Competition Rules
- All dishes entered must be vegan. That means don’t use any animal products. Forego dairy, meat and eggs.  See below if you need some tips on cooking.
- Dishes must include some kind of pasta and some kind of cheese-like thing. The rest is up to you. Let’s see some really creative and delicious dishes.
- One entry per person. You can only enter one dish in the competition.
Judging
Winners will be decided by popular vote. The details of voting will be explained at the event. Last year the voting was a little confusing. This time we promise it will way easier.
Cooking Tips
- Check out the winning recipe from 2010 or stop by WooDaddy Waffle and try to get them to share their winning recipe from 2011.
- You could pick up some soy cheese from the Living Earth.
- Or try nutritional yeast and flour. Compassion Over Killing has a good recipe to get you started.
- Or make some cashew-based cheese.
- Google for some recipes, if you don’t have any ideas.
- Pro-tip: most brands of bacon bits are vegan.
Why Make It Vegan?
Every cow in the dairy industry is forced to give birth every single year in order to keep producing milk. Those calves are ripped from their mothers at birth and sold to the veal industry. They’re shackled in wooden crates for the entirety of their short, miserable lives. These calves are tortured, killed, cut up, and then their corpses are turned into veal to be fed to rich people. Yuck!

I need to know how much of my award-winning mac-n-cheese to make. About how many servings should be enough do you think?
Make enough for 8 people to eat a full meal. Everyone will take a little bit of each, so that should be enough.
