    HowExpert Guide to Vegan Food for Non-Vegans takes a unique approach to vegan cooking. Instead of focusing on veganism as a diet or lifestyle, this book approaches it as a cuisine. The belief is that by viewing it through that lens, resistance to trying the cuisine can be reduced. This book consists of recipes, tips, and important reminders for those interested in going vegan entirely. Still, most importantly, it is for those who either want to eat some vegan food or those who are trying to increase the number of healthy options they make for their friends and family.  
    While there are a few tips that may only resonate with readers trying to transition fully to a vegan diet, these tips are still presented in a way that allows them to provide nutritional information that would benefit all readers. The writing style in this book has hints of sarcasm, bits of corny humor, and above all, is intended to come off as inclusive. The author, who was vegan for some time, is no longer vegan and can present the case for increasing the amount of vegan food you eat without some of the forced tones that some may associate with the cuisine. There was also some time devoted to dispelling (or confirming) some of the myths related to vegan food.

    “Well-researched and original” essays on the intersection between food and adventure (Publishers Weekly).  Culinary Tourism is the first book to consider food as both a destination and a means for tourism. The book’s contributors examine the many intersections of food, culture, and tourism in public and commercial contexts, in private and domestic settings, and around the world.   The contributors argue that the sensory experience of eating provides people with a unique means of communication—whether they’re trying out a new kind of ethnic restaurant in their own town or the native cuisine of a place far from home. Editor Lucy Long explains how and why interest in foreign food is expanding tastes and leading to commercial profit in America, but the book also shows how tourism combines personal experiences with cultural and social attitudes toward food and the circumstances that allow for adventurous eating.   “Contributors to the book are widely recognized food experts who encourage readers to venture outside the comforts of home and embark on new eating experiences.” —Lexington Herald-Leader
