For my birthday this year ARG gave me a book called about the Thrive Diet. Its a vegan diet developed by a triathalon specialist. The book wasn't a revelation to me, or anything like that. Instead it took me back to when I was ARGs age, just finished a BSc in Physiology and moving on to live in a series of rented dives while studying further. It was those hippyish years when we are all into making our own bread, sprouting lentils, scrounging windfall apples and tomatoes left over from field trials.
The Thrive Diet book took me back to those years of hempseeds and cheesecloth. I particularly remembered our home made lasgne drying on a clothes rack where it was nibbled by cats (and possibly vermin too). Over the past few weeks I've had enormous fun getting back into growing sprouts in glass jars and making a variety of recipes included in the book.
I've not become a convert to veganism overnight, but I have to say that I've not got such a kick over playing with food for a long time.
