Over the next few days, Hurricane Irene will come charging up the East Coast. After the recent earthquake, she must have thought she’d be welcome here.
Well, she’s not. But since she has her mind made up, I wanted to remind everyone about a book I wrote (and publish through my company Vegan Heritage Press) that can help anyone through days and weeks without electrical power.
The book is Vegan Unplugged: A Pantry Cuisine Cookbook andEmergency Guide, and it’s become a treasured little book to those who use it, hurricane nor not. The book offers 80 recipes by someone who works upstairs, Robin Robertson. These amazingly delicious recipes are all made from unrefrigerated pantry ingredients, mostly using one pan, and in under 15 minutes. Make Black Bean Chili, Pan-Fired Blueberry Cobbler, Samosadillas, Quick Bean Burritos, Moroccan-Spiced Vegetable Stew, and many more. (These samosadillas are one of my favorites.):
The book also has concise checklists for emergency steps to protect your household and companion animals. It’s a lot of book in a small package.
Order online from Amazon, B&N.com, or direct from Vegan Heritage Press. It’s a great book to have on hand to get through the long wait for the power to turn back on. If you can’t get it in time for Irene, you’ll be glad you have it for the next one.
Stay safe, everyone!
Stay safe, everyone!
What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI will try to find links to some of the information to preview the book!
thanx
I found Vegan Unplugged by accident, while looking for a copy of Apocalypse Chow, which is one of my all-time favorite cookbooks. Whiled away more time trying to find out if they were the same book. (Not quite, I guess.) Ordered with great joy the new book for myself and old book for a friend.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I can settle back and wait for Irene and evacuation orders in comfort, munching on the "We're Not in Provence Anymore" salad (best survival food ever), feet propped up on the five day wine box. Bliss.
Hi Annemarie,
ReplyDeleteVegan Unplugged is a revision of Apocalypse Chow. Vegan Unplugged has several new recipes and is completely vegan, with a special section on helping our animal companions weather the storm.
Hope you are safe and glad to know you're enjoying the recipes from Vegan Unplugged.
