Every once in a while I come across something that speaks so directly to me that I wish I had come up with it. My find for today – a grey, miserable day in Toronto – is the work of Heidi Swanson, a photographer, designer, and cookbook author from San Francisco. I came across her [...]  I first came into contact with this book in my hotel room in Boston, last week. I was attending a conference and Veganomicon was one of the books my roommate had picked up when we were there. I browsed through and found many recipes that peeked my curiosity.
