Potluck Lunch at Rithika's Place




The potluck held in Thane on 19th September, 2010 was planned to coincide with the arrival of Damian Eadie, CEO of Vegeco Ltd, U.K. Damian is in India doing research on the market for vegetarian/ vegan dog and cat food in India.

He brought along some goodies for everyone there. It included cheese in different flavours, sausages, soy creams, gravy, ready to make packets of typical English sausages and nut roasts, mayonnaise, whipped cream, oat cream and so much more! All vegan and yummy! He also showed us how to make 'Bangers and Mash' which is some sausage on some baked potato with gravy on top.

After all that, we still had some more yummy food which everyone brought along which included Tamarind Rice, Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies, Batata Vadas, Koftas in Gravy, Tofu Cutlets, Biryani, Pineapple Salsa, Soy Free Lemon Mousse, White Bean Salad, Orange and Passion Fruit Juice!

Everyone took home some fun memories from this potluck. Hope the people who missed it this time will be able to make it next time and make it bigger and better!

Meet Young Vegans

Meet Sneha Poojary, a young Mumbai Vegan, who became Vegan on her own....and then after many months, actually discovered more vegans in Mumbai...Here is how she introduces herself.
In a conversation a person said to me that, "We should concentrate on human’s right first". My answer: "Fighting for human's right is good... my question here is, How does being cruel to animals help us to fight for human's rights?""Superiority of humans is reflected by saving helpless animals not killing them."
Welcome Sneha!
