Rose
Elliot becomes a Patron of The Vegetarian Society
July 2002
The Vegetarian Society
is delighted to announce the appointment of Rose Elliot MBE as its new
Patron.
Rose Elliot's first
book 'Simply Delicious', was published in 1967 and since that time she
has written over fifty more vegetarian cookery books, published in several
languages and many countries. Awarded an MBE in 1999 for services to
vegetarian
cuisine, Rose joins the Society at its most exciting time of year, with
National Vegetarian Week and the 35th World Vegetarian Congress at Heriot
Watt University, Edinburgh, in full swing. For further information about
National Vegetarian Week
and the World
Vegetarian Congress visit the Society's website www.vegsoc.org
Rose, who lives
in Hampshire and London, does not intend to waste any time in her new
role
and will be giving cookery demonstrations at the World Vegetarian Congress,
which the Society is proud to be hosting on behalf of the International
Vegetarian Union. "Not so long ago, all vegetarians were offered
in restaurants, if we were lucky, was a choice of cheese salad or an omelette.
The food at the Congress is, I know, going to be a far cry from that,"
said Rose. "I am looking forward very much to demonstrating at the
Congress - with the accent on fast recipes with fresh ingredients - and
hope to say 'hello' to many of the Society's members personally."
Rose Elliot joins
current Vegetarian Society Patrons Jerome Flynn, Sir Paul McCartney and
Stella McCartney.
The Vegetarian Society,
a registered educational charity, is the oldest vegetarian organisation
in the world. It offers an independent voice able to promote and provide
information on vegetarianism
