Veggie Swap #49 ~ August ~ Sign-Up Thread

[Lalaloula]

Interested in trying new vegetarian, vegan or raw recipes? Interested in receiving some reviews? Then please join us for a stress free, fun monthly recipe swap!

Sign up here, leaving your name and a link to your vegetarian/vegan/raw cookbooks. PLEASE also leave your cookbook numbers if this is your first time signing up, or if you've changed your cookbook.

Here's how it works. . .each chef will choose another participating chef and tag 2 of his/her recipes. There will be NO assigned teams and you don't have to specify vegetarian, vegan or raw. The choice of chefs will be done on a first come, first serve basis and each chef can only be chosen once. However, you can recipenap any other chefs recipes whenever you want!

In addition, we will have a surprise Veggie Chef of the Month. This chef will be chosen randomly and all participants go back in the hat again this month for a fresh start in 2012!. Each participating chef will make one of the VIP's recipes. The Veggie Chef of the Month will be the VIP for the month getting a whole bunch of reviews; he/she will not participate in the swap the same way as the others (chosing a partner and then being chosen), but he/she can recipenap other chefs recipes.

August's Veggie Chef of the Month will be chosen from all who have signed up as of 5pm EST on Tuesday, 7/31.
The swap will officially start on Wednesday, 8/01 at 9 am EST.

If you have questions or suggestions, please send a zmail to the swap hosts, Katzen or Lalaloula.

*****This is a fun way to meet fellow members and promote your recipes!! *****

Here is a quick guide about what ingredients are considered vegetarian or vegan by vegetarians and vegans. As in many other facets of life, there are some variations. So, for the purposes of this game,

Vegetarian = lacto-ovo vegetarian
beef, pork, poultry, fish, gelatin =
milk, butter, yogurt, eggs, honey =
fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, legumes =

Vegan = strict vegan
beef, pork, poultry, fish, gelatin =
milk, butter, yogurt, eggs, honey =
fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, legumes =

Raw food = (as I understand it from my reading)
beef, pork, poultry, fish, gelatin =
milk, butter, yogurt, eggs =
cooked fruits, veggies, nuts, legumes, and grains =
raw fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, sprouted legumes, and sprouted grains =
raw honey = (for some)

Come join in the fun and sign up today! Find some fresh and healthy recipes while eating in Veggie style!!! Remember, you need not be vegetarian/vegan to join us - just interested in making a few dishes that are meat free (and yes, this includes beverages, desserts, non-food recipes, etc.!!!) Everyone is welcome!
