Because I have more than a few friends who are crazy leaf-eaters vegetarian or vegan, and would thus be interested:

This lady writes vegan cookbooks. Appalled by the state of vegan cooking (or lack thereof), Isa Chandra Moskowitz has boldly gone where no chef has gone before and written a few cookbooks. She's figured out ways to make tasty baked goods without resorting to eggs or milk, which I think is pretty impressive, even though I'm not of an herbivorous bent. Her stuff is also good for people with dairy allergies.

In other food-related news, I have made progress in my search for cruelty-free animal products (the best I can do since I'm not hardcore enough to go vegan). A young woman at my knitting circle, who is a member of Jews in the Woods, has confirmed my suspicion that certain kosher animal products are cruelty-free, but others are not: it depends on who certifies them. She says that she will ask some of her friends about which certifications guarantee a cruelty-free product and which ones don't.

It also occurs to me that I will have to tell my mother about my decision before I visit home (which I plan to do soon, to give her my old computer), and well in advance of Passover.

For your vegan friends, they should also look at Orthodox (Christian not Jewish) Lenten cookbooks, there are some good ones out there and they are totally vegan (no animal products during lent). There are some really good stuff in them esp. baked goods, but most vegans don't ever realize that they are out there.

Does that knitting type person have the initials R.A. and know Sze?

Her last name does start with an A, but I don't know whether or not she's acquainted with Sze.

Yes, it is the infamous *me*

I've found kosher organic, but not necesarily cruelty free:

so far the responses have been "has anyone given you an answer? I'd like to know..." A few people said that. The responses just started coming in today, so I'll keep you posted.

Wow. this is such a small world.
