The restaurant is Can Amer, one of Mallorca’s finest dining establishments located in the small city of Inca. A few weeks ago, Caty…

Low Budget Vegan In Russia

Before leaving home, I got warned by several people that Russia is not the most vegan-friendly country to travel in. It’s funny how people who are not even vegan and have probably never been to Russia become experts on unknown territory. I must admit that I was happily surprised about the veggie situation in this gigantic country. I have committed to not paying for any sleep, so CouchSurfing is just…

Mediterraneans, Their Diet And The “WHO” Findings On Meat

I live on the island of Mallorca, a Spanish island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. People here regard themselves as the Chosen Ones when it comes to diet. After all, numerous scientific studies or at least their press accounts have told the whole world that the Mediterranean diet is the winner. For those living around this body of water, this is a source of pride (“we are the…

Restaurant Review: Ramen Hood

Restaurant Review: Ramen Hood

Nestled inside the bustling Grand Central Market of Downtown L.A. you’ll find Ramen Hood serving 100% vegan food. Created by Top Chef Season 2 winner Ilan Hall, the new hottest food in town is vegan ramen. This plant-based, meat-free noodle soup is super rich in flavor. I was told the creamy broth is made with sunflower seeds, which explains the pleasant nutty flavor. The al dente ramen noodles have perfect…

After living and eating my way around the city for 7 months, here…
