About the book:
After struggling for many years with a raging sweet tooth and emotionally-driven cravings, author Annie Oliverio began the journey back to a healthy, balanced palate. This is a cookbook focused on plant-based foods that protect, nourish, and heal – yet satisfy “cravings” that can easily trip one up when striving to eat healthier foods or when feeling lonely, stressed or in the need of comfort.
About the author, in her own words:
If there is an unnamed, undiagnosed condition where one suffers from planning, thinking about, and anticipating future breakfasts, lunches, and dinners while eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner, then I have it. And I don’t want to be cured. But I wouldn’t be opposed to having this ailment named after me.
I was fortunate to be raised in a home with two excellent cooks: my mom and dad. Mom covered the basics of breakfasts, lunches in brown paper bags, and a square meal at night. She also covered Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. Dad took over on Christmas Eve or whenever an ingredient—be it a stinky cheese or olives or eggplant or artichokes or polenta—caught his fancy. Sauce splatters and piles of pots and pans in the sink were guaranteed. Between mom and dad, my three siblings and I ate eclectically and well.
My own culinary journey got off to a rocky start when I began living on my own post-college. I went for convenience and speed (and sugary, fatty, salty) rather than quality. Slowly, however, I began buying more fresh and whole foods to make my own meals. At the same time, I was learning about what foods are best for our bodies. Long story short, my plodding and indirect journey led me to plant-based eating. I no longer rely on packaged, frozen, or prepared meals, and instead make everything we need right here in our own kitchen.
What about the non-food part of my life? Before escaping the mean city streets for the wild, windy plains of Oklahoma, I was an administrative assistant and office manager at a subscription fulfillment company in Boulder, at a think-tank in Santa Monica, at a university in Cambridge, MA, in the Green Zone in Baghdad, and at a non-profit in Washington, D.C.
I now spend a good deal of time walking the pastures trying to identify different types of grasses and insects, feeding hummingbirds, writing and reading, struggling to solve crossword puzzles (with a pen and a lot of Wite-Out), and blogging at An Unrefined Vegan and Virtual Vegan Potluck. I live in blissful satellite- and cable-free isolation with my husband, Kel, and our only son, Ike (part dachshund, part Labrador).

I can put up an author guest post on any date you need filled.
Great, I will let the author know. Thanks!
This would work for my blog. I can take one of these dates – 7, 9, 14 or 16.
Hi Sara, I placed you on the 14th. We will send you a digital review copy. Thanks!
Literary Wonders! The Author’s Hideaway would like to host this tour on Tuesday, May 26th. Our mailing address is:
Literary Wonders! The Author’s Hideaway
PO BOX 13727
Greensboro, NC 27405
Thanks.
Can I have a hard copy?
The 11th would work great for me.
Yes. I have you for the 11th of April.
I would love to do this on May 23. Thanks!
Got it! Thanks
I’d like to take May 1st. Please mail a copy to me. Thanks!
Hi Melanie, we put you for the first. Thanks.
I would love to review this book! It looks WONDERFUL! I can do any day. Please send a hard copy! Thank you!
Great Mindy! I have added you on for May 5th. Thanks!
Lots of new participants have been added – please update :-)! Thanks!
Got it! Thanks Annie.
Could I post a review on April 25th? I’d love a hard copy as well.
Thanks Tressa. I have you down for the 25th of April.
FYI Eternal Principles Simplified is now posting on April 24 and Mel’s Shelves is now posting on May 22.
Please note that Mason Canyon had already chosen April 28 to post. Can we move Thoughts in Process to another day? I’d rather not double up posts during the tour since there are still so many open dates.
Thanks!
Hi Annie,
I have updated Eternal Principles Simplified and Mel’s Shelves to the new dates. Do these reviewers already know these are their new dates?
Also, the URL for Thoughts in Process is http://www.masoncanyon.blogspot.com/ — so I am guessing this is Mason Canyon’s blog. When you visit the URL the title says Thoughts in Progress, does the name listed on the blog tour page need to be updated to Mason Canyon?
Yes, Eternal Principles & Mel’s Shelves have their updated dates.
I guess let’s go w/ Thoughts in Process. I had it on my list as Mason Canyon, but you’re right – the title at the top is different. Thanks for pointing that out.
Oh – and I’ve added some more blogs 🙂
Just added another blog for May 24 :-). Also, I just noticed that the intro still has the old dates of the tour. Please update to say April 6-May 31. Thanks!
Hi Annie! Thanks for the heads up. I have update the blog tour to reflect these changes and have sent the new blogger a digital review copy in the mean time.
I heard from one of the bloggers participating in the book tour that some of the links do not work. Also, can you correct “Cow Girls” to “Cowgirls” on the May 24 date? Thanks!
Hi Annie. With the links I actually noticed that same thing this morning. WordPress has generally automatically inserted teh “http://” preface to any URLs, but for some reason a portion of the links were missing the http portion of their address. I have updated them so they all have the full address listed, and I have manually checked all the sites to make sure they link out correctly.
As well, I updated “Cowgirls” to be one work.

I added Vegan Richa to April 17 :-)!

Thanks Annie. I have added her to the page.
Please add http://www.spabettie.com to the May 21 slot. Thanks!
Got it Annie. Thanks.
I’d love to review the cookbook and join the blog tour. Please let me know if it is too late. 🙂
