SEVEN DAYS OF satisfACTION
NATIONAL VEGETARIAN WEEK 2003
19 - 25 May
National Vegetarian
Week 2003 will run from 19 to 25 May. The Vegetarian Society invites you
to spring into action and take part in the seven day veggie challenge.
Starting from seven
basic recipes, the Society is encouraging the media, schools, supermarkets,
consumers, caterers and eateries to create their own variations according
to factors of taste, budget and style. Each of our basic dishes is simple,
tasty and cheap to prepare, with lots of room for embellishment.
We
hope that this challenge will inspire food editors and cookery writers
to compete
with
each other to produce the tastiest twist - or run their own readers
competitions.
A great story for a feature, The Vegetarian Society wants to show that
cooking vegetarian food is both straightforward and unlimited in scope.
Whether you’ve a taste for traditional British fayre or far-flung
foreign flavours, vegetarian food really can satisfy everybody.
National
Vegetarian Week 2002 received enormous media and consumer interest
- don’t miss the opportunity to make a meal of it in 2003. A press
pack containing the seven core recipes, information about sponsors as
well as food and editorial ideas will be available from the Vegetarian
Society Press Office in January.
The Vegetarian Society
is the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. It offers an independent
voice to promote and provide information on vegetarianism.
