Uno by WTS Creatures

Don’t you know? Neat Market isn’t just about food. It’s about books, gifts, and stuffed monsters too! This month’s Neat Market includes a special book signing with the author of Speed Vegan, Alan Roettinger, and the Denver-made plush friends of WTS Creatures.

In Speed Vegan, each recipe is designed for preparing extraordinary food in short order. Readers are offered an array of ideas that are a cut above the standard quick-to-make vegan dish. Sample dishes include: Egyptian Eggplant, White Bean Soup with Tuscan Kale, Beet & Celery Root Salad, Fennel Slaw, Artichoke Sandwich Spread, Moroccan Vegetable Stew, and Chipotle Mushrooms.

What The Stuff? These little dudes are adorable! Handmade without any animal products, WTS Creatures are super huggable, and itching to come home in your tote bag on Sunday. I’m hoping we get to see Lockjaw, Yorg, and Uno.

Neat Market is this Sunday, December 16th at HoodLAB (3354 Larimer St., two doors south of NOOCH Vegan Market) from 11am-3pm. You’ll find great gifts like these, plus 3 all-vegan food trucks, homemade artisan food and craft, and plenty of reasons to hang out. Full vendor list TBA soon. We are expecting at least 15 vendors at Denver’s only monthly vegan shop-up!

We started a lending library. Come get educated!

Borrow a book from us!

Plants & Animals Denver presents the Veg-Curious Lending Library! Anybody interested in learning about plant-based eating, activism, or conservation is welcome to borrow a book from our collection. We’ve only got about 20 books so far, but there are some great resources available. The lending library is located at Green Spaces (1368 26th St), the venue of our monthly dinners. The library is on the bookshelf near the entrance. You may stop in anytime to browse, or you can check out a book elementary-school style:

• Find the card for your book in the black recipe box.
• Write down your name, phone #, and e-mail address.
• We’ll send you a due date. You may borrow a book for 2 weeks.

Simple as that. We’ve got some good stuff, too. Books and DVDs on animals, health, fitness, cooking, philosophy, nutrition, the environment, and animal rights.

Hit the jump to see our current selection and wishlist. If you’ve got any books lying around that you’d like to donate, let us know. We’ll take anything related to animals and/or veganism.

Carol J. Adams, author of The Sexual Politics of Meat, is asking for vegans to fill out surveys about their daily diets for a new book. Please check out what she says below and fill out the survey!

“Patti Breitman & I are looking for vegans who are willing to tell others what they eat on a typical day & some of their favorite foods for a new book to help others discover the ease, joy, variety, and abundance of a vegan diet. If you are interested, please respond to me at cja[at]caroljadams.com. We are especially eager to hear from students, people on a budget, creative home chefs, vegans who do not cook, and you. Download the survey and please share widely.”

Also it might be fun to share survey snippets in the comments of this blog post. Ms. Adams will be speaking at Colorado College on April 11 at 6 pm. Maybe we should have a Plants & Animals road trip? Who’s in?
