Vegan Waffle Recipes at the Longest-Running Waffle Party!

We strive to promote friendlier, healthier, and more sustainable living via a significant decrease in animal product consumption. We aim to do this by:

• offering vegan waffle recipes for anyone who wishes to try a vegan waffle for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, snack, or special occasion
• catalyzing vegan waffle party events as fun and non-threatening ways to celebrate and generate broader awareness, and to decrease prejudice on several levels
• offering supportive resources (party-throwing tips, recipes) for those who wish to throw a vegan waffle party

We focus specifically upon vegan waffles and waffle parties for several reasons.

Credit for spreading the event goes to other individuals and organizations who have hosted events since we began to go global and actively promote the event in 2008. (View recent hosts.) We continue to have a lot of fun with our annual house party, but the most exciting part is hearing about the creative things others do with the concept.

I (Dave Wheitner) live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S., with my life partner Jen, a hip cat named LeMew, and an adorable infant foster daughter.

Along with recently completing the The Global Vegan Waffle Cookbook, I authored Naked Idealism, a self-empowerment guide for socially conscious people. I manage Idealist Coach, a strategic life consulting business for individuals who wish to gain more clarity and direction, and I enjoy composing music, running, hiking, cycling, and camping.

My earliest jobs included grilling burgers rapidly and in large quantities, at the 666 Lexington Springmill Road McDonald’s. I later discovered that many of the skills and techniques could be applied to baking vegan waffles on multiple irons simultaneously. (Now that’s “irony” on a few different levels.)

We also have interests in sustainable communities, having visited a number of ultra-green housing sites around the U.S.
