Kansas City Chef Writes 'Practically Raw' Cookbook
20.05.12

Chef Amber Shea Crawley of Kansas City is releasing her first vegan cookbook, Practically Raw on March 15. This young chef, who writes the blog Almost Vegan, is making her place in the vegan world with an open attitude about food and a strict view on health.
Though Crawley says her diet is at least 95 percent vegan, she calls herself, as her blog name suggests, an almost vegan.
Im meat- and dairy-free, but I do sometimes eat eggs, Campo Lindo Farms eggs only, and, rarely, fish. Other than that, Im all about veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, whole grains, and a reasonable amount of sweet treats, she says.
She began her vegan diet for health reasons, and it became more than just her lifestyle. It became her career.
Crawley has been blogging for several years but only realized she wanted to be a cookbook author after going to culinary school.
