Welcome to The Island Vegan!

Hello and welcome to The Island Vegan!  After being vegan for about three years, I recently moved to a small island off the coast of Maine.  This blog is a chronicle of my adventures with living, teaching, and being vegan in a very small, very isolated community.

What this blog is: A place where you’ll find recipes, product and restaurant reviews, suggestions for how to manage vegan cooking when you can’t lay your hands on various vegan ingredients, and occasional rants about how vegan recipe authors always seem to assume that everyone can always get nutritional yeast and raw cashews any time they want.  More generally, a place where I’ll talk about the ups and downs of life on an island.

What this blog isn’t: This is not a vegan 101 blog.  If you want to know about why people go vegan, what the deal is with B12, or where we get our protein, there are lots of great resources elsewhere on the internet.

Who should read this blog:
Vegans who don’t have easy access to a natural food store, Asian market, or other place to get fancy vegan ingredients
Omnivores trying to figure out what the heck to feed your vegan friends
New vegans who are still a little intimidated by the idea of cashew cheese
Lazy vegans (which is to say, all of us at one time or another)
Anyone who loves food adventures

Stay tuned for further developments!
