Synopsis

Think! Eat! Act! is a cookbook featuring the vegan food prepared on the Sea Shepherd ships' anti-whaling campaigns. Inspired by the Sea Shepherd's goal of protecting the animals that are victims of human cruelty, author and onboard chef Raffaella Tolicetti uses delicious vegan food to show readers that every action has a consequence, and that you can live both well and compassionately, even while facing the challenges of being an activist living on a ship. The recipes are mixed in with information about vegan nutrition and ocean activism and interviews about being on the front lines of animal defense, getting vegan food in prison, and more!

About this title

About the Author:

After a degree in political science in Rome, Raffaella Tolicetti joined Sea Shepherd as a vegan cook in July 2010. Since then she has participated in three Antarctica anti-whaling campaigns, one Faroe campaign against the grind of pilot whales and one bluefin tuna defense campaign in the Mediterranean. She has been chief cook on board three different ships, the Steve Irwin, the Bob Barker and now the Sam Simon. Raffa has been vegan for over three years and was vegetarian for another four before that, although she thinks she was born vegetarian and forced fed meat and fish and eggs and milk.

Review:

“To cook vegan for a multiethnic crew, motivated by an eco-animal rights passion, on a ship that flags the Jolly Roger. Those could be the ingredients of a Peter Greenaway movie. [...] thanks to a book like this one I can find the real reason that I am vegan, which is simply that animals are not ours to be eaten.”  —Paolo, Vegan Riot blog

“Not everybody can get on a ship for months on end and fight whaling fleets in the Southern Ocean like Raffa and the Sea Shepherds do, but you don’t have to go to Antarctica to make a difference in this world. Adopting a vegan or vegetarian diet means you can save just as many animals, if not more, by the choices you make three times a day. Raffa’s recipes make being vegan easy. They are healthy, nutritious and tasty.”  —Joanne Brookfield, Fairfax Media

“Offers incredible examples of people who have maintained their commitment to veganism even in light of seemingly impossible conditions. If you want incredible recipes, inspirational stories, and new ideas on the vegan way of life, this book is essential.”  —Greg Bennick, professional speaker, humanitarian, and vegan activist, producer, and writer

"A few years ago, after finishing to read a book about Sea Shepherd, I became vegetarian as soon as I had turned the last page. A few months later I met Raffa, and I happily succumbed to veganism...Her compassionate philosophy is contagious and I wished I had encountered it earlier." —Sylvie Guillem, French etoile ballet dancer
