Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Your recipe is okay, but it should be adjusted to get rid of the oil and nuts (making it as fat-free as possible), and then find a better contest to enter into, rather than one that apparently condones using animals and animal products. Did you look at some of the other recipies that are entered into the contest?

His recipe for Pan-Roasted Potatoes and Onions was selected as one of twenty-five finalists for "fan favorite," and it's deliciously vegetarian.We love to cook for each other --- and of all of the dishes that he's ever prepared for me --- this one is *my* favorite.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 But wouldn't it be great for a vegan recipe to win an omni recipe contest...? alice On 27 Aug 2008, at 06:29, Gypsy wrote: > Your recipe is okay, but it should be adjusted to get rid of the oil > and nuts (making it as fat-free as possible), and then find a better > contest to enter into, rather than one that apparently condones using > animals and animal products.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Not really. It's obvious that a vegan recipe is a LOT better than meat-containing ones, making it already a winner in comparison to the horrible recipies it's competing against. A REAL test of the recipe would be entering it into a contest of its peers.--- On Tue, 8/26/08, Alice Leonard <alice wrote: Alice Leonard <aliceRe: Recipe Contest Date: Tuesday, August 26, 2008, 7:51 PMBut wouldn't it be great for a vegan recipe to win an omni recipe contest...? alice On 27 Aug 2008, at 06:29, Gypsy wrote: > Your recipe is okay, but it should be adjusted to get rid of the oil > and nuts (making it as fat-free as possible), and then find a better > contest to enter into, rather than one that apparently condones using > animals and animal products.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Trying again - I'm going to put in some line breaks and see if this helps. Not really.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi Tatiana! I voted for the recipe. It looks really delicious and there's nothing wrong with a little fat in your diet. Good Luck.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 The objective was not about public outreach. It was about winning a recipe contest and determining how good a recipe was when compared to similar vegan recipes, which would be a truer test if you are evaluating it for prize-winning potential. Like I said, it would always be a winner when compared to non- vegan recipes. I like potatoes and onions cooked together, so I would definitely vote for it!--- On Wed, 8/27/08, genevieve keene <gennyk4u wrote: genevieve keene <gennyk4uRe: Recipe ContestgypsydanceCc: tatianavDate: Wednesday, August 27, 2008, 10:10 AM gypsy dance no this is exactly what vegan food needs to do, come more into the mainstream so less people have their phobias confirmed. as vegans we need to go for the jugular and show meateaters that our food is a tasty, ethical alternative. why preach to the converted and hide away in vegan festivals and restaurants? cafeaulait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Why be such a downer? If you don’t have a mind to vote for the recipe, then don’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
