Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hi everyone. I am new to the group and wanted to introduce myself. I have been veg for a number of years. About 15 years ago on a Kibbutz in Israel, I started connecting with other animals and decided not to eat them anymore. I began cooking veg when i got back to the US and wound up in the kitchen of a health food store in California. I started as a dishwasher and prep cook. I was there for a few years where I worked as a chef, baker and manager. When I left, I started a private chef service called " Blossoming Lotus " . I worked on several consulting projects before moving to Kauai, Hawaii, where we opened the Blossoming Lotus cafe. That was about 4 years ago. Since then the cafe has grown into an 80 seat restaurant with outdoor courtyard and a stage for live nightly music. The atmosphere is pretty amazing. We also put out a cookbook, Vegan World Fusion Cuisine- with a foreword by Dr. Jane Goodall. We have also opened another location on the mainland in Portland, Oregon in Yoga in the Pearl. I would like to share recipes and inspiration and hear from other veg*ns out there. Peace to all Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Good Morning everyone.....sorry I am late for the roll call....Hello my name is Canela and I currently reside in the state of Georgia in the US. I have been a vegetarian on and off for a number of years and I am trying to inch closer and closer to being a Vegan. I love trying all different type of ethnic recipes. Lately, I have been doing a lot of Caribbean type dishes and using coconut milk, coconut oil...I am very happy to belong to this group because I am always looking for new ways to prepare food.
