Recipes in the Files

 

 

As there have been quite a few new members lately I thought it may be

a good time to repost an explanation of the recipes in our Files.

 

 

Hi Everyone and welcome to all the new members.

 

 

Just a quick reminder and an explanation for all the new members on

how our " Files " section works.

 

 

Our Files can be found by clicking on " Files " on left hand side of

our homepage.

 

-OR-

 

 

 

-OR-

 

you'll find the link at the bottom of each email

 

 

 

Every recipe that is, or has ever been posted, is placed in the

" Files " in the folder named " ***Recipes Posted to VGF*** " .

Inside this folder, which is like an enormous recipe book, you'll find

folders with all the major category groups.

Inside these are sub-category folders, plus an index for the major

category. Some categories have even more sub-categories depending on

how many recipes there are.

 

eg. Files >

 

***Recipes Posted to VGF*** >

 

Bread (Major category) >

 

(All the sub category folders below)

Bread Machine Recipes

Banana Bread

Corn Bread

Flat Bread and Foccacias

Fruit and Raisin Bread

Loaves - Yeast Free

Loaves - Yeasted

Raw Bread

Rolls, Bagels and Pretzels

Sweet Rolls, Buns and Donuts

Index for Bread

 

Inside all of these folders are all the recipes of that type.

 

When I post recipe names I'll often include the pathway to the

recipes. For example to find a cookie recipe :

 

eg. Files > ***Recipes Posted to VGF*** > Cookies, Cakes and

Confectionery > Cookies, Slices, Brownies etc > Cookies.

 

So you go to the Files, open the " ***Recipes Posted to VGF*** "

folder, then the " Cookies, Cakes and Confectionery " folder,

then " Cookies, Slices, Brownies etc " , and finally " Cookies " .

 

- Each major category (eg. Mains) has an index which you will find

at the bottom of the folder, or in some cases (such as the salad

folder) at the below the list of folders. Some categories will

have 2 or more indexes due to their size.

 

- For those using the metric system, all the conversions are given

also. In addition alternative names are included also.

 

eg. a salad that contains arugula, will list " arugula (rocket) "

as the ingredient, because arugula is called rocket in Australia.

 

- Those recipes that are soy-free have " SF " beside their name. Those

that can be very easily converted to soy-free (eg. by changing the

milk type) have " *SF " beside them.

 

- I have recently added " TNT " beside the names of some recipes. These

are " Tried-and-true " recipes that have worked well repeatedly for me

personally. Of course what works for one does not necessarily mean it

will work for another or will be to someone else's tastes. If anyone

else has any recipes in the Files that they would like labelled as

TNT, please let me know.

 

- Towards the bottom of the major category list you'll find a

" Contents " file which gives an overview of all the categories.

There's also a folder with information on the abbreviations used

(which are the same throughout the recipes), plus information for

all the Aussies out there.

 

 

I hope all that makes sense.

 

If you haven't had a look yet, please do. We have thousands of

recipes. Plus check out the " Links " , " Database " , " Photos " and " Good

Books " sections too.

One fairly recent addition to the Files section is " Vegan & GF Menu

Ideas " . I'd love menus from others to add to it.

The most recent addition to the files is " Recipes with Photos " which

are tried and true recipes in PDF format with photos that can be

easily printed off.

The " Glossary " folder contains information about all types of things

from agar to wine.

 

Any questions, please ask. If you can't find something you're after,

just holler, I may know where to find it Additionally if you have

any comments about recipes you have tried, post them to the group and

I would be more than happy to add them to the bottom of the recipe in

the files.
