As mentioned above, our book giveaways this week are coming to you from author Carolyn Scott-Hamilton. Carolyn is an avid traveler but she found it quite difficult to find vegan friendly restaurants abroad.  She tired of having to pack her own foods or eat bread, fries and junky foods when she was away.  After realizing she could find and/or manipulate any menu to create a meal that satisfied her as well as her dining partners, she created the Healthy Voyager to show people that dietary restrictions should not ruin you or your travel mates’ trip, be it business or pleasure.  As of 2006, she and her husband, of opposing gastronomic tastes, have traveled and dined healthily and harmoniously while documenting it all on film for the Healthy Voyager Web Series.

About the book:
Explore a world of cuisines from the comfort of your own kitchen! If you’re looking to add some tasty international inspiration to your dining table, let The Healthy Voyager’s Global Kitchen be your guide. You’ll be treated to 150 of the best international recipes from across the globe—all veganized for your enjoyment. From Greece’s epic gyros, to hearty Colombian empanadas, to heavenly Japanese matcha green tea ice cream, you’ll globe-trot your way through the most flavorful plant-based fare this planet has to offer! With gluten-free, low-glycemic, soy-free, low-fat, and raw-food options, everyone can join in the fun of global plant-based cuisine, no matter what special diet they’re on.
