Vegan Gourmet Recipe Mailing List

Like many things on this site, the Vegan Gourmet Mailing List has been done before. This time it was a Tofubandit who ran a list a few years ago. As is so often the case, Windows crashed continually, until the list of email addresses that had subscribed to Gourmets was gone...

Now the Tofubandits are too busy doing other things to build up the Vegan Gourmet Recipe List again - so if you have a recipe send it in, and we promise to put it here on this very page gourmet@tofubandits.org.uk

In the meantime don't forget to have a look at these vegan recipe pages:
