Unrefined Vegan

Before getting to the recipe, I want to say thank you for the enthusiastic response I got for my Help Me Choose My E-book Cover post.  That was really cool.  Here’s how the voting sussed out (tally from Facebook, emails, and blog comments):

Cover A: 22 votes
Cover B: 12 votes
Cover C: 22 votes

So, it was a tie between A and C.  Which meant someone (me) had to be the tie-breaker.  I went with what my gut said.  Cover A looked a little bit too much like a textbook to me, so I decided to go with C.  But some of you had some very constructive criticisms about C and I took those to heart and ended up making some changes to that design (color!).  Also, at the eleventh hour (and at my dad’s excellent suggestion) I added a subtitle to make the primer feel more personal and approachable which meant tweaking the design just a tad.  You’ll have to wait until the e-book is published to see what I did.  Tease!  Again, thank you all so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!

So – – today I’m thrilled to be sharing my Ginger Green Matcha “Panna Cotta” with The Sweet Life, (as of 2015 called My Darling Vegan) a beautifully-photographed, mouthwatering blog where you need to spend some solid ogling and drooling time. The recipe is crazy easy and contains no sugar, no oil, and no gluten.
