Welcome to new member Gilly

[Guest guest]

Hi Gilly and welcome to the group. We are interested in all sorts of vegetarian

and vegan topics and tend to specialize in spicy vegetarian food, in particular

Oriental food, but I think you will find plenty to interest you here. You can

always spice-down recipes that look like being too spicy for your taste! Hope

you enjoy taking part in the discussion and/or looking through the message

archives or the recipes in the Files section of our site. If you have any

problems navigating the site just let us know.

 

Have fun! Piers (co-owner with Pat)

Hi Gilly,

 

Nice to have you here. About the recipes for spreads: please check our Files

area and scroll down until you get to the two-starred folders and look for Dips,

Spreads etc. You may find some there that you like. Otherwise, see if there's

something under Appetizers (you never know) that would work as a spread. Good

luck!
