My mom sent me the newsletter for Pittsburgh East End Food Co-Op the other day. The East End Food Co-Op is a really wonderful co-op and has been there at least as long as I can remember. They have an amazing herb/spice and bulk selection, a little cafe with delicious prepared food, and lots of other great food. Plus, that place has a smell that is so familiar to me, it’s like home. I think it’s a mixture of bulk grains, herbs, spices, and it smells a little bit of carob. Anyway, it looks like they’re hosting a Vegan Cook-Off in March as part of the Pittsburgh Food Policy Council’s Local Food Showcase. It looks like the way it works is that the public submits recipes that are then judged by professional chefs. What’s not quite clear to me is whether the recipe creators actually cook the food in real time, or…? In any case, my mom suggested that I submit a recipe. Sounds like fun!
Here is the newsletter with the announcement about it (more details to follow, I hope).
If you were in a vegan cook-off, what would you make?

Vegan gingerbread or kale and white bean soup would be two of my favorites, and there is always the green chili. 🙂
