What does the term “veganish” mean?

Young adults and new adults aren’t into labels. They don’t want to be told what they should think or do. “Veganish” allows for their kind of flexibility, which lets a person find his or her way into the vegan lifestyle.

What’s The Book of Veganish about?

It’s a beginner’s toolkit for the curious. It simply states all the reasons why it would be beneficial for the reader to go in a vegan direction. The book gives talking points on how to navigate your way socially with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or peers or parents, when you go vegan. And then it has great, super-easy recipes by Robin Robertson.
