Vegan Thanksgiving Recipes for Every Course + A Cookbook Sneak Peek!

October 11, 2013

And so it begins.

The next round of cookbook editing is going down in my living room. This round is called the “first pass” and it marks the first time that I’ve done any editing on paper. It’s kinda nice to be off a computer screen for a bit, however spending half my life on a keyboard has not improved my penmanship one bit! Oh boy, I feel like I need to re-train my hand how to write…

It felt a bit like Christmas morning when this huge package arrived in the mail this week…for some reason, I felt so nervous to open it!

I love seeing the book in its actual size – a gorgeous 8×10” trim (I fought hard for this large trim size!) with 100 of my most-loved photographs and recipes.

Line by line, I’m going through the entire book with a fine tooth comb marking any last minute edits in red ink. Hopefully by page 300 I can still see straight! Maybe an IV of caffeine would help?

Thank you again for supporting me throughout this journey. I never thought I’d be here, that is for sure.

As many of you know, it’s also Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. Big work assignments love to fall around holidays, don’t they? I had high hopes of sharing a couple Thanksgiving recipes for you this week, but I’m afraid they are not quite ready to share. I did a trial of this stew yesterday and was hoping to finalize the recipe this morning after a second trial, but I haven’t nailed the gravy broth yet. The first trial was too bland and the second one, well, let’s just say I overcompensated a bit. I guess you know what I’ll be eating for the next week. It will just have to wait a bit longer. In the meantime, I’ve put together a round-up of some of my favourite Thanksgiving recipes from my archives and from some of my favourite blogs! As always, no turkey is required to enjoy one helluva good holiday meal.

To my fellow Canadians, I wish you all a lovely Thanksgiving!

I can’t wait to buy your cookbook! Many of your recipes make regular appearances in our house (the broccoli cheez soup is a weekly item!) and your soft ginger cookies and pumpkin gingerbread are always top sellers at our scout event bake sales. The sneak peaks of the pics here look lovely! Congratulations!

I just want to thank you Angela for all of your hard work in producing such great recipes. In February my husband was diagnosed with sugar diabetes and I decided to make changes in the way we eat. We haven’t entirely gone vegan but I am finding that your recipes work very well for cutting back on sugar and additives. It is back to the basics for us. I love how you embrace all kinds of vegetables and we are slowly but surely getting there. When I would read in your blog about drinking a green smoothie and how much you loved it, I would think that is just nuts. And speaking of nuts we sure have embraced them. I have yet to sit and eat a whole spaghetti squash by myself but I have definitely enjoyed the green smoothie in the morning. We have a huge garden and I have been smoothing everything. Thanks again for all your hard work.
