I want to thank everyone who participated in the 1st Annual Vegan Valentine Contest; thank you for the time and effort you put into creating wonderful recipes.  I also want to to thank everyone who visited the blog and voted for their favorite recipes, thank you.  Now onto the winners of each category:

Dessert

Nicole’s Chili Cheesecake in the raw is the winner with 62% of the votes

Recipe that Most Embraced the themes

This category is based on the recipe that most embraced the themes of fiery, Valentine’s Day and of course vegan.  I felt that there were a few recipes that really stood out to me that had the potential to be the recipe that most embraced the themes but there was one that stood out the most to me.  I also asked you to help me out and tell me your favorite overall recipe that embraced the themes and we came to the same conclusion. And the Winner is:

Nicole’s Chili Cheesecake in the raw

New Category- Husband’s Choice

The Hubz fought hard for this to win the overall since the recipe was not only runner up for best dessert but also for best overall (and because it is his favorite) I decided to let him have a Husband’s Choice Category which will be included in future contest because without him this blog wouldn’t be the same. So Congrats!

Between now and Thursday February 10, 2011 post a recipe on your blog for a dish suitable for a romantic Valentine’s dinner. It should be vegan and and it should be fiery (yes take that anyway you’d like) and should include a photo.

There will be 3 categories (you can enter ONE recipe per catagory):
1. Appetizer
2. Entree
3. Desserts

Mention in your post that you are participating in “Fiery Vegan Valentine Contest” and link back to this post. Then, send me an email (lindsay at cookingforaveganlover dot com) with your name, the name of your blog, and the permalink and name of your recipe. (If you don’t have a blog, feel free to email me your recipe and photo and I will feature it on my blog.)

On Friday February 11, 2011 I will do a round-up of all the posts in each category and there will be a poll for readers to vote for their favorite Appetizer, Entree and Dessert.  Voting will be open until February 13, 2011 at 9pm EST.

The Prize:
1. There will be one winner from each category based on the votes by fellow readers; if there is a tie the Hubz will be brought in to decide the winner. The prize for each will be a surprise but I guarantee it will be good and feature a vegan item(s) from our NYC trip.
2. For the person who creates the most inventive fiery recipe overall will receive their own special surprise goodie box. This winner will be decided by me.

Note you do not need to be vegan to participate in this contest, however your recipe entry must be vegan.  Have fun and be creative!
