The Complete Book of Vegan Cooking
Veganism is defined as a way of living that excludes all forms of exploitation and cruelty to animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. A vegan is a vegetarian who has gone one step further by choosing to live entirely independent of animal products: meat, eggs, dairy, and all animal derivatives that are common in our food. The most common reason for becoming vegan is to lessen the exploitation and suffering of animals. Other reasons include health benefits and concern for the environment.
