Her first career was as a stage actress in New York. Leah then wrote Vegan cookery books, before studying at the University of Edinburgh, obtaining a degree in history followed by doctoral research on social life on the Atholl estate in the eighteenth century
Her focus was on women’s history and Scottish history.
This is a visually beautiful book from Great Britain, someone took a lot of time and care with the pictures, the layout, the fonts, the metric conversions. But as much as I love cookbooks, something about this one doesn't inspire me to cook. I don't know why - I just don't think I'm ever going to make Arame & Tofu pancakes, for example.
I think perhaps that the font of the recipe names puts me off even if it's pretty, but it's also that almost every recipe requires something that needs a trip to Whole Foods. Yeast extract, for example. Hijiki. Chestnuts. It gets tiring. And there are some names not clear for American cooks - what is soft vegetable fat? Is that shortening?
This is for the folks who have quick access to a natural foods store and eat lots of tofu and soy - a very traditional vegan cookbook of that vein.
