About Ellen Kanner…(extract from Seed’s talent bio)
Ellen Kanner is the author of Feeding the Hungry Ghost: Life, Faith and What to Eat for Dinner, VegNews’ 2013 Book of the Year, PETA’s debut Book of the Month Club pick, Huffington Post’s Meatless Monday blogger, syndicated columnist Edgy Veggie which appears in Miami Herald, and vegan writer for numerous publications. She runs the personal food consulting service Veg Therapy. An ardent advocate for sustainable, accessible food, Ellen serves on Miami boards of Slow Food and Common Threads. Find out more about Ellen here.
So many things in Ellen’s book reflect my philosophy of cooking with what you have and my visual roadmap approach to cooking! I love your humor and laid back attitude towards vegan cooking. I especially liked, “Sometimes while you’re following a recipe on the road to dinner, you find side paths, back roads that beckon and lead you to new places. Feel free to try a different vegetable, another herb…Go, explore. Strike out on your own. Honor yourself and your own taste. Trust your gut.” Amen.
