Luxembourg, quite often mentioned for its exemplary contributions to the European integration progress and its economic well-being, has never gone in for a vegetarian society. It’s almost a shame. But it’s history now! "De Vegabond", a vegetarian/vegan society has just recently been founded. The society is open to both vegetarians and vegans, assuming that their working together for the good cause will make vegetarians turn vegan rather than the other way round. Anyone who feels like getting in touch with us should feel free to do so. We also welcome visitors. "De Vegabond", [Dr. Claude Pasquini](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/4224-congress-wvc96-europeans.html) (President) c/o B.P.44, 3701 Rumelange, Luxembourg Tel. + 352 562021 (office), Tel. + 352 567231 (home), Fax + 352 565390 (office). A note on this archive. 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: 1082 ### Vegan Recipes - [![VEGAN POACHED BEEF](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/th10%20171_34041b408c706c7811ac5643b305abdb.jpg "VEGAN POACHED BEEF")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-poached-beef.html "VEGAN POACHED BEEF") #### [VEGAN POACHED BEEF](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-poached-beef.html "VEGAN POACHED BEEF") [Breakfast and brunch](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/breakfast-and-brunch.html) [Fake Meats (Tofu etc)](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/fake-meats-tofu-etc.html) [Main course](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/main-course-for-lunch-and-dinner.html) [Vietnam](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/vietnam.html) -
