The SPCA Israel annual calendar is dedicated this year to vegan recipes, with the aim of raising public awareness to lessening consumption of animal products and reducing animal suffering.
Many chefs joined forces to create this year’s calender: Reena Pushkarna (“Tandoori”), Sawalee Eldar, Tziona Melman, Avigail Meizlick and Nof Etmana Ismail (“Master Chef”) as well as chocolatier Ika Cohen, culinary expert Yael Gerty, health consultant Umina Kedmi and naturopath Yigal Kutin who contributed recipes for dishes that do not involve animal suffering. The result – a colorful, beautiful calendar that is perfectly suited for hanging in the kitchen, including attractive photos and a wide range of recipes for hors d’oeuvres, salads, soups, casseroles, drinks and desserts – all based on pure veganism.
According to Hilma Shmoskowitz, Chairperson of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Israel (Volunteer): “The Society, that was a pioneer in every issue concerning struggles against abuse and use of animals in the food industry, research, entertainment and fashion, takes a pivotal role to this day in promoting laws for the welfare of animals in the industrial markets. Each one of us has the freedom to act according to his or her own conscience and to choose what food we eat, but one must demonstrate personal responsibility, not avert one’s eyes from what really takes place, and to be aware of the path which our food took on its way to our mouths. Change of long-standing habits is a challenging process, but even lessening consumption of animal products is a meaningful step towards lessening the incomprehensible extent of suffering caused to animals raised as raw products for our food”.
The calendar will be sent to all those who contribute donations of over 35 NIS by phone (03-5136500 or *4553) as long as supplies last.
