A Virtual Vegan by Melanie McDonald

Sharing this before I overthink it !!

Published 2 days ago • 1 min read

Hi there, Reader

I’ve been working on something new, and I finally get to tell you!

Introducing - My new, completely free, custom online community! It's an inviting, cozy space where we can chat, share tips, swap ideas, hang out like friends in the kitchen, and more.

It’s fun and not on social media, so there are no algorithms involved. I’m so excited to connect with you in an even more personal way!

Inside the community, you can:
​
• Get direct access to me!
• Share what you’re cooking. You can even upload pictures. It's a great way to share your AVV recipe remake pics!
• Ask questions (and actually get answers!)
• Cheer each other on and swap ideas.
• Connect with other people who get way too excited about vegan recipes and delicious food.

But here's where it gets REALLY fun:

You get first access to new recipes
​I’ll be sharing some recipes inside the community first, before they ever hit my website!

You help decide what I make next
​Drop your recipe ideas in the dedicated recipe request thread. I’ll be picking popular requests to turn into real recipes! I might even ask you to vote on recipe ideas that I should work on.

See behind the scenes

I'll be giving you sneak peeks of recipes I'm working on and what's going on behind the scenes. I'm sure Charlie and Chester will end up making some appearances!

You’re basically an official taste tester
​Yes, that’s your title now (if you want it to be). I'll be asking for volunteers to try the recipes I'm developing and give me their feedback. Be part of the process behind the scenes.

Your voice matters.
​Help shape the new recipes I create and the direction the community goes.

Exclusive giveaways
​I'll be holding some giveaways just for members (once enough people have joined and the community is a little more established).

So if you’ve ever thought, “I NEED to tell someone about these amazing vegan cookies” or “I wish Mel would make this…” or “I do not know what went wrong... HELP!”...The AVV Community is for you.

Oh, and did I mention there's an app?? Yep!

I can’t wait to hang out with you!

Hi there, Reader If you've found yourself googling, "what can I make with all this zucchini?" while avoiding eye contact with the vegetable drawer, allow me to intervene! Vegan Zucchini Bread đź“Ś PIN FOR LATER "This zucchini bread really is THE BEST. Almost every single person I have shared this bread with has told me afterward that it was the most amazing zucchini bread they had ever had, and could they please have the recipe? None of them are vegans (or knew that the bread was vegan)." -...

Hi there, Reader Ooops! I quietly published this recipe weeks ago, and just realized I forgot to send a newsletter to let you know. You know those recipes that quietly become a permanent fixture in your fridge because they make literally everything taste better? Well, this Nutritional Yeast Dressing is one of them, and it absolutely deserves your attention! It's creamy, tangy, rich, and absolutely packed with umami. Try it with: Salads. Rice and noodles. Grain bowls. Tofu and tempeh. Veggies....
