Last night I attended yet another amazing green event: the launch of Hot, Rich & Green by Rebecca Harrell Tickell. As you may know, I assisted with the production of the book and it inspired me to turn my full attention to running this blog. Though the book has been out for a little while, this was the official media launch. In attendance were many of the women who shared their stories and advice on
how to run green businesses.
The party was held in the new Residences at the W Hollywood in Hollywood, in a special eco suite called Eco Residence, GREEN+VINE; it was beautiful and cozy. Food was catered by Mixt Greens, but I had a pretty negative experience with them - out of respect, I won't divulge the specifics. However, I later found out that all of the food and the company's time was donated, which was incredibly generous. Other sponsors were Ocean Vodka, Parducci Vineyards, Soda Stream - I did not try any of these beverages.

we do vegan cooked and vegan raw, all organic! :)
love vibes on yor way
I can't believe that chef! When someone claims to be green but doesn't embrace being vegan to at least some degree I can assure you they are phonies or extremely stupid. Either way its best to steer clear!
Great brief write up and it was wonderful to see you again!!! Congrats on the book, what an amazing night we all had! I will say however, I thought that the food was divine! I stopped by one the stores today on Wilshire and it is more than you can imagine...
As far as the Vegan comment, I'm very suprised as I had a very enlightened comment with the head chef about vegan vs local, and while their primary goal is not vegan aimed, they do cater to all food groups and have the primary intentions of sustainability in mind...
Anywho... can't wait to see you soon! We should carpool in the bio diesel car! Or maybe grab lunch at Mixt Greens... My treat :-)
Seems like a great event! Thank you for recommending this book. Such beautiful and inspiring women to look up to.
