Cooking up Help for Haiti

I follow Isa Chandra Moskowitz on Twitter. I'm not a vegan (duh) and while most of the vegans I know personally (bad experiences in college) irritate the crap out of me, I like Isa's style. And her recipes. She has been talking about vegan bake sales all over the U.S. as a way of raising money for Haiti. If you're interested in finding or holding one in your area, check out Isa's tips and a list of bakesales at http://theppk.com/blog/

Oh, and in case you're wondering, I have made some vegan cake in the past and it was, in fact, delicious. It's great to have a dairy- and egg free recipe on hand for those with allergies and for when you just run out of those staples and can't be arsed to go to the market!

This is a wonderful idea indeed, thank you for steering us toward it. (Even though I am not vegan myself either, but still!)

Vegans are fine as long as they're not preachy about it. And vegan cooking and baking has come a long, LONG way over the past 30 years. I remember the first tofu carob cheesecake I ever tasted back then -- bleccchhh!

So true!
Many, many people today have gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, and nut allergies, it's always good to have some recipes which can be consumed by nearly anybody.

Great idea!
