meat

I am a huge fan of goat cheese. In my twenties, I had the opportunity to live in the south of France in a prime goat cheese production region and that first taste of fromage de chevre I was hooked forever. In the naïveté of my youth I thought that I didn’t really like cheese due to my limited experience with bright orange coloured varieties that usually came out of a jar or a flimsy square of plastic. Thankfully, I had nine months in which to sample hundreds of cheeses, many purchased from markets staffed by local cheese farmers.

Don't be scared away by "vegan" in the title — The Complete Guide to Vegan Food Substitutions is a great resource for anyone who needs to avoid certain ingredients in their diet, whether it's meat, soy or refined sugar.
