Vegan MoFo


Vegan Mo Fo VeganMoFo III: Vegan Month of Food, with over 320 Vegan Blogs Participating ( News from Hungry Hungry Veganos )

The 3rd Annual Vegan Month of Food (aka VeganMoFo) prepares to take the blogosphere by storm. Starting October 1st, over 320 Vegan bloggers from all around the globe will pledge to post at least five days a week for the whole month of October. The most dedicated participants try to blog all 31 days. Food writers, bloggers, and home cooks will write about what they eat, where they have eaten, what they cook, and where they are doing the cooking, all with the intention of showing off the wide and varied world of Vegan food and lifestyle.

VeganMoFo kicks off on October 1st and continues through the month of October. You can find the alphabetized list of all participating blogs online at Cake Maker to the Stars (http://kitteekake.blogspot.com). There you can also find a link to the public RSS feed, where anyone can browse the latest posts from all the participating blogs in one place! (http://kitteekake.blogspot.com/2009/09/vegan-mofo-iii-public-feed-info.html)

First organized by Vegan chef and cookbook author Isa Chandra Moskowitz (theppk.com), Vegan MoFo has been gathering more and more enthusiasts each year. Participants begin brainstorming themes for their month-of-daily-entries with great enthusiasm. In previous years, bloggers have written about everything from Veganizing recipes to eating in foreign countries, to 31 days of Vegan Halloween-themed treats, to local restaurants, and to reviewing Vegan products. Posts include beautiful photographs, tantalizing recipes, and thoughtful musings.

Vegan Cook Book Launch, Celebrity DVD

Vegan Cook Book Launch, Celebrity DVD & UK’s Top 10 Vegetarian Celebrity Products

new vegan cookbook

I think it's only fair that I declare, well not really a conflict of interest, it's my blog after all, but a vested interest.

Our new Vegan Cookbook by Lorenz comes out (finally) in June but journalists are invited to have a sneak preview at some advanced copies at The National Vegetarian Week Big Breakfast event at tibits in Piccadilly London on Thursday 21st May

New Champions of fruit and Vegetables?

New Ice Age Wall of Ice



Vegetarianism has found a new Superhero in the shape of The British Frozen Food Federation.

Intent on publicising the environmental and health benefits of food preserved with Nature's most natural preserving method, the BFFF Ice Wall installation on London's arty South Bank was a crowd puller for London's Commuters yesterday.

It was like a vegetarian version of Damian Hirst's revolting pickled animals!

Let's hope the BFFF get involved in National Vegetarian Week in 2009 and help to celebrate 65 years of vegans promoting fresh fruit and vegetables.

Something Fishy Mobile Vegan Catering

Something Fishy Mobile Vegan Catering

Vegan Fishy Superheroes need help!

vegan fish and chips The amazing world's first vegan fish and chip van is under threat within 12 months of it's start up. Seems the original van was a bit of a lemon and the volunteers need £20,000 for a new van.

If you know someone who could help the van is used by tens of thousands of people each year - a good opportunity for a company who makes eco friendly green vans I think or someone like Redwoods who make vegan fish alternatives (such as fishless fingers)

Perhaps you just have too big a tax bill this year and would rather it go to this worthy cause than towards fighting wars in Iraq etc.
