The holistically assembled desert oasis theme reminds one a bit of the oh-so-cool Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. Every dish is so elegantly prepared and served, boasting the freshest…

Munich, Germany in winter is magical; like visiting the inside of a snow globe. I know, I know…don’t fret about the Oktoberfest chicken dance, there is vegan food for you in Munich. Munich hosts one of the several Veganz all vegan grocery store franchises, as well as several vegan restaurants. I’m a vegan food snob, and the Gratitude Organic Eatery Restaurant is a special gem inside that beautiful German snow…
“Wow this is a really good falafel!” Crispy herb rich flavorful falafel slathered in tahini sauce with arugula wrapped in a collard green leaf. This is how I discovered Ihsan’s Falafel and Amin Musa at Worldfest (now Vegfest), Los Angeles’s largest vegan Earth Day (he was a vendor and I was a speaker). Ihsan’s Falafel is significantly amazing, and a very green, healthy falafel too. Ihsan’s Falafel is a mobile vegan…
Sarasota County schools now observe “Meatless Mondays,” making Sarasota the first city in Florida to serve all-vegetarian meals once a week. Instead of mystery meat, the schools are serving kid-friendly, meat-free meals, such as hummus and vegetable subs, spaghetti, and taco salads. While the food chief for Sarasota County Public Schools acknowledges that the Meatless Mondays program is a good approach to get kids thinking about ways to fight obesity…
It’s that festive time of year again!

This Festive Seed Roast Loaf was born and we were thrilled with the appetizing results! Creating conscious cuisine can bring a real lightness and joy to holiday celebrations. We have the opportunity to nurture and…
The first time someone serves you chicken, fish, or turkey after becoming vegan, you are shocked.

You might receive a chicken salad sandwich containing chicken, eggs and mayonnaise because someone might mistakenly think that they are serving a vegan choice. So let’s review some of the things to look out for when ordering a vegan meal, and help avoid…
On 11th October 2014, Ohlala in Berlin celebrated their fourth Birthday. Unfortunately I missed the party they threw to celebrate this milestone, but I was lucky enough to be invited to join the team for dinner a week later! I caught up with them, shared some delicious food and heard a bit about what exciting projects they’re working on next. Since it opened in 2010, Ohlala has been a cornerstone…
Thanks to you and all HappyCow visitors during Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, a family feasting holiday celebrated in the United States, centered historically (and unfortunately) around a large roasted turkey, is happening soon. Vegans and vegetarians work hard to introduce their loved ones to compassionate veg* options, and are often challenged to survive a carnivore-centric holiday socially with family and friends. You can use HappyCow to find a restaurant with like minded people,…
It seems like an eternity since I made my first raw carrot cake, some 15 years ago. A small group (4 of us) formed the ‘Raw Pudding Club’ – we’d gather before lunch, all bringing the most delicious raw desserts (with an occasional salad on the side 😉 ). We’d spend 12 hours straight indulging, chatting, learning, laughing, crying and inspiring one another with anything from food to optimal health…
How can you miss soya-mixed meat if visiting Taiwan! Soya-mixed meat is a unique snack food in Taiwan made using the method “滷” (Lu, a little like stew in brine, but somehow different). You can have many ingredients, with Asian flavored cooking liquor, which is special in Taiwan. Although you could find many soya-mixed meat vendors in many places or night markets, most of them are meat dishes. Don’t get…
