Also, most everything I teach is infused with the message in The World Peace Diet written by Will Tuttle.  I could however speak on the WPD as well as I am one of Will's facilitators.

This is a wonderful idea!  I was recently at the Animal Rights Conference here and there was a vegan shoe company there as a vendor.  I will find the name and send it to you. 

Also, I would love to be there either a vegan educator, chef, or to speak on genetically modified organisms. 

I do know of someone who has created a vegan expo in your part of the world.  This does not mean that you have to do the same thing he did, great to partner and mind share with though :-)  I will find his website and send it to you.  Also, will send the vegan clothing companies here in the states.

Thanks Tara.  I will give it a go.  Here is a request for some helpful suggestions from this community.  I have had in mind for some time now to organise a Vegan Expo, that will be intended to showcase the best in food and vegan friendly clothing and footwear that will attract lots of people who aren't vegan or vegetarian.  I live in Melbourne Australia which is quite a vegan friendly city in food outlets etc, but the clothing and footwear is not so easy to identify as it is all over the place. Some ideas on how to go about this will be greatly appreciated. I'm aiming for 2013.  Melbourne has an annual food and wine festival about February (our Summer) and was hoping to coincide with that to get vegan food more accepted as mainstream. I was quite horrified to see some of the titles for the festival coming up in February, just making light of eating animals, and couldn't see anything that vaguely included vegan diets. What I was thinking was seeing if there are some top chefs who do vegan and seeing if they may be interested in coming to such an event. Do you know of any other similar events elsewhere in the world?  Any ideas will be appreciated.  Cheers and Happy Cruelty-free Christmas to all.

Dino Sarma's impromptu recipe for chilli using TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein).

This week in the main chat window Dino and Jason had a conversation about cooking using TVP. During that conversation Dino offered this great recipe. A member suggested that it would be good to copy the recipe so it can more easily be shared. Thanks for the suggestion to do that, and thanks for the recipe.

Chilli with TVP.
Sautee onions, garlic, and thyme together in a stock pot, add cumin and
coriander, and cook till softened. Add a few peppers, some chiles, and a bit of chili powder. Sautee another 10 minutes. Add tomato paste, and cook with the veg for 4 minutes. Then throw in a bit of diced tomato, and the dry TVP along with some beer, and crank up the heat to high. The TVP will hydrate, the tomatoes will break down, and the beer will cook out the alcohol all at once. Mhmm! And then finish it off with a bit of tequila, and simmer for 15 minutes, and you're done. :-D No messy millions of pots to clean up. And while you're there? Might as well bake off a load of potatoes in the oven. And stuff them piled high with your freshly made chili. And make like a 2 second tofu sour cream,
buy whizzing a block of tofu, some lime juice, and a pinch of salt. And you can sautee buns in olive oil and garlic, and have croutons for your chili. Your house will smell awesome, you'll have enough food to feed a vegan army, and you've got leftovers. And all of it took less than 45 minutes! No need for five million hours of simmering. The TVP, when added dry, soaks up all the excess liquid (and flavour), and prevents you from having to simmer forever to get it thick. And cooking the ground spices with the onions and garlic releases the flavours quickly. Also, the beer and tequila bring out the alcohol soluble flavours.
Thanks Dino for the inpiration!!!

Good suggestion on requiring participants to produce a dish that would turn meat eaters vegan...

Comment by Kerry Baker on July 17, 2011 at 10:09

Hi Maynard.  I think vegan is appropriate.  Perhaps you can make it a challenge that they have to produce a dish that will turn meat eaters vegan?  I mean that in a fun sort of way but the test has to be if it is going to entice people who will not normally eat vegan.  I think doing something to encompass everyone will be the way to go, and people who normally eat meat will perhaps be more interested if there appears to be something in it for them.  And in the cooking make sure that the commentary includes nutritional information so people are getting the message that vegan is healthy.  Good luck sounds like a wonderful idea.

In Boston, Tzu Chi, the Chinese (Mandarin-speaking) vegetarian Buddhist  charitable organization wants (talked with me about starting) a vegetarian iron chef competition.  Some folks suggest that 'open kitchen' competition might be more appropriate for a smaller operation, like ours.  But they want to have it in or around Boston's Chinatown, and they want to give it a largely 'Chinese flavor' (well, they're Chinese, aren't they, and they want to give their teenage sons and daughters some culturally appropriate way to express their Chinese vegetarianism).  

So, we could agree that it could be all vegan.  Then, if we move forward, we WOULD agree that it WOULD be all vegan in the ingredients (though anyone could participate).

Any suggestions on how to REALLY proceed with this?  EMail me. 

I've e-mailed the Veg-Asian-American@YahooGroups.com list.

At OUR home, we see oatmeal every morning.  Might that count?
