I’ve mentioned Compassionate Cooks several times on this blog. 

Compassionate Cooks is an organization founded by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. Their mission is to empower people to make informed food choices, and to debunk myths about vegetarianism and animal rights. I listen to Colleen’s podcasts regularly, and I love love love her cookbooks The Joy of Vegan Baking and The Vegan Table.

You might say I’m a huge fan! I really admire the work she has done. Her website is chock full of information, as are her podcasts. And whether you are vegetarian, vegan, or omnivore I’m sure you would find many recipes to love in her books and on her website. The Compassionate Cooks’ website also offers recipes in packets of five based on certain themes such as “Thanksgiving,”"Afternoon Tea,” and “High Flavor, Low Calorie,” to name a few.

So….I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to give away a set of Compassionate Cooks’ recipes called “Hearty Italian!”

From the website: These filling dishes will satisfy anyone who thinks eating vegan means eating like a rabbit! These delicious recipes are perfect comfort food. Each recipe includes serving suggestions and variations of the recipe, as well as explanations of ingredients that might be unfamiliar.

And…these are all NEW recipes that will be in Colleen’s third cookbook!
