"Myra and Marea are an inspirational team offering insights into cooking as well as to how a family can come together to create something truly beautiful.

It's billed as a vegan cookbook, but it's the type of fresh, appealing, veggie-centric fare that will appeal to omnivores, vegetarians and foodarians of every persuasion." - San Jose Mercury News -- -, "This isn't a cookbook aimed solely at vegans.it's an open-arms invitation to everyone to see just how delicious vegan dishes can be and how easy it is to incorporate them into your weekly meals.
