Vegan News You Can Use (3/8/15)

Hello from Portland! I arrived late Friday night from LA, where in a short 24-hours I was able to sample and see a variety of interesting vegan products and run into lots of friends, like Miyoko, at Expo West.

Follow me on Instagram!

I’m in Portland, OR for two events. Yesterday I taught a Vegan Pressure Cooking 101 class at Herbivore Clothing Co.

Fueled by lots of coffee! I had such a blast with a really great crowd! I also spent some time with Grant Butler, food writer for The Oregonian.

We made my Soy Curl Mac ‘n Cheese from the book.

Later today I’m teaching a pressure cooking class at Chuck’s Produce (if you’re in Vancouver, WA, give the store a call and join me; details here). And speaking of pressure cooking, you can still enter to win a signed copy of Vegan Pressure Cooking. Read how in my March newsletter (and subscribe here).

And now, the news!
