Thanks for the welcome Kerry :) I think you have the right way of doing it and the variety of fruits and veggies can only make it more interesting and taste so good.

Thanks Tracey and a very big welcome.  I have found that cutting the beetroot in slices works well.  I bought an Angel juicer which is fabulous and I'm finding that by alternating the vege's that I'm putting through makes it blend really well.  I put a lot of carrot and celery and kale into it as well.  Delicious with the beetroot and a dash of ginger.

Hi Kerry,i am doing raw juicing everyday and i add just abit of beetroot.I haven't found it clogging up my juicer and that might be because of how little beetroot i put into it.I add ginger and garlic with my fruits and carrot and celery.I find the beetroot really colours my juice too :)

Does anyone have experience in raw juicing?  I have recently invested in an Angel juicer and a Vitamix.  I have found that trying to juice beetroot is a bit difficult as it tends to clog up the grinders and I'm not sure I'm getting the best out of them.  Carrots, kale, parsley and so on are all fine and the juice is great, but I'd really like to include the beetroot.  I'm also wondering about pomegranate, is anyone has suggestions about juicing those.  Cheers

Thanks Tara.  I have ordered the DVD and the book from amazon and waiting for them to arrive.  I'm currently trying to be mostly raw vegan and feel much better for it, but always good to have the recipes for the variety.  I'll be interested to see their health claims because that is the main reason people use why they don't become vegan or vegetarian. So having something to refer people to will be helpful when i comes up in discussion.  Thanks for the link too but not a lot here that is sold in Oz I think.  However I do go for the organic and non-gmo food and avoid those that aren't labelled.  For example I never buy anything with canola oil, or that just states it has 'vegetable oil' as this is usually canola. Tastes awful anyway and can't understand why anybody would prefer canola over good old olive oil.  Cheers

Hi Kerry! I saw your comment about the Forks Over Knives movie and recipes.  I saw the movie and highly recommend it as a way to help people understand the level of knowledge and research that has been done to support a vegan diet.  And the level of research around disease and the causes of disease.  

I looked at the recipes and they look delicious!  Try and find versions of the corn and soy ingredients that have not been genetically modified (non-GMO) though.  Those corn tortillas and soy sour cream sound really great until you realize they are packed with more than you asked for.  

Here is a link to a website where you can check your brands and see if they truly are GMO free.  http://www.nongmoproject.org/take-action/search-participating-produ...

P.S.  This is the same genetically modified or genetically engineered corn that is being forced on the farm animals.  Also, buying organic is a better bet, however not a sure thing especially with corn and soy.

Hi.  See link to a site advocating a plant based diet to achieve optimum health.  Has anybody seen this film or obtained the book? 

http://www.forksoverknives.com/

I'm planning on ordering it but am interested to know if anyone has obtained and tried the recipes in the books available on the website.  They don't do international postage yet unfortunately but they are all available from Amazon at comparable prices.

Sources of vegan cooking classes locally (wouldn't it be nice tobe able to document this through some existing online resource?):

* Macrobiotics

* Quan Yin (Loving Hut) groups

* Seventh Day Adventist Churches
* Buddhist Centers (some ARE vegetarian; Westernized groups are often tragically 'selective' and are therefore only NOMINALLY 'Buddhist' - though they continue to use the term 'advisedly' - without accountability) 
* Vegetarian Societis and vegan groups

* Animal Rights groups

* Vegetarian and vegan restaurants

* Independent culinary teachers
* Community centers, free schools, some colleges, some cultural groups

* Jain centers 
* Online instruction 

* Videos and DVDs - could be shared with friends in one's own home

* Books and magazines [but usually not much more than recipes; shares little if anything about technique, philosophy of (a) veganism OR (b) cooking and food and its relationship to the planet or health]. 

Every source has ITS drawbacks, but with drawbacks sometimes comes a resource that can be selectively valued for its utility.

My directions were unclear, here is a better version:

directions:

For oil-free sautéing, saute garlic and onion in a little broth. Or sauté in sesame oil. Add mushrooms and continue to cook.

Add all of the additional ingredients except the sausage, kale, and coconut oil. Cook for about 30 minutes.  Mash some of the sweet potatoes when they start to get soft in the soup pot (for a creamy soup).

Add the sausage cook for 10 minutes more or so, add kale and a spoon full of coconut oil. Cook covered until the kale wilts and is bright green.

Stir well, taste test and make sure everything is cooked through.  Serve with plain unsweetened soy yogurt (Whole Soy & Co. is non-GMO).

Hi Tara.  Thanks for this and yes any contacts will be gratefully received.  I am constantly becoming more aware of how many products use animal content that is so unnecessary, even car tyres for example.  So I would like to get awareness out that you can have everything you need without necessarily having to torture animals to have it. I have introduced vegan cupcakes for example to people at work and they are becoming more aware and respectful of the issues. I do think it's high time to get the clear message out that being vegan is 'cool' and you can have delicious food and really fashionable clothing and footwear as a vegan. I will keep you in the loop. I will need advice and help from someone who has experience in arranging these large expo's but I guess where there's a will there is always a way.  Cheers
