Hey! I've been a vegetarian for over 10 years, but have never been able to go vegan for more than a month tops :-( I bought Alicia's book yesterday in the hopes that it would encourage me to drop dairy and so far its doing a good job! :-P

hi trista! i'm the same way. i've been a vegetarian for over 6 years and my longest stint with veganism lasted 3 months. but, learning more about my food and what the definition of food really is has made a huge difference for me. alicia outlines so many necessary facts that i'm ashamed i have ignored them for so long. this time is it for me! i was so excited in the grocery store and let me tell you i always thought i couldn't cook. i didn't know what to do with anything. but these meals have turned out incredibly! i'm so surprised and thrilled. good luck to you! i know the book will bring you inspiration!

Thanx bex! Its been 3 days no dairy and I woke up this morning with clear sinuses which reminded me of how good it feels to go dairy free :-)

I have read everything I could find about plant-based diets over the past 10 years and TKD is by far the most well-rounded book I've read yet...this thread is beginning to sound like a commercial :-P
