Vegan Panang Pasta

Gretchen’s Vegan Bakery is mostly, but not all, baked goods and desserts. The site has a great index, including an entry for “Classic Cakes Veganized” and “How to Cook Vegan for Beginners.” I chose a recipe from the latter category, since I am not much of a baker.

Gretchen says, in her “about me” section, that she encountered some contentiousness in the process of transforming her site from vegetarian to vegan. She says: “Let’s all band together, continue to live with compassion for all beings (both human and animal!). By living in integrity and showing people our truth and the truth of a vegan lifestyle, we can get more people on board with this sweeping way of the future!”

Gretchen has links on her website to information on what’s wrong with eggs and dairy, top 10 reasons to go vegan, and benefits of going vegan for the animals and the environment.
