\#\# About Veg Forward

\#\# Vegan Recipe Club General Details

The Vegan Recipe Club is for everyone—those curious about vegan cooking and those more experienced with it. The club explores plant-based recipes created by cooks of varying cultures and nationalities and cookbooks are suitable for the novice to experienced cook.

This club aims to feature recipes that are great tasting and support the health of participants. It’s a chance to build community with others interested in vegan cooking. Best of all, these meals also help the animals and the environment!

You’re invited to a **Vegan Dine-Out Night** in support of a wonderful local restaurant!

Join us for a delicious evening of plant-based food, community, and connection—hosted by Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA) volunteer Laura H. This is a great chance to support a family-run business and enjoy amazing vegan cuisine with like-minded folks.

📅 **When:** Wednesday, July 2nd, 6:00-7:30PM

**🍽️ The Food:** Lulu EthioVegan serves flavorful, authentic Ethiopian dishes. Menu highlights include spicy lentil stew (miser wot), sautéed collard greens (gomen), crispy sambusas, mushroom tibs, and generous combo platters with injera for sharing. Traditional drinks like telba (flaxseed) and suff (sunflower seed) are also available. Don’t skip the vegan baklava or brownies for dessert!

🏆 **Lulu EthioVegan has won multiple awards** based on diner ratings, like the **[2024 Vegan Chili Cook-Off](https://caa.mn/2024/02/19/spicy-highlights-from-the-13th-annual-vegan-chili-cook-off/),** and the Second Place (of 24 restaurants) in the **[2024 Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge](https://caa.mn/2024/09/28/the-results-are-in-discover-the-2024-twin-cities-vegan-chef-challenge-winners/)**. Both award-winning dishes, the Dinich Wot (Stewed Potatoes) and Chili are still available!

🧡 You’ll be able to connect with others around CAA’s other vegan programming and take a quick digital action to support animal welfare laws, as well!

Let’s show our support and appreciation for local businesses making a difference. Put your money where your values are. We hope to see you there!

Note: CAA Dine-out meals are always at the diner's individual expense. Diners are always asked to order only vegan items (in this case that is not an issue!)

Vegan Dine-Out Night at Lulu EthioVegan

Lulu EthioVegan Cuisine

If you are interested in eating yummy vegan food, need some new recipes to add to your menu, and want to have great conversations with like-minded people, this group is for you!

Each month we make a vegan dish with a specific ingredient. The ingredient for April will be posted in the discussion when it is selected! Prepare a main dish, side dish, dessert, or appetizer using the selected ingredient. Please bring the recipe or the list of ingredients to share, and please bring a reusable plate to cut down on waste. Your dish should not contain any meat, eggs, dairy, fish, butter, or derivatives of these products.

We will meet in the youth room of Salem Covenant Church – 339 North 59th Ave. W in Duluth. There is plenty of parking in the lot. Feel free to bring your veg-friendly friends!

This group is sponsored by Compassionate Action for Animals and is a welcoming and non-judgmental group. Everyone is welcome – wherever you are on your veg journey!

In 2025, the Duluth Vegan Cooking Group will be quarterly -- on the third Thursdays of the month during January, April, July, and October.

Contact info@exploreveg.org with any questions.
