Actually, that's not a bad gift idea. I do post a lot of recipes on my
blog, so friends and family members have access to some of my fave
recipes, however, the in-laws that I have the most trouble with are
unilingual French. I have been having a hell of a time finding a /good/
vegan cookbook in French, or even just a vegan cookbook in French!

Slowly, ever so slowly, I am converting my recipes to French.

Funny you should mention that... I came across the rec.food.veg FAQ just
the other day (maybe it was even yesterday!):

Very well put together, imho.

Aye, a.f.v has actually been slowing down a lot recently with some
longtime members leaving, and the trolls growing exponentially. Shame
really. But this past month has given me renewed hope.

I haven't perused a.a.e.v in the longest time. Though, I might start up
again after November.

Cheers!
