Try a sample recipe from the collection created from the former meat-loving Texan and food critic that utilizes the flavors from around the globe.

Yonan travels to Egypt via the spice section of the grocery store in his recipe for Roasted Carrot, Green Bean and Coconut Salad.

Dukkah is a mixture of spices and nuts, often blended with olive oil and used as a dip for breads.

In Yonan’s recipe, it makes a crunchy topping for the salad much like breadcrumbs, nuts or crumbled hard cheeses do.

“We don’t support breed-specific legislation — research shows that bans on certain types of dogs are largely ineffective and often a waste of public resources.”

“As an alternative to breed-specific policies, the CDC recommends a community-based approach to prevent dog bites. And ultimately, we think that’s a much more promising way to build stronger communities of pets and pet owners.”

Mayim Bialik is well accustomed to modifying traditional Jewish recipes to fit the criteria for being vegan.

Her upcoming cookbook, The Plant-Based Family Kitchen, will be especially devoted to creating animal-free versions of things like egg-free latkes and vegan tofu matzah brei.

Many followers of religion feel treating animals kindly is a duty, much like caring for the sick and poor and being a good neighbor. Bialik feels no differently and is using the approaching Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah to ask Jews to consider removing animal products from their diets.
