V3GGIE - Vegetarian Search Engine

I’m proud to announce my latest creation: V3GGIE, a vegetarian search engine. I’ve used the power of Yahoo’s new BOSS Search API and focused the attention on vegetarian and vegan friendly resources. V3GGIE makes it much easier to find what you are looking for.

This means you can find a corn chowder recipe without wading through thousands of clam chowders. You can quickly find the buzz from vegetarian blogs, the closest vegan restaurant, and more.

The following is a short list of web sites that V3GGIE.com recognizes as experts.

V3GGIE is still a work a progress, please feel free to leave comments and suggestions for web sites to add as resources. I hope you find it as useful as I have. I especially like the Vegetarian Recipe Search.

Apple iTunes
There’s a new set of tools for the traveling vegetarian. The latest version of iPhones now feature hundreds of small applications from silly games to comprehensive suites. Amongst this long list of applications are a few that are great for vegetarians and vegans.

Locate restaurants and shops nearby

Finding a restaurant has never been easier. The iPhones have built in location devices. The following applications allow you to quickly find highly rated places within walking distance.

The following links may prompt your computer to open iTunes. Blame Apple, not me for such silly linking behavior.

Language Tools

Foreign travel is much better when you have a basic understanding of the local language. Fortunately, there are a few applications that help you learn a foreign language — or at least get by when trying to order something to eat. Many of the applications give audio and written translations.

More Applications?

What are your favorite applications for vegetarian travelers? Have you found an application not mentioned above? Leave a comment below.

Rue Mouffetard market flowers
Paris has amazing restaurants. That’s a given. But there’s much more for the foodie tourist. You can learn how to cook, spend hours in farmer’s markets, shop for equipment with professional chefs, and buy tons of books for your kitchen back home. Librarie Gourmande is a bookstore for you to visit.

Librarie Gourmande sits in the foodie triangle, near Chatalet Les-Halles. The owner of the shop also has a popular blog: Les Agapes de Débo. It’s filled with recipes, product tests, musings on Paris food and much more. She has compiled a list of unique vegetarian recipes with easy to follow photographs. The recipes are in French and have metric measurements, but you should be able to reproduce them easily.
