Description:
In an effort to encourage us all to eat more veggies - and enjoy them! - I thought I'd start this alphabetized vegetable-based recipe swap series. Each swap will feature one type of vegetable, and we will swap recipes that feature or use that vegetable. Recipes that are vegetarian/vegan are preferred, or at least are veg-friendly (like, the original calls for bacon but you can easily leave it out, for example). Please indicate with your recipe whether it is vegan, vegetarian, or veg-friendly. You will get three partners and will send AT LEAST one recipe to each. If you have more, that's great. One is required. It can be your own creation, copied from another source, or even a link to a website. If you have a purchasing/storage/preparation/growing tip related to that vegetable, feel free to add that to your email If your partner sends you a recipe, please give them a 5. If they send several, or you really love that recipe, give a heart :) This swap will feature the lovely artichoke. Do you have an artichoke recipe you love? Perhaps a dip? Or on a pizza? I will try to set up a swap in this series once a week or so, but I can't guarantee it because of a flexible and unpredictable work schedule. This series will be open to newbies and have no minimum rating requirement, because hey, its just an email recipe. Its not like it costs you any money.

Fantastic idea! How do I follow the rest of the series if I want to participate in later ones? Is there a way of watching you or something?

I ask because I only have one recipe that contains artichoke and it is currently NOT veg-friendly, but if I can think of something good to substitute in for the Parma ham, I will participate. I don't want to just bodge it though because the original was a truly awesome recipe so I'll need to think really carefully about how to adapt it without ruining it!

I also have some suggestions and questions. Firstly, I presume it's okay to send the same recipe to all your partners? Something about the way you phrased "at least one to each" made it feel like we were expected to send different? Also, I would feel more comfortable with this swap if you made it a requirement that they have to have tried out the recipe themselves - or at the least know someone who has (like it's their granny's secret recipe or something). I would much prefer to receive things that were tried and tested, rather than something they may have got off the internet and it could be rubbish!

Watching for now but really keen on this and the rest of the series!

If there is a way to follow me, I'm not sure what it is. I'm not very savvy to all that fancy stuff :)

Yes, you can send the same recipe to each person.
