Our guest this weekend, Jackie, is transitioning to veganism. The texture apparently is "slimy" (which is true, mid-cook, which it wasn't when she tried it.

People who have eaten meat and dairy products their entire lives, often simply can't imagine what vegans eat.

At the very least, I can keep informed about the activities that are being chosen and always send a letter or comment at the meeting from the vegan perspective.

They all have some sort of holiday list, money is tight, and if they could buy just one cookbook to help them in their conversion to veganism from their current omnivorous state, what should it be and why. The why part is important, as some cookbooks are a bit junk food vegan-ish.
