Vegan French Soul Food on Divisadero

Amy's No Cheese Dairy Free Roasted Vegetable Pizza

This really is good!  It could pass for an amuse-gueules too, I think!

Vegan Soda Bread at Lucky

I was looking for Amy's dairy-free vegetable pizza at Lucky--something they don't have there.  (I bought a Daiya on with non-dairy cheese.  Then I got an Amy vegetable pizza at Safeway.)  But by chance I found something I'm looking forward to trying:  Soda bread that's dairy and egg free.

I'm sorry the picture of the label with ingredients isn't very clear, but here it is.

An Open Letter to Heather Knight

Dear Heather,

A friend and I are going to see "Bullitt" tonight and hoping it will be as much fun as "Sister Act" was.  But I'm wondering whether I'm missing information.  I saw the big Culture Desk section on "Bullitt,"  but I missed the meet-up with Gordon Harvey, who sounds like my kind of man--even vegan!

On the subject of vegan, it did startle me that your big meet-up place on the otherwise environment-friendly 49-Mile Anything-But-Drive Route was a burger place.  The Chronicle is often reporting on climate change, and yet the Food and Wine Section and even the 49-Mile Route is meat-heavy, indicating climate change denial.  (I won't even mention the suffering of the animals in factory farms, including the human animals who work in them.)

So I guess I have  two questions.  How can I find out about meet-ups like that with Gordon Harvey, and why don't the otherwise wonderful Chronicle writers promote a plant-based diet?

(I enjoyed your podcast with Gordon Harvey, but I didn't detect a Southern accent.)

Thank you!

Tina
