Looking for books...........

[Guest guest]

I REALLY, REALLY need books on the subjects of veganism and raw

diets. I am looking for cookbooks, books for raising vegan kids, and

books on the other aspects of veganism such as why milk is not

healthy and other health or ethical issues. PLEASE if you have any of

these books, let me know immediately!!! Thanks! Marilyn

Hey, thanks, Darlene!!! Looking forward to it. BTW, I subscribed to that

magazine last year, and just can't afford magazines this year. But it IS great!

Marilyn,

We have many books on living Milk-free as my son is allergic to the casein

in milk (the milk protein). I will look when I go home tonight and send you

a list of books and titles. One that I can think of off-hand is a magazine

called " Living Without " . An excellent magazine for people who are on

restricted diets - Either Casein free or Gluten free or Wheat-free. The web

site is http://www.livingwithout.com/. I have not looked into complete

veganism as my son is so picky - the only thing he would eat on a vegan diet

is tomatoes :-) I will email you tomorrow with our library.

Marilyn,

Here are the books we have on Special Diets:

The Milk Free Kitchen by Beth Kidder

Special Diets for Special Kids - Volumes 1 & 2 By

Feast without Yeast - I forgot to write down the author :-(

Also there is a wonderful website http://www.kinnikinnick.com/ that has many

special diet foods - it is very difficult to find dairy-free wheat free

breads in a local supermarket.

Here is a favorite Cookie recipe that I have modified to be dairy free - it

is also Vegan. Do not use soymilk in this recipe it does not work - I have

tried twice but the club soda does substitute for milk in many recipes very

well.

2 3/4 cups of Quaker 1 minute oats

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

------

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup cocoa

1/2 cup club soda (originally called for milk)

dash of salt

1/2 cup Crisco (originally called for butter)

Prepare the first 3 ingredients to be ready.

Put tin foil on 3 cookie sheets or just get tin foil ready to be used.

Put out a trivet next to the cookie sheets.

Put the last five ingredients in a medium/large sauce pan. Over medium-high

heat bring to a full boil stirring often. Let boil for a full minute

stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and put on trivet.

Add the vanilla & peanut butter - stir well. Fold in the oats.

Working quickly - drop by teaspoonfuls or half teaspoonfuls onto tin foil.

They will harden quickly.

Depending on the size of the cookie can make either 3 dozen or 6 dozen.

Hope this helps,

Darlene
