Vegan Inspiration Cookbook

Vegan Inspiration Cookbook by
Vegan Chef Todd Dacey

The Vegan Inspiration cookbook shows how a whole-food, organic, balanced, vegan (plant sourced) diet is one of the most effective choices we may make for our own health, for a healthy sustainable environment and for a toxin free food supply. It also shows how a vegan diet can be super delicious, nutritious and satisfying while not contributing to the suffering and ill treatment of animals, especially in large factory farms.

Twenty years ago I was fortunately introduced to this diet and readily embraced this completely new way of eating choices and consequences. I found it to inspire a heretofore unknown creative enthusiasm in the kitchen, a love of catering healthy food to many kinds of groups, and an ongoing exploration of natural and holistic health modalities. This has directly led to a path of ongoing inquiry away from ignorance, towards self awareness and skills to be able to recognize and respond to ones inner wisdom and connection to life. This was an extraordinary change after being brought up in Hawaii……

Over the years I have found that with the help of a purer diet and working with many teachers and holy beings it is continually more possible to live in integrity to this deeper calling, that is far beyond ceaseless mental chatter and limited beliefs and conditioning of the mind, and is one of the most necessary, empowering and rewarding directions on may aspire to.

Vegan Inspiration cookbook was written with the intention to support this process, by sharing a compilation of our most loved and delicious healthy recipes, foundational healthy cooking skills and the fundamentals of widely revered natural health and self- awareness principles.

At this time of monumental change in the world one of my greatest dreams and visions is that our youths educators might embrace the new paradigms by adding information, such as I have shared and wished I had known about earlier, to their curriculum. To include insights and wisdom that effectively prepares our youth with the skills, attitudes, knowledge, and understandings to be innovative and versatile in their abilities to navigate through their own lives and find solutions to current planetary crisis and widespread ill health.

I encourage the youth of today, if they have a desire to create a viable future, to empower themselves by rising beyond the “pleasure traps” and numbness of commercial food consumption, the technological distractions and rebellious complacency.

To unify as one voice and insist, as the inheritors of our improper stewardship of the Earth, the honest information and authentic support to realize within themselves their abilities and gifts to effectively work within this changing world.


Who will let the youth of today know….
