Giveaway: Vegan Easter Chocolates and Chloe Coscarelli’s New Cookbook, Chloe’s Kitchen!
Recently, Allison had the great pleasure of interviewing the lovely chef, Chloe Coscarelli for our Fridays with Friends feature, but we were unfortunately not able to do a giveaway with her at that time because her book was not actually available yet. 
Since then, Chloe’s Kitchen has been receiving rave reviews and has taken the vegan world by storm! It’s everywhere, she’s everywhere, and by all accounts her recipes are wonderful. We love her! So, in homage to a great new vegan author, we’re giving away a copy of her beautiful book to one lucky winner.

World Vegan Feast Cookbook Winner, and Vegan Recipes!
For the third week in a row we’re announcing the winner of a vegan cookbook giveaway! A signed copy of Bryanna Clark Grogan’s latest book World Vegan Feast is going to Aimee, who requested veganized versions of scalloped potatoes and asparagus with hollandaise sauce. 
Congratulations, Aimee! As for her requests, Bryanna recommended these scalloped potato recipes: Susan Voisin‘s of fatfreevegan.com, and this Gluten-Free Goddess version. Bryanna also has a vegan hollandaise sauce recipe in World Vegan Feast that she says is pretty low fat, too! If you love comfort recipes, I recommend keeping an eye on Allison’s “Veganize It!” column in VegNews. Pssst… her scalloped potato recipe just might be coming in the fall!
In case you missed Bryanna’s other answers to some of the veganized Springtime tradition requests on Facebook here’s a recipe for broccoli cheese rice casserole, too.
Quick-Fix Vegan Cookbook Giveaway Winner!
Robin Robertson and her cookbooks are obviously well-loved. Our giveaway of her book Quick-Fix Vegan gathered a record 113 responses filled with great ideas for her next cookbook including vegan sandwiches, pressure cooker cooking, and freezable meals for on-the-go people.
Many of you also made requests for cookbooks that Robin has already written (that’ll happen when you’ve written 19 of them!) including holiday and hors d’oeuvre recipes, see Party Vegan, and Vegan Unplugged aimed at RVers and people cooking with limited space. For those wanting vegan cooking on a budget and cost-effective meals, check out Vegan on the Cheap. Robin has just finished “another crock pot cookbook” coming out in October, Fresh from the Vegan Slow Cooker, and she’s now in the process of working on another book, “One-Dish Vegan Recipes,” another request we saw more than once during this giveaway.
We also saw several of you ask for a book on cooking with or for children, including our winner, Bekki, who said this:
“I would love to see a kid-focused cookbook. My daughter is adventurous with food and can be bribed with salad and brussels sprouts, but vegan cookbooks aren’t usually that much fun for kids. I think a cookbook aimed at helping kids learn to help cook would be amazing and good for helping both transitioning families and lifelong vegan kids to try new things.”
We think that’s a great idea, Bekki, thanks for sharing! You’ve won a copy of Quick-Fix Vegan from Robin. Congratulations, and although it’s not specifically geared towards kids, we hope your daughter will enjoy helping you with these quick-and-easy recipes!
P.S. We also got a few requests for a cookbook on cooking by the seasons which also already exists, although not written by Robin: The Blooming Platter Cookbook by Betsy DiJulio.
Vegan Cookbook Giveaway Winner!
We had so many great entries for Jo Stepaniak’s vegan cookbook giveaway this week. The choice was between Vegan Vittles and The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook and we asked readers to tell us which one they’d rather win and why. We got all kinds of wonderful responses. 
Some of you already had one book and wanted the other. Others wanted a vegan cookbook to give to vegan-curious loved ones or to donate to their local library. One person even wrote a poem for us! It was a great contest, and we’re very pleased to announce that the randomly chosen winner is Angela who wrote:
“I would love to own The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook. It looks great! I’m always on the lookout for delicious recipes and Jo’s books never disappoint. The Vegan Sourcebook was one of the first books I bought when I went vegan 8 years ago and one I still use often.”
Congratulations Angela! You’ll be receiving a copy of The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook compliments of Allison’s Gourmet and Jo Stepaniak. Happy vegan cheese-making!
We Have a Winner for Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s Books!
Wow! You all shared beautiful stories of spreading compassion, so it truly was a tough decision. We did the hard work though, and selected our winner, Kathie, who said that she’d keep Vegan’s Daily Companion and share The 30-Day Vegan Challenge. “I would not actually give the book away. I would rotate it around and let people borrow it and when they are done give it back to me so I could pass it on.” 
Kathie came up with this idea to share the book with many people because “some friends and some family think that vegan food cannot taste good and it would be too hard, yet all are to an extent, animal lovers (except eating them!).” Thanks, Kathie, we love your idea to pass around the compassionate wisdom.
We enjoyed reading all your sweet and inspirational stories of family and friends moving towards veganism with your help and support. Many of you seem to agree that the best way to nudge someone along their path to healthier eating is to share excellent vegan goodies.
In case you don’t have time or inclination to make your own vegan Valentine’s Day sweets, let us support you. Like many holidays, Valentine’s Day has a tendency to creep up on us. Believe it or not, the time is now to order vegan Valentine’s Day chocolate gifts for delivery in time for February 14th. We’re ready to help you grant all your sweethearts’ sweet desires!
