It's here – finally!

I have in my hot little hands a finished copy of my new cookbook, Celebrate Vegan: 200 Life-Affirming Recipes for Occasions Big and Small. It took about 2 years to complete from concept to finish, and seeing it all "grown up" and ready to go out into the world in its own is a bit surreal. And talk about coincidences: the book centers on celebrations and holidays, and my box of authors' copies arrives on Halloween. Spooky!

To celebrate my book of vegan celebrations -- and to mark the end of Vegan Mofo 2011, I am hosting one last, grand finale contest. To enter, simply follow me [@theurbanvegan] on Twitter.   I'll announce winner in a few days. [Please spread the word!]

And as a special added bonus... if you leave a comment here, telling me what you'd like to see more of on my blog [eg, raw recipes, decadent recipes, travel tips], you'll be eligible to win a second, blog-only prize. I'll also announce the blog-only winner –and prize – in a few days.

Happy Halloween and good luck!
