We must admit that when we each decided to go vegan, our first thoughts were, Boring food, here we comeat least the animals will be safe and well be healthier, followed immediately by, How will we ever survive without cakes and other sweet treats? But the good news is that weve never had as much fun eating as we do nowand our family members agree! In fact, were happy to report that our significant others and even some family members have either switched from consuming an omnivorous diet to eating solely vegan foods when at home, or have at least made great steps toward including more vegan foods in their diet, which, to us, is as great an endorsement as any! We think you can convince your family to do the same, which is why weve written this book.
