Synopsis

DEVRA GARTENSTEIN is an omnivore who owns and runs the Patty Pan Grill, a vegetarian restaurant and take-out counter in Seattle, Washington. She is also a farmers' market vendor who can be found at her stand at a local market nearly every day in the summer.THE AUTHOR SCOOP If you had to boil the message of The Accidental Vegan down to one sentence, what would it be? You don’t have to be a vegetarian to eat vegetarian food, just like you don’t have to be Thai to eat Thai food, and you don’t have to be Mexican to eat Mexican food.When did you know you were a writer?When I was in third grade one of my teachers said, “You should never start a sentence with ‘and,’ unless you’re a writer.” And right then and there, I decided that’s what I wanted to be.What's the farthest you've ever traveled?I once traveled to a small town in Poland thinking it was the birthplace of my great grandfather, but when I got home and double checked, it turned out I’d gone to the wrong town.Any memorable kitchen disasters?I once spilled half a bucket of tahini. That’s twenty pounds of tahini. There’s no good way to clean up twenty pounds of tahini.What book do you re-read every few years?I re-read Isak Dinesen’s Babette’s Feast, and then I watch the movie again, because it’s every bit as good as the original story.What are you working on now? I’m working on a book called Honest Food: A History of Eating Well. It’s an account of the relationship between humans and food, from Paleolithic times until the present day.

About Wonder Book

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
