I found a beautiful new cookbook at the library this week: Isa Does It, which features everyday vegan recipes. I'm not vegan but like the idea of eating less animal products, and this book is very inspiring to me. Isa Chandra Moskowitz, of Post Punk Kitchen fame, has been writing cookbooks since 2005. This one is really beautifully styled, written in a friendly and fun way and filled with recipes that suit us as a family so I need to order a household copy of this book.

Kiera and I made these Isa muesli bars together – she did the pouring and mixing while I rummaged around in the pantry for all the ingredients. The verdict: yummier than shop ones, and the best thing: no wrappers to worry about: just a bit of waxed paper within the kids' lunchboxes. I conveniently found the recipe here on the book's facebook page, in case you want to give it a whirl.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.

    I had no idea Isa had a new book out. I have vegan vengence and vegan cupcakes take over the world. I thoroughly recommend the latter. There is a strict no peanut policy at school but we’ll be making this one for home definitely. Thank you!

    I am vegan but I don’t make the Isa recipes I might like as they often make vast quantities and there is only one of me; I can cope with recipes intended for 4 but not 6, 8 or even 12. Many vegans are cooking just for themselves, so is a bit strange. Also many ingredients are either really expensive in the UK or not to be found easily but need to be ordered online which puts the costs up too high.

    hmm, fair enough angie. to be honest, ive not tried  the meal recipes yet, only the baking which appealed because i have three hungry schoolkids to feed! the special ingredients can be quite expensive here in nz too.
