The cookbook for this month is Fast Easy Cheap Vegan: 101 Recipes You Can Make in 30 Minutes or Less, for $10 or Less, and with 10 Ingredients or Less! by Sam Turnbull
If you are curious about vegan cooking, this club is for you! Each month, participants make three recipes from popular cookbooks then share their reflections with the group. Novice to expert cooks are welcome, as are interested non-cooks.
This month is our quarterly in-person discussion and potluck! You also have the option to attend online, as usual. Registration for the online meeting is not required—get log-in information below. If you are able to attend in person —great! Bring a vegan dish to share. It can be one of the recipes from this month’s discussion, past VRC recipes or just your favorite vegan dish.
