I would like to win a free copy of her book because I’m a broke culinary student and I’d love to learn to make some awesome Vegan dishs.

I am a vegetarian who has been trying to eat more vegan just to do the healthiest thing for my body but I sometimes struggle to eat as much variety as I’d like. I’m also a college student, so it’d be helpful to have a little guidance so I can make delicious home-style cooked meals while away from home!!!

While I have been cooking my whole life, I am new to the world of vegetarian cooking. I have recently made the switch after losing 50 lbs and deciding to treat my body and the world around me a little nicer.
October 19th, 2009 at 3:38 am
As a long time junkfood-arian, working hard to be a healthy vegetarian, I’m always on the look out for good tasting recipes. I saw Alicia on The View and would love to try the dishes in her book.

I became a vegetarian almost 2 years ago when I gave up meat for Lent and I just could not go back. I’m ready to go to the next level and be a Vegan. I love Alicia Silverstone and if she can do it so can I. I would love to have her cookbook to help me make that transition.
October 19th, 2009 at 8:04 am
As a vegan “newbie,” I’d like to read the book to have more information to enlighten my non-veg friends with…and perhaps inspire them to go veg too!
October 19th, 2009 at 9:36 am
I would love to have this book. I have been a vegetarian for several years now but I am still very much overweight. Starting to learn that it takes more then just being a vegetarian to be fully healthy, and I believe this book could get me on the right path.
October 19th, 2009 at 11:00 am
I’m a cookbook virgin and I would love for this book to be my first. I’m a vegan and I usually just freestyle meal ideas. Since I’m a new mom, I need some structure in my cooking, I would love to have to this book.
October 19th, 2009 at 11:43 am
oh my – I would love to win a copy of The Kind Diet – I am slowly trying to incorporate more vegan foods into my diet, and I would love some more inspiration and recipes to try!
October 19th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
The Kind Diet looks like a great book. I’ve been a vegetarian for 20 years, but have not made a successful transition to veganism yet. I’ve had a lot of health problems this year and think a better diet can help with my recovery. I also love animals and want to do more to help them and the environment. Thanks for offering this great giveaway!
October 19th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
In solidarity with my 10 year old daughter I quit dairy. Now my two other daughters are leaning into the idea. This book could boost all of our momentum and we all loved the movie Clueless.
October 19th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
I would love a copy of Alicia’s new book because it is always great to get new perspectives on healthy living and a healthy diet. Plus, what could be better than all those delicious sounding recipes this coming winter?
October 19th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
I would love to win this book because I’m a relatively new vegan who is trying to expand her arsenal of veg-friendly recipes (especially desserts!).
October 19th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
I’ve been a fan of Alicia’s on-screen work and animal activism for years, so I’m so excited to finally get a chance to read her book.
October 19th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I am not a vegan, but do have occasion to entertain for friends who are, and am left baffled as to what dishes tot have on hand for them that everyone would enjoy and not think of as the “vegan” dish.
October 20th, 2009 at 12:07 am
I recently graduated out of college and became a vegan, and now I’m trying to update my cooking skills from simple stir fries to more “grown up” food. What better way to start off officially being vegan but by eating kind, healthy and delicious food?
I love that Alicia stresses that her food is not just good vegan food, it’s good food in general. I’d love to do as Isa Chandra Moskowitz says and become a baketivist (and cooktivist) so that my family and friends can realize that vegan food is not only humane and kind, but is oh so delicious (not to mention easy to prepare – if I can do it, anyone can. Seriously!)
Eating food cooked from this book is not only kind to animals and the planet, but it’s also kind to my self. I look forward to throwing down vegan style!

As a diabetic, my cholesterol, blood pressure (salt intake) as well as sugar levels require close monitoring. I do not care for meat. I guess that means I’ve been a natural vegetarian for the past 65 years. I am always looking for new and better recipes adaptable to my dietary needs. I was greatly impessed by Alicia Silverstone’s recent appearance on The View and would love her new book.
October 20th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Hi there,
I’ve been vegan for 3 years now and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Alicia has been one of my inspirations for quite some time and when I heard she was finally coming out with a book I became completely and utterly excited. I’ve changed my life because a great many people like her were able to bring this not so “new” idea of veganism and vegetarianism to the limelight. I come from a family full of carnivores/omnivores and am the only vegan in the bunch! She is one of the most wonderful people I look up to in the world, and I would be so entirely grateful if I won this book to add to my currently somewhat creative gourmet ideas. I don’t know how many people have done this, but I was able to lose some thirty, yes, thirty!–pounds that I so hated, just by getting rid of the dead being/milk diet. I’m doing more for myself and my family, and the people I meet, to also open their eyes to the possibility of not eating meat at all, or at least eating less, and although I did this for the earthlings in the beginning, I’ve also continued this great movement of veganism, for the life that we’ve all been so wonderfully provided. Thank you.
October 20th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I’d love this book because I can’t have enough vegan cookbooks! I love reading everyone’s different philosophies and seeing how recipes vary. Alicia’s book really sounds like it concentrates on the natural side of things, instead of junk food veganism, which still seems like it’s not as talked about as it should be. Junk food is junk food.
I’d buy it myself (which I’ll probably have to if I don’t win), but I’m a poor college student, so I actually don’t own too many cookbooks anyways.
Thanks for having the giveaway!
October 20th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
I would love a copy to give to my mom!
October 20th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
I’m a pescetarian and my wife is a vegan. Well except for the fish part, the rest of me is vegan too. My wife usually does the cooking during the week and she is always struggling with new recipes. There are so many vegan recipe books out there that include ingredients you can’t find locally or easily.
From what I’ve seen of the Kind Diet there is a wide variety of dishes that seem easy and quick to make. I look forward to that.
October 20th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Hi! I’m a newbie vegan cook and would love to add to my currently one vegan cookbook “collection”. Thank you!
October 20th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Alicia is the first mainstream vegan I ever heard about. I remember watching a talk show several years ago and she was talking about her diet. I was baffled how anyone could survive without dairy. I have come a long way from that belief and my journey as a vegan is still in progress. I would really like to win this book as every day is a new opportunity to learn more about this kind life we are trying to live.
Thanks for the giveaway!
October 20th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
I’m transitioning and always looking for recipes. She’s been at this a long time, and I’d love to learn more from her perspective.
October 20th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
In order be in harmony with my environment and source, my intent is to become vegetarian and possibly vegan. Receiving a copy of this book will help me with that. I would be grateful to receive it, and I can already see myself making these recipes and sharing them with family and coworkers so they can experience the kindness also!
Thank you!
October 20th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Life-long vegetarian and can’t wait to read this book. I was hoping I could get it as a download for my iPhone but have been unsuccessful!
October 20th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Hello!! :~)
I saw you on rachael ray today and you look AWESOME! I was very impressed with your dedication to a healthy lifestlye. I have a lot to learn from you, I am a 24 year old female who lives alone and pretty much on beer and cheap carbs! Haha lots of potatoes and noodles for me!! I never really thought about the fact that I am giving my body almost no nutrients, and I know I need to get healthy!! I look forward to enjoying your book and all of your delicious and healthy recipes! xoxoxox ;~)

Well, no sob story here but I’ve been hearing a lot about this book online all over the place. I believe that it would be a great book for me to use both for myself, and to encourage my mom to reevaluate her diet.
October 20th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
I would love a copy of this book. I’m vegetarian and a longtime fan of Ms. Silverstone’s and would love to own this book!
October 20th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
I love Alicia Silverstone! She is such an inspiration to me. November 1st is my one year anniversary of making the switch from vegetarian to vegan and I would love to celebrate it by making many of the recipes in this amazing book!
October 20th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
I would really like to win a copy of this book because Alicia not only offers great recipes but background information on topics like saving the planet which I’d appreciate to find out more about.
October 20th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
I can’t wait to get my hands on this book. If I can’t win it, it will definitely be on my holiday wish list
October 20th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
I am Vegan, and I Love Alicia!!!! Just watched her on Rachel Ray today!!! I would Love to read the sections of the book on Macrobiotics!!! Also saw her Eco-make up line on there (although, being a straight Male I can’t use them, but still awesome!) I have been out of work for quite sometime, and spend most of my time blogging/writing for animals! I would Love to win a Free copy of this Great New Book and cook my Vegan Wife a New Vegan Dinner (To pay her back for All that she has done for me i.e.- paying all our bills, etc.) Thank you so much and Keep up the Good Work!

My husband is a new vegan and I NEED recipes to make for him! I have been watching Alicia on many talk shows and I know that this cookbook would be awesome!
October 20th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Like Julie did with Julia Child’s cookbook, I’d like to “cook through” this cookbook and blog about it. I have started a blog to cook through Patricia Wells’ Vegetable Harvest. Once that is completed, I will cook through The Kind Diet and blog about it if I win the book.
Thanks

Hi! I was just reading an article on Alicia the other day in my Woman’s Health magazine-she really is such an inspiration to women everywhere. She really strives to provide people with the knowledge and inspiration of what it means to be vegan and an animal activist! I think it is important for people to have something to strive for (especially with the current economic circumstances)and would love the opportunity to own a copy of her cookbook to help carry on that same knowledge and inspiration to other people!
October 20th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
I’d like to win because I have heard so many good things about this book. I’d tried to check it out at the local library, and am 12th in line, but that means I could be waiting at least 36 months to read it if everyone keeps it for their allotted time! Thank you for this giveaway!
October 21st, 2009 at 1:25 am
I’d love to win a copy of this book to read about Alicia’s philosophy.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:09 am
All too often people who are non-vegans ask, “Well what do you eat??” If only they knew. I am not a vegan myself but I definitely want to gravitate toward it. I have used a number of vegan recipes and I find that I love the food. I would love to win this because I think that it would be a great addition to my life and lifestyle choices. Great giveaway!!!
October 21st, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Howdy… I would love (not like) to win, so that I can try out her tasty recipes, and bring them to work so my meateater coworkers will be inspired. Plus rent is due next week, so I can’t afford to purchase it for a few wks at least.
October 22nd, 2009 at 12:20 am
I would love to win cause I have been following her and her health and lifestyle choices.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:03 am
I’m really interested in living a healthier lifestyle and this sounds like a really easy book to follow.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:25 pm
I’m trying to convince my sister to go vegan, and i think with help from a great book like this, i might just be able to. X
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:55 pm
I would love a copy to read, and so I can promote the book on my blog! Then I can pass it on to friends and family to check it out and spread the vegan word!
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:12 am
Ok, I’m being completely superficial here, but the truth is that when I first saw this book I thought: “with a cute blonde on the cover, maybe my husband and oldest son would be interested in taking a look at what’s inside that book and then we could share thoughts and ideas on vegan lifestyle”. So that, with of course my own selfish interest in vegan lifestyle books in general and in particular in Alicia’s, is basically why I’d love, love, love to get my hands on a copy of that book!
October 24th, 2009 at 8:58 am
My wife would love to have this book and I can be the hero if I get it for her. Plus, I benefit from all the foods she will be making!!!
October 24th, 2009 at 9:01 am
My daughter-in-law is a vegetarian who is converting to a vegan. This cookbook would help her in that endeavor.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:02 am
There are 11 people ahead of me on the list at the library. I hope I win!!!
October 24th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
I really want a copy of this cookbook. I watched her on the view when she brought food that she made from her cookbook and it looked amazing. I am a nursing student and in my nutrition class it has really opened my eyes to what a vegan diet can do for you. Two of my friends are vegans and they eat about the same things everyweek because they don’t know how to expand their diet/lifestyle and this book would not only help me but also help them out as well and have a new vegan meal every day plus I want to host a vegan party every week and make all the foods in the cookbook until we reach the last page. Plus it will help me with any future patients that I might have that are vegan or vegetarian.
October 24th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
I would LOVE to have this cookbook because I just saw it for the first time today at Barnes & Noble’s booksellers. It looks great however I cannot afford it right now. I would love to make her recipe for Thanksgiving Tofu when I go home this November. I am the only Vegan in my family, so I am always looking for excellent recipes to share.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
I love alicia silverstone and I thought was even cooler when she went vegan! I would love this book.
October 25th, 2009 at 12:25 am
I have been doing quite a bit of research the past few weeks. It was interesting I have stumbled upon a few post saying that some people felt like they were vegan their entire lives but were forced to eat meat and lately i have felt the same way. I have been on and off being a vegetarian ever since i was 12. I would be faithful until i couldn’t take the comments anymore from family and would start eating meat once again. It wasn’t until recently that i had put on weight (after losing 40 lbs i had put half of it back on) and i realized a lot of my problem foods were processed dairy foods. This brought me to research veganism and I truthfully have to say it feels as if this would be the best fit for me the only problem is i feel like i need a solid piece of writing/info and I always seem to run into this book on my search. It is for this reason that i would LOVE a copy!!!! To help me gain control over my life once again and treat my body the way it has been craving since i was young!
October 25th, 2009 at 11:42 am
I’d love to win this book because maybe I could pass it on to my fiancé to whip up some nice dishes when I’m not around to do what I love best: cook
October 25th, 2009 at 11:47 am
Became a vegetarian over 6 years ago and have always been looking to make the jump to becoming vegan. I believe this book would be an excellent first step in making that change.
October 25th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
I’d love love love to win this book because a) I’m poor, lol, and b) because although I’ve been vegan for 7 years I’m the pickiest eater when it comes to food and tend to eat the same boring fast food I can grab. There’s a lot that I don’t like so I get bored eating the same stuff over and over. I would like to read and try the meals that Alicia has developed in the book. I could also do with losing a few pounds in weight – so maybe you would be ‘kind’ and give ‘The Kind Diet’ to me!
October 25th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
I love animals and have been a vegetarian since I was 3. God only knows why because both of my parents are meat eaters. I turned vegan this past summer and could not be happier! I would love to learn more about Alicia’s lifestyle to incorporate into my own and help spread the word about living a happy, healthy, plant-based life! I believe that the world would be a much better place if we followed “The Kind Diet.” I believe it’s my purpose in life to help share this lifestyle with the world! I believe eating whole food plant based foods brings not only inner beauty but outer beauty as well! side note: plus I’m a broke college student and getting this for free would really be fantastic
October 25th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
i would love to win a copy of this book. i am a vegetarian and am trying to go vegan!
October 25th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
I would love to have this cookbook because I have been thinking about becoming a vegan. I am so sick of how meat and dairy products make me feel so run down. I looked at this book briefly at a major book store but did not have the extra money to purchase it. I have also seen how cruely they kill animals for the grocery store meats and what they do to baby chicks, so even though I am ony 1 person, I hope that I could also turn my family members on to a more kind diet as well.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
I love that Veganism is the kind way to be on this planet…yet at the same time it can feed my vain obsession with beauty!!!
I hoping to win this…since I am a “starving artist”…well Bellydancer that is!!!!
