A Note About Vegan and Vegetarian Recipes Here :)

[Guest guest]

I just want to give an update/info message on recipes on Vegetarian Spice:

 

This is a *VEGETARIAN* group, but some members are VEGAN. Therefore some recipes

will

be vegan (and often marked as such). Sometimes vegetarian recipes (with eggs,

dairy or

honey in them) will be edited when they go into the files to show the original

recipe, as

you posted it, with vegan alternatives for the benefit of vegan members IF that

can be

done easily This is in no way a criticism of the correctly vegetarian recipe

submitted but

is intended to be helpful to everyone.

 

If someone who is a confirmed ovo-lacto vegetarian sees a vegan recipe, they can

usually

easily change it by replacing soy or almond milk (or whatever) with dairy milk,

vegan

margerine with butter, soy cheese with dairy cheese, and egg substitutes with,

er, eggs

LOL Easy. If there are other ingredients that you don't know how to change -

tofu, for

example - just ASK!

 

As for the theme of the group, it is SPICE - but all recipes are fine, although

off-topic

recipes are filed in a different place so that they may be easily found and

identified by

those seeking a less spicy option.

 

However, ALL vegetarian recipes are and always have been welcome here -

including those

with eggs, dairy and honey. (A pro-forma statement: Meat from any animal/living

creature

- whether it walks, swims, flies, crawls, hops or sits on or under a rock - does

not of

course belong on any vegetarian group whatsoever, including Vegetarian Spice

and we

ask that you kindly edit from your recipes and avoid discussion of it.)

 

I don't know how much confusion there has been over this business - but I have

had off-

list inquiries. Others have been saying that this group has 'gone vegan'. It is

true that I, the

group Host/Owner, have, over the two and a half years since I began this group,

become

vegan myself, but the group remains VEGETARIAN My recent recipes are vegan

because

we have a rule here that all recipes must be tried and true - and I can't very

well post a

recipe with ingredients I haven't used, you see. That's all. No biggie. No

problem.

 

SOOOOOOO, hope that clears up a few things If there is anything else you'd

like to

know, please ask. As always, if it is something that you think is related to the

theme of the

group you should just post. If it is a technical matter or a matter of the

Rules, etc., by all

means feel free to contact Maida and myself by writing to us at the following

address:

-owner

and we will get back to you asap!

 

Okay? Now how about some recipes?????????

 

Best love,

Pat - Vegetarian Spice Owner/Host
