Once a month I teach a vegan cooking class at a local museum. It's really exciting to share my passion and love for food with others. The added bonus is when those outside my family like what I cook!!
This month I did a quick spring dinner options. I have a confession to make: unlike on tv, real cooks have recipe fails. The falafel mix didn't combine the way it should have, so that was out.
Otherwise...super yummy

Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld

I was excited to see your post before mine on SITS. The funny thing is I was at the bookstore yesterday looking for vegan cookbooks so I'll be sure to try this cheesecake recipe and check out your etsy store and book.
I'm vegetarian, my hubby is vegan, and my other two family members are omnivores. So I get what you say about finding recipes that everyone likes!
These sound really good! One of my good friends is vegan-I'll have to make the cheesecake for our next dinner :-)
