Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

I have created Wikipedia articles for dietitians and physicians associated with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics who authored their position papers on vegetarian diets.

  • [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7391493/ Position Paper on the vegetarian approach to eating] (1980)

Authors: Lydia Sonnenberg, Kathleen Keen Zolber, U. D. Register.

"The American Dietetic Association affirms that a well planned diet, consisting of a variety of largely unrefined plant foods supplemented with some milk and eggs (lacto-ovo vegetarian diet) meets all known nutrient needs. Furthermore, a total plant dietary can be made adequate by careful planning, giving proper attention to specific nutrients which may be in a less available form or in lower concentration or absent in plant foods."

  • [https://www.jandonline.org/article/S0002-8223(21)01980-5/fulltext Position of The American Dietetic Association: Vegetarian diets—technical support paper] (1988)

Authors: Suzanne Havala, Johanna Dwyer. Reviewers: Phyllis Acosta, George Eisman, Alice Marsh, Connie Metcalf, Patricia Mutch, U. D. Register, Kathleen Zolber.

"It is the position of The American Dietetic Association that vegetarian diets are healthful and nutritionally adequate when appropriately planned."

  • [http://web.mit.edu/vsg/INFO/Health/ADA_Position_Paper Position of the American Dietetic Association: vegetarian diets] (1993)

Authors: Suzanne Havala, Johanna Dwyer. Reviewers: Phyllis Acosta, Patricia Johnston, Mary Clifford, Winston Craig, Virginia Messina.

"A considerable body of scientific data suggests positive relationships between vegetarian diets and risk reduction for several chronic degenerative diseases and conditions, including obesity, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and some types of cancer. It is the position of The American Dietetic Association that vegetarian diets are healthful and nutritionally adequate when appropriately planned."

  • [http://web.archive.org/web/20230316230844/https://www.vrg.org/nutrition/adapaper.htm Position of the American Dietetic Association: vegetarian diets] (1997)

Authors: Virginia K. Messina, Kenneth I. Burke. Reviewers: Winston J. Craig, Johanna Dwyer, Suzanne Havala, D. Enette Larson, Reed Mangels, Lenore Hodges, Cyndi Reeser.

"Scientific data suggest positive relationships between a vegetarian diet and reduced risk for several chronic degenerative diseases and conditions, including obesity, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and some types of cancer. Vegetarian diets, like all diets, need to be planned appropriately to be nutritionally adequate. It is the position of The American Dietetic Association (ADA) that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, are nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases."

  • [https://www.vrg.org/nutrition/2003_ADA_position_paper.pdf Position of the American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada: Vegetarian diets] (2003)

Authors: Reed Mangels, Virginia Messina, Vesanto Melina.

"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association and the Dietitians of Canada that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases."

  • [https://www.andeal.org/vault/2440/web/JADA_VEG.pdf Position of the American Dietetic Association: vegetarian diets] (2009)

Authors: Winston J Craig, Reed Mangels.

"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes."

Wikipedia articles need to be created for:

  • Winston J. Craig
  • George Eisman
  • Patricia Johnston
  • D. Enette Larson

Kenneth I. Burke, Mary Clifford, Lenore Hodges, Cyndi Reeser, Connie Metcalf, Patricia Mutch, Lydia Sonnenberg do not qualify for a Wikipedia article as there is a lack of reliable sources that mention them. Psychologist Guy (talk) 20:23, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Earthling Ed (YouTube Channel)

Youtube channel made by Ed Winters, have not yet found an article made for his Youtube Channel-Earthling Ed, Which I see is a notable contribution to the Vegan Community, been unable to add it in the List of vegan and plant-based media as was advised an article has to exist for it. Anyone much familiar with his Channel. can intitiate an article for it. If there is an existing draft already please advise, so that we may help contribute to its publishing to the mainspace. Villkomoses (talk) 21:51, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

::Ed Winters has a draft, but nobody is working on it. I could probably complete it this year. Psychologist Guy (talk) 11:18, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

:::Awesome ! thanks, hopefully with his books being published , hopefully would add to his WP:RS . Villkomoses (talk) 13:35, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

BiteSizedVegan.org(Youtube Channel)

Youtube channel made by Emily Moran Barwick, have not yet found an article made for her Youtube Channel-BiteSizedVegan.org, Which I see is a notable contribution to the Vegan Community,covers a wide range of contributions from activism to education, been unable to add it in the List of vegan and plant-based media as was advised an article has to exist for it.If there is an existing draft already please advise, so that we may help contribute to its publishing to the mainspace. Cheers! Villkomoses (talk) 21:54, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

:I doubt a Wikipedia article will ever be created dedicated to a YouTube channel due to lack of sourcing. I find it unlikely that Emily Moran Barwick qualifies for an article at Wikipedia per lack of WP:RS. Psychologist Guy (talk) 11:16, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

::That's Ok, parking it here meantime to marinate, as her contributions to vegan education and awareness is significant to the vegan community. RS will build over time. Villkomoses (talk) 13:38, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

:::She hasn't been active on YouTube in 8 months, no new videos. Any ideas about that? I noticed a lot of vegan YouTubers are hardly active anymore. YouTube veganism was very popular around 2019-2022 but now seems to have died out. There are not many new influencers. Psychologist Guy (talk) 15:28, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

::::Hmm, well Mic the Vegan is not new, but still very active uploading content in YouTube, and he has a good habit of backing his claims and debunks with citations. Seems he has no article too here yet? Villkomoses (talk) 15:59, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

::::I receive emails every month from people in the vegan movement requesting to me to create articles but I don't create them because they are all modern people with very little sourcing. We have about 30 members of WP:VAV but only 4 are active (myself, Maynard, throughthemind etc). I am not really interested in living persons, as a historian 90% of the research I do is on deceased vegetarian and vegan pioneers. I did create a group sandbox but it hasn't been active. You may want to draft these articles yourself. I have my own list of 200+ historical articles to create, I am overloaded. Psychologist Guy (talk) 17:09, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

:::::It's cool, when you say "they are all modern people with very little sourcing. " do you mean they are not as mentioned by RS? or do you mean these modern vegans cite little sources for their claims?, Though I usually only do minor edits in the VAV articles(minor grammar checks, typos..) currently working on Veganism and vegetarianism in the Philippines and is still a drafts stage. More Veggie power for the Both of us and Cheers! Villkomoses (talk) 07:07, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

::::::There is a lack of reliable sourcing for vegan YouTube influencers so most will not be able to have a Wikipedia article per lack of WP:RS. The best sources are newspaper articles or book reviews. An example, Cheap Lazy Vegan has over 800K followers on YouTube but not many reliable sources mention her. It is not possible to create an article. I mostly create historical articles for deceased individuals. However, I have recently created a few articles for current vegan cookbook writers. Thank you for your edits, it is appreciated. Veg Historian (talk) 19:02, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::::Nevertheless, I appreciate your taking the time to look into this, indeed for awhile now the vegan community may have less newspaper articles or book reviews covering as the "mainstream" is mostly still omnivorous at best, and of course newspaper agencies partly being a business has to appeal to the "general " public, so I can understand. hopefully as time goes, the trend will reach a tipping point of change, we are like the 10% after all.. I do hope these wonderful ytube influencers who have made significant contributions to the vegan community and beyond. do not need to be deceased long after as well just to be "noticed" enough..Cheers!

Which current vegan chefs or cookbook writers need Wikipedia articles?

{{re|Classicfilms}} {{re|MaynardClark}}

I created an article for Richard Makin. Others that may qualify for an article that do not have articles include: Dana Shultz, Doug McNish, Calum Harris and Mark Reinfeld,

Katy Beskow, Richard Buckley, Eddie Garza, Madeleine Olivia, Saskia Sidey, Niki Webster. Veg Historian (talk) 18:49, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:Also Meera Sodha but she is plant-based not vegan. Veg Historian (talk) 18:53, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

::All of Meera Sodha's cookbooks have "vegan and vegetarian" in the subtitles, so I think she is ok for this template.-Classicfilms (talk) 04:24, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you. I will continue 'looking around' for the broad array of often TV-based vegan chefs and cookebook authors. My own thinking would be that some key topics ought to be abstracted from the kinds of issues these vegan writers explore in their cookbooks and in their online videos and TV programs and podcasts.MaynardClark (talk) 19:29, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Excellent, thank you on all counts for raising the issue of cookbooks, cooking shows, cooking podcasts. I've long felt that Julie Sahni should have a page, given how influential Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking was (1985). As for contemporary bloggers/authors - here is my wish list of people who may have enough WP:RS in the future, but I'm not sure about at the moment: Nisha Melvani, Maya Leinenbach, Kiki Nelson, Dora Ramírez, Danielle Brown, Justin P. Moore, Radhi Devlukia-Shetty. The James Beard Media awards (where cookbooks are listed) nominations will come out in May - and that may also offer more possibilities...-Classicfilms (talk) 04:10, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

::::Maya Leinenbach's first book is self-published, but she has a new one by DK press that is only available in German at the moment. However, she has indicated that an English translation is coming.-Classicfilms (talk) 04:15, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::There is also [https://www.publishersweekly.com/9780063322578 Catherine Perez] and [https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9781003478959/plant-forward-cuisine-ole-mouritsen-klavs-styrb%C3%A6k-mariela-johansen-jonas-drotner-mouritsen Ole G. Mouritsen]. The latter is interesting because he has a science background and has put out meat cookbooks in the past. More people are turning plant-based. I have lost count of how many plant-based cookbooks there are. I used to have a huge collection but sold most of them. Most of the recipes are very similar these-days. A lot of influencers copying each other on Tik Tok. The recent cookbooks do not have the same "feel" to the old 1940s or 1950s cookbooks which included much more simpler recipes. I think most modern plant-based cookbooks overdo the soy, lentils or chickpeas. Veg Historian (talk) 20:58, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::Classicfilms you are right about Julie Sahni, she would definately qualify for an article. I am not interested in Indian cooking so I wouldn't create that article but I will probably create an article for Calum Harris. Veg Historian (talk) 21:03, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Highlighting vegan cookbook and author themes and issues explored

Beyond recipes, many modern vegan chefs weave in deeper topics, like:

  • Sustainability and environmental impact — how plant-based eating reduces carbon footprints, water use, and deforestation.
  • Health and nutrition — focusing on balanced, nutrient-dense meals without animal products.
  • Cultural fusion and accessibility — blending global flavors, or creating budget-friendly, simple meals.
  • Animal rights and ethical food choices — making the moral case for veganism.
  • Inclusivity and dietary needs — tackling gluten-free, allergen-friendly, or whole-food approaches within veganism.

Ron Pickarski’s three-pass method is a thoughtful way to absorb a cookbook — the first read "like a novel" for philosophy about food (how they think and feel about food) feels especially valuable; then the second time to look for recipes to MAYBE try, then bookmarking and/or noting them; and finally, to selectively work through the recipes that he wants to try.. Many vegan chefs today seem to position themselves not just as recipe developers, but as food storytellers and advocates.MaynardClark (talk) 19:29, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

::Your post made me think about Michael Pollan if we push this discussion to the Plant-based diet template-particularly Cooked. No doubt his statement: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants" helped to shape the current plant-based movement. He isn't yet on the plant-based template, but I've often wondered if he should be.-Classicfilms (talk) 04:21, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

:::I think that this WikiProject has a defined scope, which we Wikipedian editors ought to honor. Surely nothing prevents us from citing contributing works that have 'informed' our vision and perspective. I have met and spoken with Michael Pollan at that Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health when I was there. Surely much more must be done to document vegetarian and vegan history, not only in America, but in Europe and the Americas. However, historical articles could give perspective to the development of eggless baking (in the Great Depression in the United States, when eggs were in short supply).

Lindsay Wagner

{{re|Classicfilms}} {{re|MaynardClark}} {{re|Throughthemind}}

Lindsay Wagner authored a vegan cookbook in 1990 "The High Road to Health: A Vegetarian Cookbook" [https://www.amazon.com/HIGH-ROAD-HEALTH-VEGETARIAN-COOKBOOK/dp/013536129X]. Although vegetarian was in the title, the cookbook was vegan. On Reddit 10 years ago somebody posted that Wagner returned to eating meat over a health condition [https://www.reddit.com/r/vegan/comments/37dc38/lindsay_wagner_the_bionic_woman_must_eat_meat_or/?rdt=54113]. I think it would be worthwile to add mention of Wagner's cookbook to her article but we need further sourcing on her own diet. Between 1991 and 1994, Wagner was giving vegetarian cooking lessons. I presume she was only vegetarian for a few years sadly but any additional sourcing would be useful. Veg Historian (talk) 01:54, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

:Lindsay Wagner did indeed author The High Road to Health: A Vegetarian Cookbook in 1990, which was vegan despite the title’s use of "vegetarian." She also gave vegetarian cooking lessons from 1991 to 1994. However, after 1994, there’s limited information about her dietary choices. While a Reddit post suggests she may have returned to eating meat due to health reasons, further sourcing is needed to verify this. Additional research would help clarify her dietary preferences after the early 90s. MaynardClark (talk) 02:03, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

::I have just managed to find the sourcing. Wagner was still a vegetarian in 1998, found a source on that as she wrote the foreword for the 3rd edition of the Vegetarian Resource Group's Guide to National Foods Restaurants [https://www.newspapers.com/image/516404634]. However, she gave it up in 1999 and added fish and poultry to her diet [https://www.newspapers.com/image/1026436571]. She still avoids dairy though. Veg Historian (talk) 02:06, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Tsk tsk! The philosophical problem of evil is so pervasive. So, is the Lindsay Wagner article still in the project? MaynardClark (talk) 02:10, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

::::Yes anything related to veganism or vegetarianism including ex-veg persons should be included in the Project. I will update Wagner's article. If you know of any other actor and actress who authored veg cookbooks that are not mentioned on Wikipedia let us know. But we have covered most of them and I have spent a lot of time researching such cookbooks in the past. I used to own over 200 veg cookbooks, but I sold them all. Most of the cookbooks are on archive. If you want to check out Wagner's cookbook you can borrow it [https://archive.org/details/highroadtohealth0000wagn_m9z1]. Having read it myself, it isn't that great. She fell into the "all fat is bad" myth. John A. McDougall was largely responsible for promoting that. Veg Historian (talk) 02:28, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::Maynard, whilst we are on the topic of cookbooks, do you have any information about Janet Hunt? She is one of few cookbook authors to have authored many on vegetarianism. For example she authored A Vegetarian in the Family in 1984 and The Compassionate Gourmet: The Very Best of International Vegan Cuisine in 1986. In total I think she authored around 12 veg cookbooks which is impressive. The only thing I have seen about her so far is her birthdate 1942 and she was a member of the The Vegan Society. Is she still alive? Some research would be useful here. I will look tomorrow. Veg Historian (talk) 03:15, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::Looks like you covered most of the discussion. However, I think that there needs to be a broader sense of what is and what is not included. Some of the most influential US cookbook authors are what I would now call "Plant-Based" rather than fully vegetarian and it's not an issue. I'm thinking of Deborah Madison, Frances Moore Lappé, Mollie Katzen etc. In fact, Madhur Jaffrey wrote a highly influential vegetarian cookbook, while she is not a vegetarian herself. In addition, the term "vegetarian" itself is layered - people in some parts of the world would only define a vegetarian diet as one that excludes eggs and plant-based items that serve as "mock" meat, as well as meat, fish etc. If someone wrote a cookbook that had an impact on the history of vegetarianism, it should be included if it was influential. The question really becomes, how notable was Wagner's book? While I remember the book itself, I'm not sure it was as influential as say Linda McCartney's cookbooks (and eventual food company). -Classicfilms (talk) 03:38, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::And I should add that I was a huge fan of The Bionic Woman, and thus of Wagner as well. So my question is ideological rather than stemming from a personal opinion.-Classicfilms (talk) 03:42, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Scope of Nonkilling article

Currently, the article Nonkilling largely deals only with the political facet of the concept as put forth by the Center for Global Nonkilling. Nonkilling, however, is a traditional and age-old philosophical concept of the Indian Subcontinent, appearing in ancient literature starting from the Vedas, where it originates from the concept of karma and ahimsa and gives rise to the culture of the region, including sattvic dietary concepts, vegetarianism, nonviolence, animal rights, altruism, etc. gradually morphing into modern forms such as veganism, anti-war movement, world peace, abolition of capital punishment, etc. That said, all these facets should be discussed under the scope of this article. The article needs to be expanded to include all these and other generic concepts. Seeking input from other editors and regular contributors on these subjects. Thanks.

Pair of COI edit requests on Dale Vince Talk page

Hello, I'm an employee at Green Knight Studios, which is owned by the green energy industrialist Dale Vince. I wanted to call attention to a pair of active COI edit requests intended to improve Mr. Vince's article. Neither of them have thus far generated much interest from independent editors, so I thought I would reach out here, since this WikiProject is listed on the article's Talk page.

The first request concerns expanding the Early life and career section of the article to include some of the more notable and widely covered developments in Mr. Vince's career. The second request seeks to update part of the Politics section so that it mentions a few recent developments in an ongoing dispute. If this sounds interesting to anybody here, I would deeply appreciate your help in reviewing one or both of these requests. Thanks! Pedalpowered (talk) 09:20, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

:This Wikiproject is only concerned with content related directly to veganism or vegetarianism. Politics is outside of the scope of this WikiProject. On Dale Vince's Wikipedia article there is hardly any mention of veganism. In fact there is only a four word line which says "Vince is a vegan". Obviously this could be expanded. Veg Historian (talk) 19:46, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

::Well, I read early in the article that: "Vince became a major shareholder and chairman of semi-professional football club Forest Green Rovers in 2010, implementing eco-friendly initiatives and turning it into the world's first all-vegan football club." To my thinking process, "the world's first all-vegan football club" is noteworthy and relevant for our WikiProject. MaynardClark (talk) 21:19, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Fake vegans unfortunately. They are "vegan" in their own football ground only. Out of their home ground they all eat meat, eggs and dairy, and they have been caught many times. For example they were caught eating [https://archive.is/FB17L chicken and fish and chips] and [https://archive.is/Rwv7n red meat pizzas] etc. None of their players identify as vegan outside of the club. Veg Historian (talk) 21:41, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

::::User:Veg Historian and User:MaynardClark: Apologies if my query falls outside the scope of this WikiProject. I posted here because this WP is listed on the Dale Vince Talk page and because he is himself well known as a vegan and strongly promotes veganism and plant-based eating as crucial for the planet. So I thought I might find an editor in this space who's interested in fielding one or both of the open edit requests. If that's the case for either one of you, I would really appreciate the help. If not, please don't feel any obligation. Cheers! Pedalpowered (talk) 15:49, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::I prefer to steer clear of both disinformation and accusations of it, yet I believe factual accuracy matters greatly to truth-seeking editors. Increasingly, I find myself wary of "wayward words" in public-facing media—whether print, digital, or broadcast. Regarding Dale Vince, the claim that he is vegetarian (or vegan) should be clearly verifiable, ideally with a high-quality source. As for Forest Green Rovers being labeled the "world's first all-vegan football club," that does reflect a public stance aligned with plant-based advocacy, but it also raises questions about the actual scope and authenticity of claims by and about that group. This Talk page thread leaves me with mixed feelings. Let's not kid ourselves. MaynardClark (talk) 16:23, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::::Maynard, Dale Vince is a not a long-term vegan and he has some odd views on the topic. He says that "true vegan food comes from plants" and that processed vegan food is not vegan [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/j_WUzjB7FVY]. He is confused about this because even processed or ultraprocessed vegan products like the Beyond Burger are still from plants obviously. It doesn't matter if someone eats a processed vegan diet, they are still vegan if they avoid all animal products. Dale Vince has a networth of $145 million so of course he can afford an entirely whole food plant-based diet, the majority of vegans cannot. I have been at work all day today and all I have eaten is two bowls of processed cereal, a vegan cookie and some nuts. That is reality. This idea that you cannot eat processed foods and be a vegan is bizarre. Veg Historian (talk) 17:19, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

[[Vance Lehmkuhl]]

{{re|MaynardClark}}

It is not worth creating a Wikipedia article with 0 or 1 reference. There are deletionists on Wikipedia who will just submit that article for afd and they will not spend time looking for sources. There is WP:RS for Vance Lehmkuhl out there like this interview [https://www.phillymag.com/be-well-philly/2016/07/06/vance-lehmkuhl-v-for-veg/] which gives details about his life or these [https://whyy.org/articles/new-center-will-highlight-philadelphias-vegan-roots/], [https://americanvegan.org/member/lehmkuhl-vance-pa/], [https://hiddencityphila.org/2025/03/a-new-book-celebrates-philadelphias-rich-vegetarian-history/].

My advice is to always add between 5 and 12 reliable references if you create a new article, that way it will not be deleted. Also per WP:RSPAMAZON it is not a good idea to link to promotional Amazon links. You will risk getting the article deleted. I am giving you this advice because I do not want to see your hard work removed. It takes a long time to create an article. As stated it is never a good idea to create an article with no sourcing. Veg Historian (talk) 21:18, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

:Others may wish to reorganize this article to read better. The article ought to avoid redundancy. IMO, this draft of the article on Vance Lehmkuhl is already quite comprehensive and well-structured, but there are several opportunities for improvement in terms of tone, flow, citation, consistency, and redundancy reduction. MaynardClark (talk) 21:31, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

::The article definitely qualifies it just needs a bit of work. I can help out with it this week, I will look for more sources. Veg Historian (talk) 21:48, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Janet Hunt

Janet Hunt is a prolific British author known for her extensive contributions to vegetarian and vegan cookery literature during the 1980s and 1990s. Her work aimed to make plant-based eating accessible and appealing to a broad audience, including families and individuals new to vegetarianism.

Published Works

Hunt authored numerous cookbooks that catered to both vegetarians and vegans:

  • A Vegetarian in the Family: Meatless Recipes for the Odd One Out (1984): This book offers practical solutions for integrating vegetarian meals into family settings where not everyone follows a vegetarian diet.
  • The Very Best of Vegetarian Cooking (1984): A comprehensive collection of vegetarian recipes emphasizing flavor and variety.
  • Complete Vegetarian Cook Book (1983): Includes a special section on vegan cookery, providing a range of recipes for those seeking dairy-free options. AbeBooks
  • 365 + 1 Vegetarian Main Meals: A Year of Ideas for Delicious Wholefood Dishes (1987): Offers a vegetarian main course for every day of the year, promoting wholefood ingredients. Goodreads+1AbeBooks+1
  • The Caring Cook: Cruelty-free Cooking for Beginners (1987): Published by The Vegan Society, this book introduces readers to vegan cooking with simple and compassionate recipes. AbeBooks
  • Animal Friendly Meals for All Seasons (1997): Co-authored with Maggie and Lyn Allen, this book provides seasonal vegan recipes, emphasizing animal-friendly cooking. All Bookstores

Biographical Information

Janet Hunt was born in 1942 and was a member of The Vegan Society. Her cookbooks reflect a commitment to promoting vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. However, detailed information about her personal life, including her current status, is limited.

Hunt's work remains a valuable resource for those interested in plant-based cooking, offering a variety of recipes that cater to both beginners and seasoned cooks.

:I agree with you, thanks for highlighting this here. Please talk to {{re|Throughthemind}}, they have done fantastic work on creating articles for vegetarian cookbook writers. They might be able to help with this. Also there is a photograph and info about Janet Hunt in these newspaper articles [https://www.newspapers.com/image/876817244/], [https://www.newspapers.com/image/876817281], [https://www.newspapers.com/image/932493206/] Veg Historian (talk) 21:29, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
