The organisers have a blog about it (forgot to include it earlier). I'm looking forward to hearing how much they raised for the Simon Community. http://vegantasticcookingcontest.blogspot.com/

Yeah, I only went around to try the food after half an hour and two of the dishes were all eaten and gone. All very tastey and a great crowd.
