If you have seen My Other Hobby, you will know that I’m a bit of a painter, using pastels as my medium.

Well, I’ve also written some books. These are teaching books, with most taking you on a step-by-step journey for a portrait, a scene, a still life, etc. One is a complete understanding of the world of pastels, including techniques.

If you are interested in checking out the books and the complete website, head over to Painting With Pastels and peruse them.

The Rise of the Modern Vegan – 21st Century Veganism

It seems that more and more people are choosing plant-based foods over animal products. Why is there such a demand?

‘The Rise of the Modern Vegan – 21st Century Veganism’ is a fascinating look at what and why this movement is not going away anytime soon and explores the meaning of veganism in this modern age.

This book was published just before the outbreak of COVID-19. However, it still accurately reflects the rise of veganism.

 

 

 

Eat Vegan For 7 Days – Using Whole Plant Foods

eat vegan

How can you go past this book? Even if you’re just kicking the idea around, it’s a super way to test the waters and discover exactly what great, healthy food can really be like.

You’re covered with a menu plan for breakfast, lunch, and dinner over the seven days for both Winter and Summer, as well as all the recipes.

But it’s more than just recipes. This book provides extensive information on topics like protein and dairy and explains why a whole-food, plant-based diet is the healthiest.

If you’re already vegan – this is a great book to get some new recipes or to give away.

 

 

A Clean Eating Nutrition Guide – For Flexitarians, Vegetarians & Vegans.

This is not a run-of-the-mill nutrition book. For a start, I’m not a nutritionist and don’t claim to be. However, I have thoroughly researched things to do with nutrition, especially the animal protein side of food.

Many questions are asked about vegetarian or vegan sources of nutrients essential for good health. This book has it all. It also delves into where food comes from and some history around foods such as white sugar and white rice. Overall, it is a slightly different way of looking at nutrition and a great book to have on hand.

 

 

 

What To Eat Instead of Meat – Finding Out About Plant-Based Food


I’ve written this book specifically for those who struggle to know what to replace meat with. It’s been designed to be as easy as possible, and this time, I’ve included quite a number of recipes.

Not only that but there’s a 20-day Meal Plan for you to follow—or even just to get inspiration from. A number of recipes and a list of pantry ingredients have been included.

So, hopefully, it’s going to be an excellent book to help you start eating more plant-based meals and feel confident that you’re doing it right.

Vegetarian To Vegan – Making The Switch

I’d love to have a dollar for every vegetarian who has said to me that they would love to be vegan. The problem is many just don’t know how they will ever be able to give up cheese or other types of dairy or eggs – or dairy and eggs.

These comments motivated me to write this book. Hopefully, I’ve done it justice and have helped even those who just want to be totally animal-free for a couple of days a week.

A better place for all sentient beings

By Stephanie Atwood on June 9, 2015

I read this book from cover to cover because it is a subject I am very interested in AND have given a lot of thought to. Fee O’Shea was thorough and, at the same time, fun to read. I loved the recipes. I loved the research. I do not agree with all of her conclusions or all of her convictions. At the same time I am very impressed with how complete and convincing she is with her writing. I LOVED the recipes and truly appreciate what she addressed as vegan issues. I look forward to more recipes, especially and want you to know how much I appreciate your efforts to make this planet a better place for all sentient beings!

 

5 starsTHIS IS NOT A DIET…..ITS A LIFESTYLE!!!

Fee O’Shea…..WHAT AN AUTHOR!! I read this book mostly out of curiosity to see Fee would approach this subject. Of course she has written in her same warm and understanding style and her passion is evident from the first paragraph.

What I love about Fee’s writing is that fact that she never takes a ‘Holier than Thou’ approach, she doesn’t ‘tell you’ to become Vegan, she wants to help you on the journey to becoming Vegan. As she says, being Vegan is not a diet, it is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE. She accepts that it can be difficult (after all, she has been in the readers shoes too!) and she shares her wealth of knowledge once more to help the reader through their personal ‘…yeah, but…’ moments.

Fee presents some very confronting information which is well researched and presented in the matter-of-fact style that I enjoy about Fee’s writing. As always Free presents an extremely strong ‘why’ case but what I love the most is that she presents the most important ‘HOW’ information and some FANTASTIC recipes!

* If you are vegetarian looking towards becoming Vegan…GET THIS BOOK…it has all the pointers you will ever possible need
* If you are vegetarian who hasn’t thought about becoming Vegan…GET THIS BOOK…I promise it will get you thinking
* If you are not yet Vegetarian, or still eat meat…GET THIS BOOK…Although Fee doesn’t recommend it, I say get this book and have a little read….it cant hurt can it, and you will never read a work by a more understanding or knowledgeable author.

Once again…THANKS FEE

Book 3 by Fee O’Shea, and once again she continues to amaze me. As I read this book I’m actually feeling as though she’s sitting in my living room having a conversation with me. In the book, Fee tells us that she has no certifications or special training in nutrition, well, I do have a certification in fitness and nutrition, and I can honestly say that this very talented lady has done her research well, and so much more.
She’s a natural teacher, writer and, I might add researcher. She is truly concerned for our health, the proper treatment of animals and a clean environment.
Although she expresses her own opinion, she does so without negating the feelings of others. I have actually learned more from her than I have from my own training.
This book is wonderfully written and one I will keep in my kitchen to use often for referencing. I am currently a flexitarian working on being a vegetarian, and it no longer seems scary or too hard to do.
