Also new this week is a great new book title. 100 Best Vegan Baking Recipes by Kris Holechek is in stock and ready for purchase.

We have a couple of new products available to tell you about. First up is a "try me" size of Black Salt. Black Salt lends a pungent, egg-like flavor to any dish you season with it. Think of how much awesome this will add to your tofu scrambles! Black Salt is called for in many vegan recipes, including the Vegan Omelette recipes in the best selling cookbook Vegan Brunch.

Also new this week is the 10th Anniversary Edition of How It All Vegan! Geez, has it really been ten years? This special edition includes five new recipes and a full color photo section. And of course all of your old favorites are still there. Our friend Jeanette has some of her beautiful vegan pottery featured in the photos, too!

Holiday Hours- Cosmo's showroom will be closed on Monday, Sept. 7th in honor of Labor Day. Since UPS and the postal service are both taking the day off too, that means all orders placed this weekend will ship out on Tuesday. Now go out and enjoy summer's last hurrah!

Hey everyone! Today's DotD is Helwa Wafers. Get yours today for only $2.50 per pack.

We have some new food products in stock this week, including the single most requested product in the history of Cosmo's. Daiya Vegan Cheese is shredded, meltable, stretchable, soy-free, and available here! Daiya Vegan Cheese is a perishable, refrigerated food. Therefore, Daiya does require shipping with a cooler and ice pack. If shelling out the extra $5.99 for the cooler & ice pack hurts a bit, you may want to consider adding some refrigerated products to your order to get more bang for your buck. We can fit 6-10 refrigerated foods in one cooler, so if you only want one or two bags of Daiya, perhaps we can interest you in some other cooler goodies? Unfortunately the cooler is necessary in order to have your Daiya Vegan Cheese arrive to you safe and ready to eat. It's so worth it though, ya'll. Daiya makes every meal better. We've been up to our eyeballs in grilled cheese sammies thanks to Daiya.

We have some other new food products in this week as well:

Garbanzo Bean (Chickpea) Flour- So you want to make all the yummy vegan omelette recipes in your new copy of Vegan Brunch? Well, you're gonna need some Chickpea Flour. This versatile flour is also great in gluten-free baking and as a thickener.

We now have the classic Nayonaise in Original and Fat Free varieties.

Organic Whole Grain Quinoa By Bob's Red Mill is now in stock, and at a great low price. That's a whole pound of vegan protein, my friends.

Organic vegan bacon bits?! We need to create a vegan bacon-themed category soon.

Soyatoo now offers a rice-based whipped topping! Rice Whip tastes great, and is soy-free, too.
