Vegan Planet Countdown + Giveaway!

VeganPlanetNewCover-266x300

1/14/14 Update: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.  Thank you to all who entered and congratulation to the winners!

In less than a week, the new revised edition of Vegan Planet will become available and I couldn’t be more excited.  To celebrate, I’ll be giving away three of these spiffy Vegan Planet aprons to three lucky winners. 

apron

So many people have been writing to tell me how much they love the old Vegan Planet.  For many of you, it was the first vegan cookbook you ever owned.  And I know you’ll love the new revised edition even more — it has lots of new recipes, plus the tried-and-true recipes have been revised and updated.  Among the new bells and whistles:  many of the recipes now call for less oil and the interior pages also  have an updated design.

Variously dubbed the “vegan joy of cooking,” the “vegan bible,” and the “ultimate vegan cookbook,” Vegan Planet is a classic that has withstood the test of time.  If it’s new to you, I hope you enjoy it for the first time.  If it’s already an old favorite, I hope you like the new edition even more.

Now about the apron giveaway….

TO ENTER:

1. Leave a comment at the end of this post.  It can be why you’re looking forward to the new edition of Vegan Planet, your favorite memory/recipe of the old Vegan Planet, or why you want to win the apron!

2. For a SECOND chance to win:  Go to the Vegan Planet Facebook page and Like the page.  If you already Like the page, then leave a comment on the page (it can be the same comment you left on this post) and then come back to this post and leave a SECOND comment telling me you Liked the Vegan Planet Facebook page and/or left a comment there.

The contest ends on Tuesday, January 14th at midnight.  Three winners will be announced here (and on the Vegan Planet Facebook Page) on Wednesday, January 15.

Good luck and many thanks to all of you who helped make the original Vegan Planet a best-selling classic over the past ten years.  Here’s to 10 more great years for the new edition!

 Fine Print Bonus Giveaway:  In addition to giving away three aprons I will also be giving away one of my cookbooks (winner’s choice!) — so now you have another reason to enter and another way to win!

  • Mark Hawthorne January 8, 2014, 12:49 pm

    This is my all-time favorite cookbook. I can’t pick just ONE recipe! I very much need an apron to demonstrate to everyone in the house who the REAL cook is.

  • Kim Y January 8, 2014, 12:51 pm

    I have 3 of your cookbooks & they are my go to source for excellent recipes. { You are the SPICEMASTER}. I made the farfalle/cabbage recipe from Quick-Fix Vegan p.80 last night. 4 stars @ our house. We couldn’t be vegan w/o you. How could I prowl the kitchen w/o your apron ?

  • Nicole January 9, 2014, 10:13 am

    I’ve lost 70 pounds eating vegan. I’ve only recently discovered your wonderful books (“Vegan on the Cheap,” “Vegan Fire & Spice”) and would love to build my Robin Robertson library!

  • Tom McCracken January 9, 2014, 10:31 am

    I WANT THE PLANET TO BE TOTALLY VEGAN….

    Family has been Vegan for 3 years and it’s been wonderful.
    I do cooking mainly on the weekend, but I am always
    looking for new recipes to try, so I would live to
    win your book. I could really use an apron since I don’t
    Have one anyone after retiring from the US Navy after
    20 years of service as a Chief Cook!

  • Debra January 10, 2014, 3:58 pm

    Dare I say the PERFECT planet would of course be a truly “Vegan Planet.” That’s why I would LOVE the apron. It would remind me what we’re striving for. 🙂 I’m a vegan foodie. I love to connect with new, vegan cookbooks! I am actually aspiring to write one myself… it’s in my Five Year Plan. 🙂 Right now, I’m busy perfecting recipes! Find me @TheVeganNana on twitter and Pinterest! Best wishes!! Veg on! <3

  • Jillian January 10, 2014, 5:05 pm

    I’m currently enjoying 1,000 vegan recipes. I just realized I’ve never sat down and enjoyed reading a cook book from front to back. Every other cookbook I flip through the index, pick out something that sounds interesting and give if a try. Not so here! I want to read every word , and try every treat. I HAD to do some more research on Robin Robertson and, lo and behold! A new book is coming out. This is my very next purchase. And so excited about the apron!

  • Joni January 10, 2014, 5:23 pm

    Even though I already own all of Robin’s cookbooks (including Unplugged written with her husband,) I am helpless to resist an updated version!

  • Michaela January 10, 2014, 5:48 pm

    I love ethnic food and learning how to make food from different cultures around the world, so this is right up my alley!

  • Rachel Smith January 10, 2014, 6:11 pm

    I like the old began planet for the quality and variety of recipes- and I look fwd to the new one because it won’t be falling apart like my old one 🙂

  • Melissa Chapman January 10, 2014, 6:13 pm

    As I have told you before, Vegan Planet was my first vegan cookbook. And having helped you test for the new and improved version of Vegan Planet has me so psyched for this latest edition!

  • Debbie @ Healthy Running Mom January 11, 2014, 3:38 am

    I’m always looking for new recipes. The old cookbook has so many amazing recipes that I use often, can’t wati to get my hands on the new one!

  • Kathy Downey January 11, 2014, 10:53 am

    Yes, I would call Vegan Planet the “bible” of vegan cookbooks! My first vegan cookbook, and when friends interested in converting to veganism/learning to cook vegan meals, it’s always the the book I suggest they purchase – before any other. My copy is beside me as I type – its binding has loosened, the cover is furled, the pages are recipe-stained, numerous placeholders help me find favorite, oft-made dishes. The “Drunken” Noodles absolutely rock! Vegan Planet rocks!

  • jeni cecil January 11, 2014, 11:47 am

    I tried the recipe for West African Vegetable Stew this weekend. It’s OUTSTANDING. I wanted something comfort-foodie to have on hand for heat-and-eat meals while I’m in rehearsals for a show, and I needed something different to break of the monotony, and this recipe fit the bill beautifully. It’s flavorful and gorgeous – all those colorful veggies! It’s definitely a keeper in my arsenal of international recipes.

  • KellyM January 13, 2014, 12:39 pm

    Hello! i was pleasantly surprised at just how tasty all of the recipes are in the (i guess old) vegan planet recipe book… My brother in law bought his mom the book when we were doing a health detox and were eating mainly raw and vegan food.. i’ve already prepared many of the dishes from that book, and not one has left me disappointed! They are spectacular! Thank you for sharing the wonderful recipes in that amazing book.

    • Yulia Fedun January 14, 2014, 12:40 am

Now I plan on buying the new Revised Vegan Planet in the kindle version so I will have my favorite cookbook with me when I travel or I’m shopping and need to pick up the ingredients for a recipe and I forgot my list. Thank you for all the wonderful vegan recipes you have shared throughout the years!

  • marti January 14, 2014, 9:13 am
