On Behalf Of Tammy, Bay Area VegetariansTuesday, January 17, 2006 6:07 PMBAV mail list; baarn Subject: 1/29, Pacifica, BAVEG Vegan Food Party + "Food as Advocacy"

 

Please join us for Bay Area Vegetarians first Vegan Food Party of 2006!

 

This is a wonderful opportunity to start the New Year by sharing compassionate and cruelty-free foods with like-minded folks. Everyone is welcome, both veg and non-veg people, members and non-members. In fact, we encourage non-veg folks to attend so they can see the variety of wonderful vegan foods available.

 

Our Vegan Food Parties are potluck-style, meaning each person should bring a vegan dish that provides six generous servings (or if there are two of you, one dish that serves 12, and so forth), a serving utensil, ingredient list, and your own place setting and beverage.

 

Please share a homemade vegan dish with us -- it could be your favorite dish when you were a new veg*n, the one you always serve to non-veg friends, or simply one you enjoy making. We also welcome folks to "animal test" new vegan recipes -- you'll find many willing volunteers to try new vegan foods at our VFPs.

 

This month's VFP has a special presentation:

 

"Food as Advocacy" with Alex Bury

 

Leafleting, tabling, and protesting are great forms of advocacy to help animals and promote vegetarianism, but a great veg*n dish can speak volumes towards promoting veg*n foods. Alex Bury will share strategies and tips useful towards creating veg*n dishes that are particularly appealing to your non-veg family and friends, as well as aspiring veg*ns. She will demonstrate - live and in person! - how easy it is to create this type of dish.

 

Alex Bury is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, where she learned all about cooking meat. Now she is a vegan chef (formerly of Sparks restaurant in Guerneville), a full-time PETA staffer, and a chef instructor for the McDougall program.

 

This presentation is geared towards new or aspiring vegetarians as well as those wishing to use delicious food to promote vegetarianism.
