Cookbook D'arc Manche

In a remarkable feat of last-minute motivation, I managed to put together a 20-page vegan cookbook/zine as a Christmas present for lots of friends who regularly visit our house. We like cooking for people and people often say kind things about our food and ask for recipes, so I figured a cookbook would be a nice (if slightly egotistical) thing to do.

In addition to the illustrations, there are a whole bunch of delicious photos, including...

Whoever thinks vegans don't eat well needs to get over here RIGHT NOW and let me pile some of this onto their plates.
