365 Days of Plant-Based Cooking, Eating & Living…Made Easy!
In an attempt to stay true to my work and mission of “Changing the World One Vegetarian Meal at a Time!” and in addition to the much anticipated upcoming book that I am writing, I’m also in the process of creating a 2015 calendar titled “365 Days of Plant Based Cooking, Eating and Living…Made Easy!” (Copyright 2013)
Designed to give quick, simple and easy tips, meal suggestions, ideas, advice, recipes and plenty of information that people can use daily; this calendar is being created to help others transition to a plant-based diet and/or plant-based lifestyle. In addition, the calendar will also feature an exercise, veggie, fruit, grain and legume of the month.
To make it fun, interesting and exciting, I am asking for your participation. Submit your tip (s), suggestion (s), idea (s), advice, recipe (s) and any information associated with eating, cooking and living a plant-based diet and/or plant-based lifestyle that you may want to share to: A. Chef Ifayomi Victory, P.O. Box 1460, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33302 and possibly be a part of a process that will give us an opportunity to create something that’s informative, practical and engaging.
Much like the Kickstarter concept (which by the way, I plan to use as a means to help fund the production and printing cost of this highly anticipated publication), what you will receive for your information, tip (s), idea (s), suggestion (s), advice, (medical or otherwise) or recipe (s), will be determined based on your level of participation.
Level 1
If you give us a tip, suggestion or piece of advice that we decide to use, you will receive an honorable mention on our FB page and your name printed on the “Thank You & Honorable Mentions” page in the calendar; if you give a meal idea or a significant piece of information (all medical information must contain the resource from which it was obtained) that we decide to use you will receive an honorable mention on our FB page and your name printed on the “Thank You & Honorable Mentions” page in the calendar plus 1 free calendar*.
Level 2
If you are a chef, cook, food enthusiast or foodies that share a recipe and/or meal idea and we decide to use it, you will receive an honorable mention on our FB page, your name printed on the “Thank You & Honorable Mentions” page in the calendar plus one free copy of the calendar* and 15% off all additional orders of 5 or more.
Level 3
If you are a doctor, physician, nurse or medical researcher/professional and we decide to use the information you share, you will receive an honorable mention on our FB page, your name and/or company information printed on the “Thank You & Honorable Mentions” page in the calendar, one free calendar*, plus 50% off the cost of all additional orders of 5 or more.
Level 4
Those who submit more than one submission (i.e. a recipe and meal suggestion) and we decide to use both, you will receive an honorable mention on our FB page, your name printed on the “Thank You & Honorable Mentions” page in the calendar plus a free SIGNED copy of the calendar* and 20% off all additional orders of 5 or more.
This calendar is being created and designed with the passionate idea that with the right information and easy to use recipes, meal ideas, tips and suggestions etc., people will see the simplicity and importance of eating a plant-based diet and how it can be used as a vehicle to help
reverse and in some cases eradicate the diseases associated with hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, heart disease, allergies and some forms of cancer. According to a recent “Vegetarian Times” survey 53% of people who follow a plant-based diet do so to improve their overall health. Consequently, with a well thought out marketing and distribution plan, it is our mission and ultimate goal to utilize the calendar as a means of reaching the remaining 47%.
As a result, a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the calendar will go toward: The Vegetarian Resource Group (www.vrg.org), the Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine (www.pcrm.org) the American Diabetic Association (www.diabetes.org), and the American Heart Association (www.heart.org) for their continued effort, research work and support relative to promoting plant-based eating as a means for obtaining and maintaining optimal health.
So, here are my ideas about the content of the calendar and what I’m looking for:
•Scientific medically based information about the benefits of eating a plant-based diet (all medical information must contain the resource from which it was obtained).
•A short, simple and easy tip, suggestion or pieces of information that the reader can apply to their daily diet and/or lifestyle.
•Simple meal suggestions and/or changes that the reader can apply to their daily diet and/or lifestyle.
•Quick and simple raw or cooked plant-based recipes of soups, main dishes and desserts.
•Family favorite recipes that were changed or modified to make them plant-based.
•Grocery shopping tips, suggestions and advice.
•Cooking ideas, tips or suggestions that make transitioning to a plant-based diet simple and worry free.
•Basic Kitchen and/or Plant-Based Lifestyle and Household tips or suggestions.
You don’t have to be vegan or vegetarian to participate, however, your entry MUST be something that a person can change, include, incorporate, prepare, cook or eat that is plant-based (vegan). All submissions must be sent with a signed and dated Waiver/Release Form (see attached).
Any submissions submitted without a dated and signed waiver/release form WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED! The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2013.
In the meantime, please feel free to view the 3 minute “Meet Chef Ifayomi II” YouTube video link at the bottom. I attached it to further share my passion and work in promoting a plant-based diet and to show why I feel as if I am professionally equipped to take on a project such as this one.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and support. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
*Providing that we meet our fund-raising goal for this project, expected shipping for calendars is February 2014.
