In May 2017, two of our group went out to visit a local Brownies group in Todmorden. We gave a cookery demo and a talk, with cupcakes for all! It went very well, and we hope to be able to visit them again soon.
Animal Aid are celebrating their 40th anniversary with the Vegan Festival of Britain, running 20 May to 10 June 2017. 3 Valley Vegans are joining in by hosting a stall on Todmorden open air market on Thursday, 1 June.
The information stall will be a celebration of veganism and will promote all things vegan. We will provide information about how and why to go vegan and where to buy and eat vegan food in the area. There will be lots of vegan recipes for people to take away and free samples of vegan food for people to try. If anyone would like to help out either by baking or creating some food samples to give away or by helping out on the stall then please contact Elizabeth on elizabethking@talktalk.net

Edit: here are some photos of the event, including the tart made by That Crusty Vegan.
Yesterday (30 April 2017), 3 Valley Vegans was asked to cater for the Todmorden Choral Society spring 2017 concert at Todmorden Town Hall. After the performance of Herakles, a new oratorio by Tim Benjamin, supper was served.
We are delighted to have been invited by Cllr Anthony H. Greenwood JP, and are indebted to the volunteers who prepared and served the tasty finger food dishes. The entirely vegan catered event was very well received, especially the bruschetta and chocolate ‘crack’ dishes. Thanks again, Hilary, Andrew and Angie for cooking, and Elizabeth, June and Phil for serving.
The ‘profit’ that 3 Valley Vegans made from this catering activity will be donated to Animal Aid, a charity who campaign peacefully against all forms of animal abuse and promote cruelty-free living.
We’re looking forward to trying out beer from Eagles Crag Brewery, all three bottles are suitable for vegans!

If you would like to volunteer even an hour of your time towards running this not-for-profit fair, we would love to hear from you! Please phone or email us on 01706 816848 or elizabethking@talktalk.net – thank you.
Edit 10 February: Did you come to our fair last week? We would really appreciate any feedback you may have, good or otherwise!
We had a wonderful time running the Big Veggie Brunch last week as part of National Vegetarian Week in Todmorden, offering free vegetarian and vegan breakfast foods to all. One of the most popular dishes was Andrew’s scrambled tofu. Here is the recipe for you to try it yourself!
The yellow colour of turmeric with the salt of the soy sauce helps to make this look and taste a bit like scrambled eggs (but better, in our opinion). Feel free to change the flavours to whatever you like, perhaps Mediterranean herbs or Chinese five-spice.
