Jolinda Hackett, Editor, About.com Guide to Vegetarian Cuisine

Recently I emailed Jolinda Hackett, editor of the About.com Guide to Vegetarian Cuisine:

'Hi Jolinda,'

'I enjoyed your April Fools Day article about how NOT to cook a vegetarian meal - it's lovely to find someone with a sense of humor writing about vegetarian diet. I'll be blogging about that!'

'I also read your Q&A's and Vegetarian 101, and it sounds as though we think a lot alike. I'd like to invite you to visit my website, Savvy Vegetarian, when you have a chance.'

Jolinda visited and sent a nice compliment about SV Blog. I went back to About.com to get the scoop on Jolinda, and was distracted by an amazing recipe for avocado chocolate fudge! I did eventually read her bio, after cruising her excellent veggie food column - it's great fun!

Jolinda has been vegetarian for over 15 years and went vegan five years ago. She hangs out in health food stores for hours on end, has traveled, shopped, eaten and lived as a vegetarian all across North America, and has spent hundreds of hours talking to people of all walks of life about vegetarianism.

Jolinda says, 'There are as many reasons to go vegetarian as there are vegetarians! Whatever your personal reasons, you’ll find cooking tips, food and product reviews and recipes for every diet and occasion on this site.'
