Her most recent book, ''The Joyful Vegan: How to Stay Vegan in a World That Wants You to Eat, Meat, Dairy and Eggs,"'' was published by BenBella Books in 2020.
Raised on a typical American diet of meat, dairy, and eggs, Colleen was shocked by what she learned when she read [[John Robbins]]' ''Diet for a New America'' at 19. No longer able to justify eating mammals, Colleen began a journey of discovery that continues to this day. Eventually she included fish in her circle of compassion, and after reading ''Slaughterhouse'', it became clear to her that no animal raised for human consumption - whether for their flesh, milk, or eggs - escapes the horrors and cruelties of slaughter. Determined to raise awareness about animal suffering, she founded Compassionate Cooks to be a voice for the over 45 billion land and sea animals killed every year in the U.S. for human consumption. She dedicates the work she does through her cooking classes, cookbooks, podcast, writings, and cooking DVD to them.


In 2005, Patrick-Goudreau founded the podcast ''Food for Thought'' which has been voted "Favorite Podcast" by readers of ''[[VegNews]]'' for several consecutive years.<ref>{{cite web|accessdate=November 20, 2019|title=Sedona VegFest celebrates the plant-based diet|date=November 1, 2019|website=[[AZ Business Magazine]]|url=https://azbigmedia.com/lifestyle/experience-az/sedona-vegfest-celebrates-the-plant-based-diet/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/maya-gottfried/vegan-lifestyle_b_1072163.html|title=I Am An Imperfect Vegan|last=Gottfried|first=Maya|date=2011-11-04|website=Huffington Post|language=en-US|access-date=2017-05-17}}</ref> She has another podcast called ''ANIMALOGY'', which examines the animal-related words and expressions we use and what they say about the relationship between human and non-human animals, which is also the topic of her 2020 TEDx talk.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://comicsverse.com/krypto-superdog-bark-non-human-animals/|title=Krypto the Superdog: A Bark for all Non-Human Animals - ComicsVerse|date=2017-05-09|work=ComicsVerse|access-date=2017-05-17|language=en-US}}</ref> Patrick-Goudreau is also a contributor to [[NPR]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8883949.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171028130127/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8883949.html|url-status = dead|archive-date=28 October 2017|title=Choice|date=18 October 2007|work=The Boston Globe|access-date=17 May 2017|via=HighBeam Research}}</ref> She was featured on ''Vegan Mashup,'' a show produced for [[PBS]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pressherald.com/2012/06/06/lights_-camera_-action__2012-06-06/|title=Natural Foodie: Delicious TV puts spotlight on vegans - Portland Press Herald|last=Kamila|first=Avery Yale|date=2012-06-06|website=Press Herald|access-date=2017-05-17}}</ref> Patrick-Goudreau has appeared on national and regional TV programs, including [[CBS]] with ''Good Day Sacramento'', and [[Fox Broadcasting Company|FOX]] where she has shared her knowledge and recipes.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.colleenpatrickgoudreau.com/press/|title=Press|date=2016-10-17|work=Colleen Patrick-Goudreau|access-date=2017-05-17|language=en-US}}</ref>
