Happy New Year! We wish everyone a bountiful, healthy and prosperous year. Believe it or not, as we finish the manuscript for our upcoming book on Asian vegan cuisine, we are beginning to work on the table of contents for our follow-up book on European vegan cuisine. If you have any favorites, please send us your ideas. We would love to hear your suggestions. The recipes can come from any country in Europe. Please email us at info@veganfusion.com. Please include "European recipe suggestions" in the subject line. We are also planning on offering chef trainings and workshops on the mainland in the upcoming year. We would love to hear from you if you are interested in attending and if you are willing to help facilitate an event in your area. Please email Mark at mark@veganfusion.com. We still have a few spaces left in our February Chef Training on Kaua'i and our raw food workshop in Los Angeles in April. Please see below for details. Please read on for our Mexican Tortilla Soup recipe from our book, The 30-Minute Vegan.

Please enjoy this free recipe courtesy of The 30-Minute Vegan. This is a wonderful soup to keep you warm during the winter months. This Mexican specialty is best enjoyed with a more traditional style of tortilla chip - the kind that are a little thicker than your average chip and super crunchy. We offer a recipe to make your own tortilla chips if you have a little more time and ambition. Click here for our Mexican Tortilla Soup recipe
