Not the Only Vegan Resource You MIght Need, But Great Information for the Journey...

Alicia Silverstone's Vegan/kindness tome went with us on a recent road trip. The passengers in the car passed it around and read up on some of what Alicia had to say. She gives great information on how and why to go Vegan. She shares delicious recipes. Her peanut butter cups and Rustic Pasta are amazing, and many pages in our copy of The Kind Diet have become stained and/or dogeared in the months since the road trip. Alicia's voice is friendly girl-next-doorsy … more

Thank God Alicia Silverstone is here to save me from meat

Pros: well written, great ideas Cons: becomes political and obnoxious The Bottom Line: This starts out as a great book with good concepts and excellent background but quickly becomes a political message.

This doesn't mean that we are crazy … more

'The Kind Diet' - Great Vegetarian and Vegan Resource

'The Kind Diet' reminded me a lot of the books 'Skinny Bitch' and 'Skinny Bastard'. All of these books make a case for why you should go vegetarian.

'The Kind Diet' is really two books in one; the first (approx.) 140 pages is a straight-forward description of how Alicia Silverstone has gone about losing weight, keeping it off, and lifestyle changes. Unlike many of these Hollywood … more

Very interesting and visually enticing

I loved this book! Over the years I have been weaning myself off meat, trying to eat less of it, not because I didn't like the taste, because my deep love for animals has naturally led me that way. When I stop and really think about it, I really don't enjoy thinking that I'm eating something that had a face, a life and personality but drastic changes like that don't happen overnight, to me this is simply a tool and guide to try and eat little better. I'm not interested in becoming a vegan because … more

Inspiring Vegan Recipes

I am not a vegan/vegetarian, as I do eat meat (free range, organic) and dairy sparingly. However, I do eat lots of vegan and vegetarian foods and am always on the lookout for good recipes. The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet, by Alicia Silverstone, is filled with many great looking recipes. While I have not tried them yet, as a former professional chef, it is obvious to me when I look at a recipe what will taste good. Th … more
