Alicia’s Book Blitz

A strong vegan-lifestyle advocate for many years, Alicia Silverstone is garnering national attention before the launch of her new book, The Kind Diet. Candle 79, a posh vegan eatery in Manhattan, hosted her book release party on October 8, which included celebrity guest appearances by Giada De Laurentiis and Lake Bell. Silverstone also hosted a food demo at the New York City Wine and Food Festival on October 10, where she prepared some of her recipes, including seitan pasta, Caesar salad, and tofu cheesecake, for a host of hungry onlookers. The Kind Diet is in stores today.
