Walnut & cranberry cookies

There’s a huge misconception out there that eating a plant-based diet translates to deprivation, but this is far from the truth. No joie de vivre has been sacrificed here. Quite the contrary. Every week I discover new fruits, vegetables, whole grains and spices that have made my cooking so much more vibrant and interesting! I understand that my diet change has come as a shock to many of my long-time followers, but it’s my mission to prove that French living is possible without a diet full of animal products. I encourage you to be open-minded and try the recipes, whether or not you choose to eliminate or reduce your consumption of meat and dairy. Perhaps you’ll change your mind one bite at a time. 🙂 In the near future I will feature exclusive interviews with French food professionals who are showing the world that la cuisine française is moving toward a healthier, more planet-friendly direction.
