Vegan Inspiration

Vegan Chef Todd Dacey with Jia Patten

"The meals created from Todd's cookbook are satisfying, both to my doctors and to me. Yum, yum, yum, yum." Ram Dass

"Todd cooks with conscious joy and harmony. I heartily recommend Todd and Jia's cookbook, Vegan Inspiration." Kathlyn Hendricks, co-author with Gay Hendricks, Spirit Centered Relationships and Conscious Loving, www.hendricksinstitute.com

"Todd's food is truly a gift from heaven. The recipes are lovingly created with consciousness and healing intent. When I taste Todd's offerings, I feel the love and blessings." Namaste, Deva Premal, Performing artist of The Yoga of Mantra, www.mitendevapremal.com

"As a Universal Peace and vegetarian activist, I really appreciate Todd Dacey's practical book of nourishing Vegan recipes. It is wonderful, also, that he includes essential educational material on nutrition, preparing foods, and how to eat in a balanced, healthy way. After witnessing terrible cruelty to animals at a slaughterhouse, I could never eat meat again. As a Buddhist monk, I began to research the words of Lord Buddha and found that there were several teachings in which he said we should not kill or cause killing any sentient being and not eat meat. As a result of this activism, my vegetarian campaign has led to many people around the world, especially Buddhist monasteries and nunneries, becoming vegetarian. I hope, with the help of this book, many more people will overcome from causing the killing of animals and live healthier." Geshe Thupten Phelgye, a simple Buddhist monk following H.H. the Dalai Lama, Member of Parliament of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile, founder of the Universal Compassion Movement, and Universal Peace and vegetarian activist, www.universalcompassion.org

Vegan Inspiration is so much more than a recipe book for meals. It is also a recipe book for conscious living. Written during this time of planetary awakening, vegan chef Todd Dacey and "Food Goddess" Jia Patton shine a bright light upon our path.

Among the amazing, delicious, healthy, and cruelty-free meals, we find gems about both spiritual and physical healing and wisdom In the book, we find a treasure of information about acid/alkaline balance, cleansing of toxins, fats, vegan food, raw food, fasting, and even a great shopping list to help us stock our kitchens with health producing ingredients. One of the most fascinating sections is about high vibration foods.

Beyond those gifts, the authors share their personal stories of transformation and their beautiful vision of a world fed and blessed with love, nonviolence, and respect for all life.

Vegans will find a wealth of recipe ideas and spiritual inspiration. Non-vegans and vegans-to-be will find reasons for adopting an ahimsa (nonviolent) lifestyle that, perhaps, they had never read before. Just paging through the book, we sense the absolute peacefulness and joy that Todd and Jia experience and want to share with their readers. I highly recommend this book to everyone who eats and everyone who wants peace and joy in their lives.
