David answers the question "What are some of your favourite vegan cuisines, vegan/AR authors and why?"
.
I use a lot of energy as a manual worker so I like solid food. I want more burgers, pies and cakes. I wish they sold nutritious, yummy, vegan pastries, but they don’t. So I have to make them myself. I like cooking but I’m not much good at it, but with practice … even my cakes and pies can turn out okay, sometimes. As for reading matter, apart from some home grown magazines and web sites I like hard copy to read in the bath or under a tree. My favourite author at the moment is Will Tuttle, for his World Peace Diet. I can’t stop re-reading it. I’m looking forward to read the Endgame books by Derrick Jensen. I’m hoping to get into Francione soon, I like Neal Barnard and Michael Klaper and have learnt so much from them as I have from Gill Langley’s book Vegan Nutrition and Amanda Sweet’s The Vegan Health Plan. And I think we should all learn by heart John Waddell’s book But You Kill Ants.
