Make your own compassionate life

Are you plant-based, penniless, and keen on making things yourself? Half of this compendium of vegan living focuses on spring and summer, offering hot-weather tips and treats like recipes for raw food, sorbet, and dandelion wine; a pickling and jamming primer; budget vegan travel tips; craft ideas; yard sale delights; and guidance on environmentally friendly housecleaning. The second half of the book is focused on harvest and holiday, offering recipes for cool-weather treats like pumpkin bread, soothing broth, lip gloss, soap, bubble bath, cookies, hot cocoa, and more. You'll find vegan survival tips for family occasions like Christmas, as well as Valentine's Day gift ideas and guidance for doing it yourself and avoiding commercial holidays altogether. Save cash and learn new skills while staying socially and environmentally conscious all year round.
