Vegan WrestleMania XXX Menu
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Full disclosure: I’m not watching WrestleMania this year. Long-time Bake and Destroy readers probably get it – but for anyone who is new to the site, CM Punk is a dear friend of mine. For that reason, and also because I would rather watch my dog eat a used tampon than pay money to see the shitshow that is Randy Orton vs Batista, I am not watching. Am I stoked that Daniel Bryan could be in the main event? Uh, kinda. Daniel Bryan rules, don’t get me wrong… under differen...

Blog Tour: Rawsome Vegan Baking – Raw Chocolate Cookies Sandwiching Vanilla Cashew Cream
From BakeandDestroy.net:
I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of Emily von Euw’s book Rawsome Vegan Baking: An Un-cookbook for Raw, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Beautiful and Sinfully Sweet Cookies, Cakes, Bars and Cupcakes earlier this week and my mouth has been watering ever since! As someone who needed a team of food stylists, photographers and illustrators (OK, or maybe one of each) to make my book look snazzy I’m mega impressed that Em shot all of her own photography – the photos are stu...

The New Chicago Diner Cookbook Review & Recipe
From BakeandDestroy.net:
The author as a young pancake-eater.
When I was a kid, my grandparents would take me to IHOP just about every weekend. My grandma and I would switch up what we ordered depending on our moods, but my grandpa always ordered the Rooty Tooty Fresh n’ Fruity. Only, he wouldn’t actually speak that humiliating string of words to the waitress. Rather, he would point to it on the menu, flatly stating, “I’ll have this.” Once in a while if he was being silly he’d pay me $1 to orde...
