Dining With Friends

The Art of North American Vegan Cuisine
by Priscilla Feral, Lee Hall,
& Friends of Animals Inc.

Nectar Bar Press, 777 Post Road, Suite 205, Darien, CT 06820.
164 pages, paperback. $19.95.

This marvelous collection of vegan recipes might be called a
fusion cookbook, since the recipes explore a wide variety of
sources, among them Italian, West African, and Mexican.
Not being qualified cooks ourselves, we gave Dining With
Friends to Leroi Willmore, the gourmet chef who also runs the
Barnyard Donkey Sanctuary, near George in the Cape Province of South
Africa.
Explains Willmore, “The Sanctuary was started in 1995, as a
direct result of our history and involvement with the National SPCA
over the years. We found a need to care for the amazing amount of
abused and neglected donkeys we came across in the townships and
poorer parts of the country.

Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony
by Will Tuttle, Ph.D.
Lantern Books (1 Union Square West, Suite 201, New York, NY 10003), 200
5.
318 pages, paperback. $20.00.

Will Tuttle is a professional pianist and
teacher with a strong background in Zen Buddhism.
He argues for a broader understanding of the
implications of our food choices. He promotes
veganism to all people of conscience, whatever
their religion, as the vital first step to allow
our species to break out of the cycle of
violence, poverty and destruction.
Unlike most other authors on
vegetarianism, Tuttle does not content himself
with listing the physical harm done to our bodies
from meat/dairy consumption. He contends that
the harm from meat eating is much broader and
deeper than we realise, and has important
emotional and spiritual ramifications. He
believes that our relentless cruelty to animals,
principally for meat-eating, is the fundamental
cause of a global crisis today, and not merely a
symptom of human limitations.
