7 Day Vegetarian Starter Kit: Quick, Easy, Delicious Vegan Meals (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979868818)

Martha has been a vegetarian since 1985. She was raised in Detroit, Michigan, and introduced to a vegetarian way of life when she moved to Los Angeles and met her husband, Londale Theus, who has been a vegetarian since 1982. Together, they raised their children, Kamaal and Londale Jr. as vegetarians since birth. Kamaal has graduated college and Londale is in his senior year. They are active, athletic, healthy young adults who have never eaten meat, poultry, fish or eggs. Martha was fully vegetarian throughout both pregnancies. As a young wife and mother, her goal was to create healthy and delicious food that did not involve pain and suffering for animals, yet tasted good and had a southern flair which reflected her roots. Over twenty years of trial and error, they have achieved this goal, and due to the request of so many of their family members and friends, Martha and Kamaal wrote Throwin' Down Vegetarian Style! in 2007 which is a collection of their favorite quick, easy, high protein vegetarian soul food and ethnic recipes. Since then, they have written two additional books and will release the second edition of Throwin' Down Vegetarian Style! in November 2010. Martha and Kamaal have "cracked the code" and taken the mystery and confusion out of vegetarian living by providing tips and recipes that are not only healthy but also very hearty and tasty and reminiscent of the foods we all grew up with. Their entire family is committed to a vegetarian lifestyle as a spiritual choice. They feel this lifestyle is a great blessing, as they enjoy good health and do not have any of the diet related diseases that many African Americans suffer from. They don't believe that you have to choose between eating "good" and eating "right." You can do both!
