Working for Best Friends Animal Society on the merch team for the past 9 years I have lost count of how many times we have had requests for a Best Friends cookbook, I’m excited to announce it’s here! I am beyond grateful for the guidance that Nichole Dandrea-Russert so graciously gave us from the very beginning of this project. Self-publishing a cookbook is a labor love if you surround yourself with talented like-minded individuals like Nichole. She not only has the talent and experience as a writer, author, nutrition spokesperson and content creator in the world of plant-based nutrition, she also shares the love for animals. As a past employee of Best Friends we knew Nichole would honor and respect our vision of a better world through kindness to animals. Nichole’s talent for recipe creation, editing a recipe for 80 down to 4 servings and her visionary ideas were immensely helpful. I find myself going to her site purely planted for nutritional tips for myself. Thank you, Nichole, for sharing your passion of plant-based foods and your love for the animals with us here at Best Friends. So much gratitude for you and all that you do!!
