“Consider the Lobster”

Posted by Spencer Hope Davis on Aug 17, 2010 in For the Love of Food, The Vegan Diaries, You Gotta See This!

Just a quick interlude to tell the story behind the video above. My wife is half Bahamian and often speaks romantically about her childhood on the island and the roots of her love for seafood. I don’t share the intensity of that love. When she talks about conch fritters I have no connection to them [...]

Are You Sure This Isn’t Chicken? The Temptation of Seitan

Posted by Spencer Hope Davis on Jul 29, 2010 in For the Love of Food, Raleigh Restaurants, The Vegan Diaries

The first time I had Seitan (SAY-tan) was in Palm Springs California at Native Foods. Native Foods is a completely vegan restaurant and its owner Chef Tanya Petronva came out to our table and explained to me as a vegan newbie, what Seitan is. It is wheat gluten created by mixing protein packed (1 serving [...]

Make that Vegan Pizza ‘By Any Greens Necessary!’

Posted by Spencer Hope Davis on Jul 23, 2010 in For the Love of Food, The Vegan Diaries, You Gotta See This!

Just finished reading “By Any Greens Necessary” by Tracey McQuirter. Very good book and I highly recommend this quick read to anyone considering becoming a vegan or someone in the early stages like I am.

When the Cows and Chickens Come Home to Roost

Posted by Spencer Hope Davis on Jul 13, 2010 in The Vegan Diaries

Take something that is living, full of blood, waste, and fluids. Kill it. Let it linger. Wrap it up and sell it. Then cook it and eat it. Yeah. That really didnt seem like it might be very good for me for very long. I admit, I havent always thought this deeply about the food [...]

Amazing Vegan Food and New Flickr Feed

Posted by Spencer Hope Davis on Apr 5, 2010 in For the Love of Food, The Vegan Diaries

Being a Vegan is in large part, what you eat and what you won’t eat. The other and more important part is why and I’ve blogged on that beginning for me. I’ve been on this journey for about 6 weeks now and I feel wonderful. Remarkable. Something that has been a big part of my [...]

Why Vegan, Why Now

Posted by Spencer Hope Davis on Feb 21, 2010 in On My Mind Write Now, The Road Less Traveled, The Vegan Diaries

I was a vegetarian for 8 years followed by a time when I was a pescetarian (fish eater). A couple of years ago during incredible periods of stress and family loss I fell completely off my wagon and began eating meat. The obvious changes came in weight gain, digestive difficulties, and mood swings. This is [...]
