My name is Elyse and I wrote a cookbook called Veggie Teens: A Cookbook and Guide for Vegetarian Teenagers. It’s for teenage vegetarians, teenagers hoping to convince their parents to let them try becoming a vegetarian, vegetarians of any age, and anybody else who loves to cook and eat great food. I’ve been a vegetarian for two years now. I decided to write this cookbook for a school project called “Project Imagine.” My dad is a chef and my mom is a doctor so a vegetarian cookbook seemed like the perfect idea. From the moment I started, I knew this would be more than a school project because there had to be thousands of teenagers out there just like me. Just because we don't like to eat animals doesn't mean we don't like to eat! I'd love to hear your comments and ideas - just post them in this blog. You can also buy your own copy of Veggie Teens here: Spiral bound for $17.95 (plus 3-day shipping) or E-book for 12.95 (will be delivered to your email box now)!

Wow Elyse, Congratulations on making such a big life change! I became a vegetarian about four years ago and my husband did about five years ago, we are also the only ones in a family of huge meat eaters who are vegetarian. Congratulations and keep up a great site :)

Elyse, what an inspiration you are! I just read about your journey from the "Inspire Me Today" newsletter I receive. I also get the Meatless Mondays newsletter as well.
I'm not total vegetarian (not yet anyway :), but eat a lot less meat than I used to.
Thanks for sharing your story and best wishes to you.
I can't wait to try your Blueberry Peach Almond Crisp!
