I borrowed the new cookbook Vegan Diner from the library a few weeks ago because of the raves it was getting on the PPK. Most cookbook s I am happy to borrow from the library and return three weeks later but the very best ones I have to buy. My copy of this one is coming. I love the recipes and the layout is excellent
So tonight I made the Old-Fashioned Tomato soup – so easy and so delicious. 
On the weekend I had made the Great Smoky Mountain Cheeze, but substituting hickory liquid smoke for the smoked paprika. The consistency is good, like a soft cheese – sliceable but still spreadable. I toasted some leftover rosemary focaccia (recipe from Veganomicon) and spread on it some of the smoky spread. Dunking it in the soup made it all more delicious.
