Finally, we have a Dino segment, where he talks about freezing large batches of food, using curry leaves (or not), and ways that you can personalize the recipes in his new cookbook, Alternative Vegan.

We also have a special visit from the Sensitive New Age Vegan who centers us and calms our anger, albeit quite briefly. We’ve got plenty of email and voicemails this week too. As always, we appreciate the feedback and participation from our listeners in the show!
