Actress Alicia Silverstone has turned her hand to writing - she has penned a book on vegan dieting.

The Clueless star, who has been a vegan for 10 years and is an animal welfare activist, wrote the tome, entitled The Kind Diet, in a bid to promote healthy, natural eating.

According to Silverstone, the book “explores the connection between what we put in our bodies and what we’re doing to the planet, and how choosing the right foods in the kitchen can help you feeling lighter, sexier, and more alive”.

The Kind Diet will also include a three step diet programme, along with 75 vegan and macrobiotic recipes, and is due out next year.
