Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Accomodating special needs at meals

[Randa Johnson (Saranda]

Another two cents-
As a long time vegetarian, I am wary of leaving things up to cook's
choice.  There is something profoundly disheartening about going to a
meal put on by a friend, community member or family member and finding
out that I can eat the bread and the spinach.   
Most people, especially those with little experience  with vegetarians/
vegans/ food allergies, need a little support if they are going to be
able to offer an appetizing meal that is outside the bounds of what they
usually cook.   Encouraging cook teams to include a vegetarian/vegan or
someone familiar with vegetarian/vegan recipes, and encouraging the
people with special food requirements to come up with a list of easy
recipes that everyone can draw from will get better results.
