Happy New Year!
This is a day when many people think about changes. Big changes and small changes.
This is a day when some people think about trying a vegan diet for 21-days, a month, or for a lifetime.
This is the day I decided to share a really fun new cookbook by Molly Patrick and Luanne Teah.
Bold VEGAN: Food for the Body & Soul, with a forward from Dr. Neal Barnard (and an endorsement from yours truly!), is packed with 90 recipes that will knock your socks off. The recipes are accessible, comforting and super-creative. I particularly love that each recipe has a difficulty rating of 1 through 5, i.e. the Jalapeno Lime Slaw is rated 1, the Roasted Root Veggies are 2, the Mushroom Stroganoff is 3, the French Onion Soup is 4, and the Veggie Pot Pie is 4 and 1/2. You can skim through this book and, based on how much time you want to spend in the kitchen, find just the right recipe to make.
The recipes are broken out into the following categories:
- Good Morning Sunshine! (Breakfast)
- Bowls of Goodness and Yum (Soups & Stews)
- I’m Hungry! (Main Meals)
- A Little Extra Love on the Side (Salads, Sides & Dips)
- I Need Food Now (Super Fast Snacks)
- Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera (Additional Recipes & Miscellaneous)
This colorful cookbook, with lots of photos, is great for veg-curious folks, new vegans, or longer-term vegans.

Love the name but I think what I like more is the difficulty rating – as a Mum of 3 who are 5 and under I don’t have a lot of time to make dinner most days and we like easy comfort food that is quick.
I think cilantro and chipotle!
CUMIN!
Mustard! I used to hate mustard, but it is such a versatile condiment that I have grown to love it. I take a baked mashed potato, scoop out the pulp, mash it with a fork, add in a teaspoon or less of mustard, mix and add it back to the potato. No fat, stuffed potatoes (paprika to garnish). Or, I put it in tofu scramble, added to macaroni, or I make a fat-free salad dressing with lemon juice, mustard, agave and soy sauce (or alternative of choice). May 2014 be healthy and happy for all!
Cumin, curry, garlic, cayenne

When I think of bold, in talking about vegan cuisine, for some reason I automatically think of some sort of creamy or biting condiment to spruce up a recipe. Whether it be a vegan cheese sauce, or a homemade BBQ spread, bold in my book equates to an essential addition of pizazz to an already balanced vegan meal. Just my two cents…
Being Bold is taking a chance. Being out loud.
