Ripe from Around Here: A Vegan Guide to Local and Sustainable Eating (No Matter Where You Live) by Jae Steele

[Surrender Dorothy]

Has anyone read and/or cooked out of this yet? So far I've only made the anything goes veg broth. I liked it because vegetable broth recipes always used to scare me calling for specifics, but this just called for anything that was on hand. I plan to make more out of it, though the recipes sometimes call for pricey ingredients such as maple syrup and coconut oil.

No, we've got Get It Ripe: A Fresh Take on Vegan Cooking and Living on our shelves, but not this one.

Dorothy, I'm thinking I should add this one (Ripe from Around Here: A Vegan Guide to Local and Sustainable Eating) too because its description says it has recipes, and you're indicating that too. Onto our shelves it goes. Thanks for alerting the group to it!

I haven't seen the book so I'd love to hear more about it from you and any other members who've got a copy or have seen a copy. Thanks!

Dorothy, You've used the book. Should it go on our "_not-cookbooks-but-vegan-recipes" or do you consider this a cookbook? Thanks for any guidance about this.

Lisa, I own Get It Ripe: A Fresh Take on Vegan Cooking and Living and it definitely has lots of recipes. I haven't read it yet though.

Lee, Thanks! We did already have that book on our shelves. It's the newer book I wasn't sure of, but I added it as a cookbook:

Ripe from Around Here: A Vegan Guide to Local and Sustainable Eating, also by Jae Steele.

It's a cookbook. Only about a quarter of the book is dedicated to reasons, tips ect of eating locally. The rest of the book is full of recipes,and from looking at the pictures delicious ones.

Thanks very much, Dorothy. It's on our shelves as a cookbook. Both her books look great.

Sounds like a book my husband might be interested in. Thanks for the post!
