Sarah Kramer is a vegan cookbook superstar!
Combining her love of food and her love of animals into a home-made cookbook zine to give to friends and family as x-mas presents. Reaction to the zine was so overwhelming that she realized that she was on to something special and her aspirations to do something with her life that made a difference in the world soon became a reality.
This tiny little zine grew into the best selling cookbook How It All Vegan (which has sold over a quarter of a million copies and is often referred to by fans as “The Vegan Bible”) only to be followed by it’s triumphant sequel The Garden of Vegan and La Dolce Vegan both of which are hot on HIAV heels as best sellers. Sarah’s last book Vegan A Go-Go is a mini-compilation of the “best of recipes” from the first three books and also includes 25 new recipes. This tiny book can fit in your pocket and is perfect for traveling.
Sarah’s newest work is a 2010 Calendar that hit shelves in the summer of ’09. Also look for the 10th anniversary edition of HIAV which includes new recipes, new introduction and beautiful food photos!
HIAV has also been awarded the 2003/2004 Veg News Veggie award for Best Veg Cookbook. Sarah was awarded Veg News Veggie award for favourite cookbook author in 2005 and a M-Award in 2006 for Favourite Book for LDV.
Sarah is known for her sassy vintage style and layman’s approach to Veganism, and has been joyfully spreading the Vegan gospel to anyone who will listen. Appearing on national TV
shows like Canada AM and W-5 as well as local shows like New Day Live, Breakfast Television and Go Magazine, she has also appeared as a guest on numerous radio stations such as CBC, NPR, Vegan Freak Radio and Animal Voices Radio. Sarah also does live cooking appearances at festivals such as Word on The Street, Earth Save events and Vegetarian Conferences throughout Canada and the United States.
A self confessed web junkie, Sarah created a safe haven at her website GoVegan.net for Vegan and curious Vegans to meet and talk about issues. She has written columns for Herbivore Magazine and Veg News as well as running The Tattoo Zoo with her husband/artist Gerry Kramer. When she’s not at the tattoo shop, or working on her photography she’s in her kitchen working hard on perfecting recipes for her cookbooks.
Sarah was born and bred in Regina, Saskatchewan and hopped on a train in 1988 and headed west for Victoria BC, where she has lived ever since. She enjoys long walks on the beach. She laughs loudly during movies…even when nobody else is laughing. She loves puppies and kittens and is scared to go into the basement by herself. She lives with her husband Gerry and Fergus the Dog, on a nice street somewhere near the beach in Victoria.
Sarah believes that Veganism is not just about food, but is a positive compassionate lifestyle choice. She believes the choices we make, however small (from the food that we eat to the shoes that we choose to buy) have a direct impact on how the world turns. Never one to bash people over the head with an aggressive message, Sarah believes that it only takes one tiny spark to start a fire and she has a pack of matches and is ready to burn!
