Roselle, your heart for life and land is so sweet! I think (and hope) that serializing your recipes here on Substack would be a great idea - it seems like there would be a very interested audience who would be grateful for vegan recipes, which are still pretty limited in the scope of things. I wonder if there might be a hybrid approach, in which you share the important message of your book in more traditional published format, while providing some recipe teasers and then referring readers to your online materials for full-photography-recipes? Best wishes finding the right path forward for this project, I know it's close to your heart and important to share!

Roselle, I agree with you that veganism is the way forward for all the reasons you state. I’m almost a vegan but I admit that I do eat eggs from organic free range chickens. I wish I could keep chickens because they are so lovely but I have nowhere to put them. Chickens are one animal you never need to kill.

When I lived in Italy I borrowed a broody hen and gave her a clutch of eggs to hatch. She produced a brood of the most beautiful, wild chickens and two cocks, all of whom flew into our nut tree to roost every night. When we went away our chickens looked after themselves, going down to the forest to look for food. Finding the eggs was always a challenge because our chickens hid them in obscure places.

I too had a veg patch and produced all our vegetables organically, channelling water from a nearby spring and making enormous compost heaps. I now have an alottment in Stroud- England.
