It’s such a hot trend\, that according to food-industry consulting firm Technomic\, bowls have seen a 29.7% rise in the entree category over the last five years. \nOf course\, bowl food is not new\, but it is having a moment. \nWhen I was dreaming up this book\, I asked around. Many people that I know were already doing bowl food\, for a multitude of reasons. There were the families with kids\, where a peaceful meal was just easier when everybody piled their chosen veggies and proteins on top of a bowl of grain or vegetable. There were single people\, who assembled prepped and leftover foods into a bowl and drizzled on a sauce\, so they could enjoy a varied meal without dirtying multiple dishes. There were couples with mixed diet-styles\, sharing a bowl concept that could be customized without too much trouble. \n \nVegan Recipe Club General Details\nThe Vegan Recipe Club is for everyone—those curious about vegan cooking and those more experienced with it. The club explores plant-based recipes created by cooks of varying cultures and nationalities and cookbooks are suitable for the novice to experienced cook. \nThis club aims to feature recipes that are great tasting and support the health of participants. It’s a great way to explore great new recipes\, work out issues in different recipes\, and to build community with others interested in vegan cooking. Best of all\, these meals also help the animals and the environment! \nHow does it work?\nIn the month prior to the Vegan Recipe Club meeting\, you can download the recipes for free. You can also request the entire cookbook from your local library. Try making one or more of the recipes\, then come to share and discuss what you thought about them with the group. \nThe group is facilitated by volunteer Henry Patterson of Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA). If you have questions about the recipes or the Vegan Recipe Club between meetings\, email info@exploreveg.org. \nJoin us online!\nThe club meets monthly on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm. Meetings are held via Zoom — see details below. In July and October of 2026\, we will host an in-person potluck in conjunction with the meeting.
