planet vegmel's 2nd birthday: that recipe seems very familiar...

September 14th sees the two-year anniversary of Planet VegMel, the useful and delightful way to read the foodie blogs of veg*ns from around Melbourne. In that time we've grown to 44 contributing blogs, covering all sorts of veg interests around Melbourne. We've also got a facebook page which, no pressure, you should feel free to like, and which is sometimes updated with links and new things that might not make it onto a blog post, such as the fact that there is now a mobile VegMel app!

To celebrate the Planet's two year anniversary, I am proud to announce the 'That Recipe Seems Very Familiar...' blog event. This blog event was suggested by Michael of Where's the Beef, and entails using the recipe (or recipes, don't let me restrict you) of a Melbourne vego blogger, and then blogging about it. Leave a comment on this post with a link to your remix, and on the 14th I will make a post with a round up of the original recipes and the remixes/attempts.



As part of the birthday celebrations, there will also be a Planet VegMel 2nd anniversary birthday picnic potluck at Edinburgh Gardens. Check out the facebook event for more details! Non-bloggers are very welcome to come along.

If people felt so inclined, they could bring their recipe to the picnic!

Love this theme as it's something I seem to do periodically anyway. Have just posted a haggis recipe originally from Johanna at GGG - http://veganisethis.blogspot.com/2011/08/haggis-that-recipe-seems-very-familiar.html

great idea for an event - and a nice way of creating a bit more community vibe around planet vegmel!

I made baked beans from Where's the Beef and Veganise this - http://gggiraffe.blogspot.com/2011/09/baked-beans-that-recipe-seems-very.html

Links ahoy! We've made and blogged kari kapitan, cottage tofu, baked cherry-chocolate cheesecake, cauliflower & caramelised onion tart, Toby's Singapore noodles and hash browns.

And now, thanks to the bonus picnic extension, we'll try to squeeze a few more in. :-)
