One of the newest vegan products that we are super excited about is Cashew Milk Frozen Dessert from So Delicious® Dairy Free! We were lucky to be able to try it out for the first time at ExpoWest back in March, and we just couldn’t get enough. It’s got a texture so smooth and creamy, you won’t believe it’s non-dairy. And with 5 amazing flavors to choose from, this ice cream…
You’re in a hurry. You’re hungry. You’re veg*. You know you will need food to bring on the plane. You’ve just arrived, starving. You wish there was just a veg* restaurant close by, but you know better. Well, now there is healthy veg* food at the AIRPORT! I’ve never been so teeth-grinningly happy to enter airport security. I knew once I was past security, after putting my shoes back on, I would have arrived at…
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…
Although I’ve lived in Los Angeles for over two years, SunCafe is a recent discovery for me. The first time I visited the restaurant was to meet a friend for a quick lunch, so I was expecting a small vegan fast food joint. Upon arrival, however, I realized that I had been way off the mark. From the decor to the service to the food…the entire experience was first rate! …
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…
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…
Decades ago, humans hunted for meat. Now it feels like we have to hunt for plant-based options. As we demand vegan and vegetarian options, we no longer have to hunt them down. Dosa House offers such a robust menu of vegetarian and vegan options that it has won the heart of Bay area plant-based hunters. The rich, dimly lit ambiance punctuates the warm, exotic flavors of the Southern Indian cuisine. Coming…
At first glance, the interior of PepplesDonut Farm is a kitschy café meets rocker with a rustic twist. The vintage jukebox against the back wall punctuates the ambiance. Diving into the entirely plant-based menu, another contradiction in itself. I imagined seeing a rebellious vegan about ready to throw a tomato teasingly, “are you ready to get served?” Owner Josh gave me “Free Range” on the menu. The first think to…
This Easter weekend, Momos in Berlin, Germany, celebrated their first birthday. I joined the party, met the owners and tried their speciality dish for the first time. Located on a small, leafy side street off Schönhauser Allee in Prenzlauer Berg, you probably wouldn’t find this place unless you were looking for it. You also wouldn’t expect to find that it’s run by two Germans, Marc and Martin. Both have been…
Gracias Madre embodies the true nature of this earth: giving, feeding, nurturing, loving, and is a reminder of how beautiful creation is. Los Angeles gratefully welcomed the long-awaited extra heat to their palates in mid-January with nearly 600 people clamoring to get a taste of cuisine inspired by the kitchens in Mexico with locally sourced, organic ingredients. Not to discount the abundance of incredible Mexican street food, this health conscious city has a love for…
Ahhhhh Key West, Florida—the last island of all the keys, the furthest point south of the United States. You drive over a 7 mile bridge to get to this paradise island, but once you are there, you are in a place where it is warm every day, the breathtaking sunsets look like they come from a movie or a painting, where there are coconut palm trees as tall as buildings…
I was recently given the chance to try Vege USA products and review them for you here. These products are especially good for those transitioning to a vegetarian or vegan diet or those who miss tasty Chinese-like food. My father and I would go once a month to the greasy Chinese buffet down the street before I went vegan. I’m not so drawn to that kind of food anymore…
