Welcome to May's Veg*n Swap, friends!!! This is a casual and fun recipe swap for those who like to "veg out".

REMEMBER, we are each picking one veg*n chef and making 2 of his/her recipes - plus one of our VIP's recipe (see below!)

Here's how to play:

You select one veg*n chef from the list of participants below and immediately post your choice in this thread when the game officially opens at 9am Zaar time (EST) on Tuesday, May 1st 2012. Chefs will be chosen on a first come, first serve basis. (For example, Lalaloula may choose Karen Elizabeth who chooses Prose who chooses FrVanilla). We will accept late additions until all participants are adopted!

You choose a minimum of 2 of his/her recipes and report your tags here in this link by listing the chef and the recipe (including the recipe number, please). The recipes must be vegetarian, vegan or raw.

You also choose one recipe of the VIP (Veg*n Important Person) of the month ??? and report your tag here as well. Note that you cannot tag the VIP Chef since everyone will be making 1 of his/her recipes. Also, the VIP will not choose a chef, he/she will simply recipenap a couple recipes because that's what royalty does. . .whatever they want!

You make the recipes and submit reviews for these recipes by the end of the month (May 31st). Make sure you post that you made the recipe here in this forum. . .and we LOVE to see any photos that you may have taken of your chosen recipes!

In return you will receive two or three reviews on your recipes from whomever tags you! Unless you are the VIP and then lucky you will receive a TON of reviews that month!!!

Feel free to have fun in this thread. . .friendly banter, vegetarian/vegan/raw discussions, well wishes, recipe tips, and even useless info are encouraged!

Questions? Just ask Katzen or Lalaloula, your swap hosts!

*A fun way to meet fellow members and promote your recipes.

Here is a little banner for your About Me page. Just remove the X and paste it in the top section.

A bit about the VIP:
I graduated from Scripps College, an amazing amazing school and part of the Claremont Consortium. For two years after graduation I worked in college access non-profits, helping low-income high school students apply to college with the hopes that they'll obtain the higher education experience I was blessed to have. Recently, I've returned to school to pursue my Masters in Postsecondary Administration and Student Affairs at the University of Southern California (I know, a mouthul). As a personal goal, I've decided to dive into learning how to cook simply by trying new recipes. Finding good ones are tough, mostly because I don't have a huge budget, me and my roommates are all picky eaters, and I'm pretty much a pescatarian. I'm willing to try anything once though

Favorite Foods
A really good everything bagel with cream cheese and lox - nothing can beat it!

My favorite restaurant is Paseo's - a cuban sandwich shack. If you are in Seattle and have not been there yet, drop everything and GO NOW! Seriously...yummmmm
