In the past year much good work has been done in the way of meetings, entertainments, deputations, "at homes," etc., and in the distribution and sale of literature but the sphere of action can he considerably extended during the coming year with the promise of increased assistance both practical and financial. Still more workers are wanted, i.e, members willing to give their time, and labour to the cause whenever opportunity offers. A special point has been made of distributing literature both by hand and by post whenever occasion has offered, as well as giving every information possible to enquirers. There are now sixty-two -members and thirty four associates, of which three members and fourteen associates were enrolled during the the year. Annual Balance Sheet shows a balance in hand of £4 5s. 2 1/2d;. while the assets more than cover the liabilities.

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 827 ### Vegan Recipes - [![Vegetable Alecha (Ethiopian Vegetable Stew)](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/vegetable-alecha--ethiopian-vegetable-stew--1775247589_d692d75bfec559ea4c117e63a838412e.jpg "Vegetable Alecha (Ethiopian Vegetable Stew)")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegetable-alecha-ethiopian-vegetable-stew.html "Vegetable Alecha (Ethiopian Vegetable Stew)") #### [Vegetable Alecha (Ethiopian Vegetable Stew)](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegetable-alecha-ethiopian-vegetable-stew.html "Vegetable Alecha (Ethiopian Vegetable Stew)") [Ethiopia](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/ethiopian.html) [Soups](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/soup.html) [African](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/african.html) -
