Send Your Baked Dish Recipe to Recipecontest@bragg.com
Make sure that you follow the rules! They are at this link.
Here are the short rules…
Bragg Vegetarian Recipe Contest
Shortened Rules for Contestants
1. Recipes must contain no meat, no dairy, no egg. Egg replacer is perfect and you should really test your recipe because it is not the same as egg. Honey is OK.
2. Each week there is a new category; contest runs for twelve weeks.
Stay tuned for each category to be announced.
3. You may enter as many recipes as you like for each category but only once during that week. In other words, you can enter 20 salad recipes but not during soup week.
4. Send all recipes to recipecontest@bragg.com. See the long rules for the disclaimer which must be sent with each email; you must include this.
5. Some recipes require two Bragg ingredients and some require one. Please pay attention to this as your recipe will not be judged if it does not follow this rule.
6. If you want to send more than one recipe, each Bragg ingredient must be hotlinked. See the “hotlinking” page to make it easy to do this.
7. Recipes may come from any source other than the Bragg Vegetarian Healthy Recipe Book, but must not be duplicated; it must be your own recipe. Do not simply substitute “vinegar” with our vinegar and call it your own. Make it yours!
8. There are three judging stages for the contest. 1st Stage: Self-selected judges will choose recipes to try and score them. 2nd Stage: Vegetarian Supper Club will evaluate top recipes and select category winners. 3rd Stage: Patricia Bragg will choose overall winner for the contest and award prizes.
9. Submitted recipes will appear on the Bragg Live Foods page on Facebook. Join our fan page to see your recipe progress!!

High Fiber Foods and Your Health
Fiber used to be an unglamorous word to most of us, mainly because of its association with bowel movements, GI health or “waste management,” as my girlfriends like to say. But there’s no “roughing” it today, with all of the great-tasting, high-fiber foods now in supermarkets.

Hotlinking for the Bragg Vegetarian Recipe Contest
If you are submitting more than one recipe for one category, you must hotlink the Bragg ingredients from a blog or website page IN ADDITION to sending in your entry. You must provide a link to the location in your email where the recipe is in your email with all the necessary disclaimers as required by the rules. We will link back to your recipe so that we are cross-promoting. Please test your link before submitting; if it doesn’t work, then we will ask you to fix it and if you don’t then we will not post your entry as officially entered and we will not link to your blog/website.
Sure this is a little more work, but for people who have tons of recipes, you’ll have to choose either to submit one or do some copying and pasting from below (it can’t be all that hard):

Chinese Herbal Medicines for Preventing Diabetes in High Risk People
More research is required to establish whether Chinese herbal medicines can reduce the likelihood of developing diabetes, according to Cochrane Researchers. Although herbal medicines are widely used in Asian countries to treat pre-diabetes (impaired glucose tolerance or IGT), the precursor of the disease, researchers say there is still not enough hard scientific evidence to confidently recommend their use.
