## 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 great way to explore great new recipes, work out issues in different recipes, and to build community with others interested in vegan cooking. Best of all, these meals also help the animals and the environment!

## How does it work?

In the month prior to the Vegan Recipe Club meeting, you can download the recipes for free from the top of this page. Try making one or more of the recipes then come to share and discuss what you thought about them with the group.
The group is facilitated by volunteer Henry Patterson of Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA). If you have questions about the recipes or the Vegan Recipe Club between meetings, email [info@exploreveg.org](mailto:info@exploreveg.org).
