this year. Try one, a few, or all! And be sure to leave us your favorite vegan recipe in the comments.
We have recruited the University of Winchester as the first CreatureKind institution. That means that the University is committed to an annual cycle of setting targets to reduce its consumption of animal products and moving to sourcing them from higher welfare sources, and to engage the University community in the changes it is making.

Today, the University of Winchester became the first institution internationally to sign the CreatureKind Commitment, meaning that they have pledged to: 1) reduce their purchase of animal products; 2) source meat, dairy, and eggs from higher welfare farms for its catering operations on campus; and 3) educate the campus community about why they decided to make these important changes.
