Think like a Vegan: What everyone can learn from vegan ethics

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We're deeply grateful to Seth Tibbott and Kuntal A. Joisher for generously providing these exceptional and heartfelt cover quotes.

Seth is an extraordinary person and the founder of the legendary Tofurky. He’s also the author of the must-read book, In Search of the Wild Tofurky, which is about the decades-long journey to the Tofurky we know and love today. It…

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Today, after many manuscript edits and seven drafts to and from the typesetter, we've hit the print button!! 

The editing process has been alot of work and truly rewarding. 

Massive thanks to our editor Martha Sprackland, our development editor Phil Connor and copy editor Hayley Shepherd, as well as the proofreaders…

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We received the first proof of the manuscript and we've since turned it in to our editor with a few comments and edits. Right now, the proof is being professionally proofread as well. So, we're closer and closer to being able to hit that print button. 

Another highlight this week was hearing a snippet of our book being read aloud by the narrator, British actress …

Dear Friends and Supporters,

It's the one year anniversary of funding Think Like a Vegan! And to celebrate, we have three thrilling updates for you. We're sharing them here first as a way of thanking you, our supporters, without whom this book could never have happened. Drum roll please...

Our cover reveal!

This year has simultaneously flown by and lasted an extraordinarily loooong time. Around this time last year we appeared on the BBC to talk about winter holiday vegan foods. That was such fun! Relive that moment here.

This year, we've worked hard on our book with the first-rate team of editors at Unbound. We've submitted all our edits on time, most recently completing…

Dearest Supporters

We hope you and yours are keeping well. 

We've been busy working on the manuscript edits and it's all coming together nicely. 

Eva's favourite holiday is upon us: Halloween! She's celebrating by baking, of course.

These jack o'linzers use the same recipe as Christmas linzers we've shared with you before. 

Remember, there are loads of vegan candy readily available…

Dearest Supporters,

How are you? We've managed to keep busy, despite all the ups and downs.

What's happening with our book?

We've just submitted the development edits to our manuscript. We're delighted with how the finished book is shaping up. Thank you, Phil Connor for your brilliant insights on our manuscript. Now, onto the copy editing!  

 What else has been going on?

We've…

Dear Supporters

Last night, we submitted our final draft manuscript to our editor: 166 pages; 56,190 words.

We are simultaneously excited and terrified, but mostly excited... we think!

If you're in London and fancy something completely different, we still have two spots available for our IThailian supper club on 3 April. 

Meanwhile, bring on the editing process!

Much love & gratitude…

Dear Supporters

On the day this photo was taken, we discussed working on a book together. We didn't know then we would turn into more than 300 of us!

Each of you has made our croissant-induced dream a reality. 

We will keep you posted as we work with Unbound's editors to finalise our manuscript and discover all that's required  in the publishing process. Exciting times ahead!

Thank…

Dear Supporters

How are you?

We have so many updates we had to add a day to our usual posting schedule.

First, clear your calendar for a unique experience: an Italian-Thai dinner on Friday, 3 April 2020 at 7.30pm in North London.

Kip, of Messy Vegan Cook, and Emilia have teamed up again to bring back the always popular, and often requested, IThailian supper club. We combine vegan Italian…

Dear Supporters:

Happy new year to you and yours! 

As we start 2020, we thought it fitting to share with you the origins of our book. Inspiration visits us in strangest places sometimes. For Think Like a Vegan, it all started after the 2018 Vegandale Festival in Toronto. Emi was sitting in the back of Eva’s & Matt’s truck. We had just scoffed pastries at Tori’s Bakeshop and were on our way…

Dear Supporters

We wish you all a happy Festive Season and a peaceful new year.

We leave you with vegan and gluten free Linzer Wreath cookies lovingly handmade and photographed by Eva (helloo multi-talent)!. 

Wish we could share them with each one of you in real life.

See you in 2020!

With much love and gratitude,

Emi & Eva

Dear Supporters:

We have some fantastic news. Our first official testimonial is IN! 

“Think Like A Vegan is a brilliant book, which both challenges and inspires thoughts on veganism,” said Seth Tibbott, Chair and Founder of the famously vegan brand Tofurky. “I love the thought experiments at the end.” Seth read a draft of the book, made a number of excellent suggestions and we’re grateful for…

Today, BBC World News invited us to participate in a segment about vegan Christmas! 

You can imagine how excited we were.

Emi went to Broadcasting House in London, and Eva connected with Skype from Toronto.

Journalist and presenter, Geeta Guru-Murthy, hosted us and we spoke about Think Like a Vegan, veganism and Christmas and Hanukkah foods!  See the clip in the linked video…

Dear Supporters,

Reforesting begins!

Emi is involved with a reforesting and rewilding project up in Scotland on the south side of Loch Ness. We spent this past weekend at Birchfield planting over 400 trees in a location that was once part of the Great Caledonian forest. This was the inaugural tree planting event. Reforesting takes time and effort and we hope to host more events in the future…
