Over the last couple of months, I've noticed lots of vegan food mentions popping up all over the mainstream media. It has become increasingly common to see vegan recipes and books presented in a positive light, right alongside those that feature meat, dairy products, and eggs. Here are just a few recent vegan mentions I've noticed:
•Vegan Sashimi Wins on Top Chef: In the "Quickfire Challenge" judged by Daniel Boulud, Dale won with vegan sashimi that showcased his knife skills.
•Epicurious Tours Moby's Kitchen: In a short video series, Moby gives a tour of his kitchen, talks about his favorite kitchen equipment, and makes vegan blueberry pancakes.
•'Knit Night' Cupcakes on Martha Stewart: VeganYumYum is without a doubt one of the best food blogs out there, and its creator was even invited to make her "Knit Night" cupcakes on The Martha Stewart Show back in February.
•Heather Mills to Host Vegan Cooking Show: Also announced in February is that Heather Mills, ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney, has landed her own cooking show, and it will be all vegan. I don't know when or where it will air, but you can read a few more details here.
This is just a short list of recent vegan food news, and of course, it doesn't include the recent James Beard nomination for a vegetarian cookbook, which I told you about last week, or the vegetarian recipes that pop up in Gourmet magazine often.
Please let me know if you have other veg food news items to add to the list!

Dear Peta,
I am a signed up member of your organization, so I help with letters as much as possible.
I am currently wanting to pursue a vegan diet but because of lack of funds, it makes it very difficult. I was thinking though about starting my own Vegan Food Grocers, Juice, Health, Environmental, Herb facility, so that I could feel a litle more indepent, and own a business at the same time, are there any recommendations for grants, or other info you might be able to supply me with. Oh and I was wondeirng about your vegan package, you send out as well.
Thanks Again, Elexi Arbuckle
