Note: Generally, vegetarian and “vegan” recipes are compatible with Eastern Orthodox fasting guidelines. (“Vegan” stands for “vegetarian without any animal products.”) An exception to this is the use of vegetable oils, including olive oil, in the preparation of recipes. Some Orthodox jurisdictions stress elimination of cooking oils of all kinds, except on certain prescribed days, during Great Lent. Orthodox Christians should check each recipe’s list of ingredients before preparing. 

Remember, just because shellfish are not “covered” in the fasting guidelines doesn’t mean you can pig-out on jumbo Gulf shrimp, Alaskan king crab legs, or Maine lobster during fasts!!!
