Cozy Inside: Delicious and Comforting Cruelty Free Recipes.

by Joni Marie Newman

Joni is a just a regular gal who loves to cook and bake. Especially for her friends and family. One of the things that drove her to write this book was her love for the foods she dearly missed when she became a strict vegetarian. Macaroni and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, greasy breakfasts of bacon and eggs, rich and creamy soups, decadent desserts, even Hamburger Helper became off limits. As a creature of comfort Joni set out to recreate her favorite comfort foods in a cookbook that features easy to follow recipes. *Please note that this is the black and white version of this book, that was previously only available in color.

About the author

Joni is just a regular gal who loves to cook...ESPECIALLY for friends and family. Self taught, and always learning, she spends most of her spare time in the kitchen.

When she is not in the kitchen, she really enjoys knitting, painting, wasting endless hours on the internet (reading the comments), walking with her husband and the baby girl, traveling, reading, swimming, and most of the other stuff regular gals enjoy.

A California native, she is currently residing in North Long Beach, with her four legged baby girl, Annie, and her extremely delicious husband, Dan.

It is in this home that she creates delicious and animal free delicacies for the world to enjoy. Through her food, she hopes to help people to understand that it is not necessary to murder or torture another living creature in order to have a tasty supper.

This slim little book is especially terrific for new vegans, although I do recommend it for all vegans. The author is very engaging and entertaining. There’s some good information about ingredients and some resources lists in the back of the book. She’s kind of heavy on the meat substitutes, which I am not, but there were several recipes that I want to try, especially the fluffy tofu omelets and the mac and cheese, the latter because it’s one of the few vegan macaroni & cheese recipes I've seen that doesn't call for dry mustard powder, which, like meat substitutes, I don’t enjoy. I only skimmed over the vegan “meat” recipes.
