Description of Restriction Categories
You can restrict the recipe search to recipes of a specific type. The
categories are:
- Vegan
- This will limit the recipe search only to those recipes that do
NOT contain milk or milk products, eggs or liquid egg substitutes, or
honey. If a recipe lists one of these ingredients but indicates that
it is optional or lists an *explicit* vegan substitute, it will still
qualify as vegan. A recipe listing "honey or other sweetener" will
not be considered vegan, while one listing "honey or maple syrup" or
"honey (optional)" will be. All recipes listing "soy cheese" are
considered lactovegetarian, since all of the low fat soy cheeses
contain casein, a milk protein. Recipes listing "egg substitutes" are
considered ovovegetarian unless an explicit vegan option is named
(such as EnerG powder or "powdered egg replacer"). Other than honey,
all sugars are considered
vegan for the purposes of this archive. As are all wines, beers, and
liquors.
- Nearly Vegan
- This will limit recipes to all vegan recipes (as defined above) as
well as recipes that contain honey but not milk or egg products.
- OvoVegetarian
- This will limit recipes to all vegan and nearly vegan recipes as
well as recipes that contain egg products but not milk products.
- LactoVegetarian
- This will limit recipes to all vegan and nearly vegan recipes as
well as recipes that contain milk products but not egg products.
- Any Vegetarian
- This will place no limits on the recipes -- all vegan, nearly
vegan, ovovegetarian, lactovegetarian, and recipes containing both egg
and milk products will be included. All recipes in the archive are
vegetarian.
How the restriction works:
All recipes contain one and only one of the following
keywords: kwvegan, kwhoney, kwovo, kwlacto, or kwovolacto. You can
restrict recipes to a specific category by adding the following search
strings to your search:
- Vegan: "and kwvegan"
- Nearly vegan: "and (kwvegan or kwhoney)"
- Ovovegetarian: "and (kwvegan or kwhoney or kwovo)"
- Lactovegetarian: "and (kwvegan or kwhoney or kwlacto)"
