A friend (Amy Wenger) has directed me to your blog which I read for the first time
today (Dec 3, 2012). I am currently reading the China Study and got the cookbook
to go with Forks over Knives. I was a whole food vegetarian 30 years ago, before
meeting my Irish meat-and-potatoes loving husband. He is convinced by the China
Study to try sampling vegan, so I must be certain the first attempts are flavorful and
filling. Amy suggested your blog for the frequent recipes. The blog I read today
sounds good, but….what is “garam masala”, “Earth Balance” and “Evaporated
Sugar Cane?”. Are they readily available at natural food/whole foods stores?
Hi Dorothy,
All of the ingredients I use should be readily available at your local natural foods store or whole foods. Many such as Earth Balance and Evaporated Cane Sugar are also available at your standard grocery store.
Garam Masala is an Indian spice
Earth Balance is a vegan buttery spread – the most comparable to butter
Evaporated Cane Sugar is a less processed and unbleached granulated sugar (use in replace of white sugar).
If you have any more questions please let me know!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thanks you too!
What an adorable picture of your family 🙂 Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Thank you! You too!
