- Latino Vegan Cookery
How does the routine act of picking up a fork and eating a meal become transformed into a gesture that bestows the promise of a better world to future generations? Try eating a vegan meal. Do you know what the driving force behind the destruction of our tropical rainforests is? The American meat habit. The United States imports about 200,000,000 pounds of meat from Latin America a year. Millions of acres of forestland must be cleared to feed the livestock that is slaughtered to maintain this meat habit. The grain and soybeans used to feed livestock in the United States could feed 1,300,000,000 human beings a year, but every two seconds a child dies of starvation. In total, sixty million people will starve to death this year. Add the fact that the leading source of pesticide residues in the U.S. diet are found in meat and dairy products, and an alternative diet is no longer an option but a necessity. Here is a book full of fast recipes that are meatless, dairy-free, egg-free, healthy, delicious and distinctly Latino.(Available in English and Spanish)

Although they are most prevalent in Ireland, Sheila Na Gigs have been found in England, France and Spain. This reprint of the original work contains a new Afterword by Dr. Eamonn Kelly of The National Museum of Ireland. (English only)
