But do you find yourself experiencing one or more of these symptoms:

I’ve been vegetarian for 17 years, and vegan for 3, and I’m having a difficult time believing that I have only JUST discovered the magic of the pressure cooker.

At Vegan Mainstream, we have had the pleasure of working with Lani Muelrath for the past year as our Health & Fitness Expert. Lani is a wealth of information and an information that we are proud to call part of our team. And now she is coming out with a new book! So we turned the tables a bit and had Lani in for an interview to tell us all about her new book, what’s in it, who it’s for…just to whet your imagination and interest for the big release at the beginning of February!
