	Don't Have a Cow #3 Don't Have a Cow is back with a third issue, and a fourth one is on the way, so you know this zine is here to stay. Once again a good mix of recipes, advice and philosophy. Bioregionalism, bird personalities, the severe impact of a corn-only diet on cows, the process of artificial insemination and debunking Hitler's vegetarian and animal lover attributes are among the more philosophical and theoretical topics touched. From a practical perspective, John writes about foods to stock up on, then goes on to describe a bunch of very fast and easy meals (baked potato, pita with hummus, nachos, etc). Then he republishes PETA's list of "99.9% vegan" products. Personally I think this idea of "mostly" vegan is as bunk as vegetarians who "eat chicken once in a while", but hey, I cheat too so I might as well know what's out there. There is also articles about marrying a meat eater and dining out with this species. Tons of quotes and funny cartoons as is usual for John's zines. Recipes in this issue (* are recipes I've tried): Italian bread Microwave beer bread Corn Chowder* Mexican corn, tomatillo & red bean stew Mexican soup - ultra simple Tomato lentil soup Tomato soup - best ever Vegetable miso soup Beans and corn on rice* Black bean and garlic enchilada pie Black bean and tofu nachos Cajun beans and pasta* Chop suey Garlic-crazy garbanzo pasta* Indian-spiced sweet potato pot-pie* Meat-free loaf (definitive version)* Good brown gravy (for any occasion)* Pot roast Southern-style pasta* Spaghetti Spinach stir-fry Tamale pie Carrot cake Chocolate pudding Graham cracker crust Pears with coconut Out of stock! Will be available again in the future, feel free to write to accelerate the process.
	Don't Have a Cow #2 More good writing on veganism, and accompanying recipes. In this issue, articles touch topics as varied as Buddha and the cows, surviving the holidays, problems with raw foods, GM foods might help animals (!), dieting for vegetarians, foods that trigger migraines, and lots more. I like the random but thoughtful quotes that John includes in this zine, much like he does in his other zine, Imagine. Recipes in this issue: Biscuits Easy rice and Raisin Hot Cereal Extraordinary Oatmeal Raisin Rice Race breakfast Avocado Raisin Salad Green bean casserole Basque Stew Kraut Soup New Englad-Style Chowder Curry Tempeh with Saffron Rice Dragon Bowl Sarah & Tanya's Dressing Garbanzo Bean and Sun-dried Tomato Rice Dish Garbanzo Veggie Pasta in Creamy Curry Sauce Mexican Lasagna Pesto Potato-Bacon Casserole Seitan Stir-Fry Spicy Szechuan Noodles Stuffed Bell Peppers Sweet and Sour Tofu with Vegetables Tempeh Paprikash Tetrazzini Vegetable Curry Blueberry Nectarine Ice Cream Chocolate Turtle Truffle Tort Nut Brittle Out of stock!

	Don't Have a Cow #1 This vegan cookzine is a good complement to Marcie's Book of Vegan Recipes that I also sell on this site. This zine is written by John Johnson of Imagine and he sticks to his no-nonsense writing. Along with tons of recipes, he writes a good primer on what it means to be a vegetarian/vegan, and how you manage to substitute the animal products that you remove from your diet once you make the change over. He reviews Time's extremely bad "vegetarian" issue, which I had the bad luck of reading at my dentist's office last summer. On the other hand, John also reviews some whacky vegan beliefs. John also peppers the issue with interesting quotes, images and fun facts about vegetarianism. Here's a list of the recipes included in this cookzine: French toast Hash browns -- country style Pancakes Scrambled Eggz Southwestern Hash Curried sweet potatoes and peas Potato salad Seasoned Rice Three bean salad Apple potato curry stew Chili Chinese soup Pumpkin soup with wild rice and apples Sauerkraut soup Spicy split pea soup Barbecue tofu stir-fry with asparagus Black-eyed peas and collard greens Cashew chick'n casserole Falafel (yes, make your own mix!)

	Food Geek #5 This is a zine about food and related topics. Carrie starts the zine with her food journey through China during which she found her comfort food, utterly unavailable there. Shawn Granton draws a comic listing where to find cheap eateries in various North American cities for people on the road, Gianni Simone tells us what is the best treat for two Italians after 20 days of restless travelling in India, Heather Seggel writes about how she managed to make yummy food while on the edge of homelessness, and Vernon Maulsby tells us about how being even poorer can lead you to eat KFC from some odd places... Anne tells us about all the good food places in Newark, and Shane Williams writes about Ramen Prison "Spreads." List of recipes: Yummy potato burritos (Scottish-) Indian potatoes S+M peanut sauce Suzie's fantabulous Commuter's Salad A tasty sauté Chicken (or anything) ŕ la King Pakora (the "real national food of Scotland!") Colcannon Size: quarter-letter, pages, $1.50
	Food Geek #4 I like Food Geek because it has a variety of content. There are some recipes, some food tales, discussions and/or rants about various food items and other food adventures. Some of the stories are illustrated with comics and other drawings, which gives some extra charm to the zine. Amongst the food tales, there is the Taco Bravo story, the Coffee Buying Dilemna, When I Was Thinking of Yoplait, Surrealist Salad and other reminiscences. In terms of discussion topics, you get to learn how to grow your own sprouts, the demise of the Lotus Vegetarian Café in Orange, CA, the Top 5 faux meats and the mysteries of Haggis. Now for the recipes: The Pretzallo Soulful Stir-fry Fun Stir-fry Angie's one-pan pasta meal Mystic Holy Rites of Polenta Post-Coitus Pancakes (!!!) Violet Jones' Kickin' Tofu Tacos Truffles Size: quarter-letter, pages, $1.50
	Soy Not Oi! This is the legendary punk rock vegan cookbook, the grandfather of DIY radical vegan cookbooks! While this book has tons of recipes, it's also a great beginner's guide to veganism. Sections include: No-Nos, or how to know what foods to avoid, vegan sources of nutrients, how to brew your own beer, etc. On top of that, many of the contributors discuss why they are vegan and how they got there. The recipes cover all the continents and most of the great cuisines that have anything to do with vegetarianism. Some recipes are very precise, others are "make-up your own quantities" for when you just want some guidances. Particularly good when you have a weird selection of vegetables in your fridge... Okay, so there are a LOT of recipes in there: Essentials Soy Milk Tofu Steve and Harmonies Wheat Gluten (Wheat Meat Mate!) Bread Roux Unbelieveable Amazing Southwestern-Style Spice Mix Beans, Beans, the Musical Fruit Jackie's Shampoo for Oily Hair Shampoo for Blondes or Wannabe Blondes Shampoo for Great Brunette Maintenance Breakfast Foods Banana Flops Fabulous Fucking French Toast for Freaks Punk Pancakes Waffles Marvelous Mid-day Muffins "Rooster's a Crowin'" Brown Rice Corn Cakes wth Peanut Sauce Caesar's Favorite Cornbread J@acknJoel's Diabolical Doughnuts Lunches / Quick Fix Foods Howdy-Do Sloppy Joels Tofu Burgers Dagwood Bumstead's favorite Sandwich Pandora's Pasta Salad Syrian Green Beans Grilled Corn-on-the-Cob Bettina's Noodles with Beans Baked Apples "Ox" Lentil Paste Tabouli Salad Cous Cous You Won't Feel wful About This Falafel Fry Bread "Isle of Lesbos" Stuffed Grape Leaves Pasta al Chaos Main Dishes Barley Soup/Stew Tomato-Barley Soup jackie's Famous Green Gazpacho J@ck and Eryc's Hot and Spice Chinese Soup Minestrone Alla genovese Basic Potato Stew Chick Pea Samosas Indian vegetable Stew Veg Sushi Warzone's "Mexican" Bean Stew Chaos Crust Tofu Chili "Oh shit, I'd better cook the vegetables before they turn rotten!"
