Last weekend was my first book signing for Plant-Powered Families – at MeeT restaurant. MeeT has only been open since last August, and is already a wildly popular vegan and gluten-free restaurant in Vancouver. If you are local, you must get in for some delicious plant-powered food!
Today I thought I’d share some photos from the event…
We had a gorgeous sunny Saturday morning, stacking up the books:
Putting out the food samples, we had Crazy Brownies, Red Lentil Hummus, Southwest Quinoa Salad, and Almond Zen Granola (all from PPF, of course).
Our eldest daughter (Charlotte) helping set out the food. Those of you that have Vive le Vegan from 2004 – yep, that’s her!
Crazy Brownies moment. Make them, k? They are quickly becoming one of the ‘hot’ recipes in PPF.
Squeezing in some of my other titles….
SURPRISE! Elsa made an appearance. Yes, Frozen still alive and well in our household.
Where is that recipe?…
Catching up with Laura Simonson, and meeting Anna Pelzer…
Signing books…
Meeting beautiful local mamas Tara and Denise (from our Plant-Powered Families FB group)…
um, I think Denise and I are sisters separated at birth…
Funny side-story: I come from a family of 6 girls, all with “D” names. Denise has 4 daughters, all “D” names. Whaaaaat? Right?!!…
and Tara wins the FABULOUS Hippie Foods door prize!
After the event, I settle in with the fam for a delicious lunch at MeeT. Elsa joined us. 😉
And, MeeT surprised us with lunch ‘on the house’! Awesome. We love this place.
Yup.
Thanks to MeeT for hosting my signing. Thanks to my family for supporting me, as always. And, thanks to those of you that joined us for the fun.
Have you been to MeeT restaurant? What’s your favorite menu item?

Don’t suppose you want to come do a book signing over here? (I.E. The lovely UK) If you do- can I wear my Elsa dress?

Biggest congrats on your fabulous new book, Dreena! I LOVE it! Wish I could have made it in to meet you and join the fun on book signing day! Great pics!
We were in Van yesterday, and stopped in to Meet for the first time our way home. It is great to have another restaurant on the list!
Many thanks for all of your inspiration! Is a book signing in White Rock in your future?
Denise Donovan says
Great pictures Dreena! Again, so nice meeting you and enjoying your delicious food. After the signing I went home and made the brawnies, granola and red lentil hummus. All were hits with my girls.
Thanks again for a great day.
Your other sister,
Denise 😉
