Lena & Laurenz is offering a new vegan sandwich with falafel, soyghurt, vegetable puree, lettuce and tomatoes.
we didn’t get the chance to sample it yet, since they were out when we stormed into the place. let’s hope that means it’s a big seller & will stay in stock!
have you tried it yet? is it yummy?
stylish notebook from moleskine’s new passions series that will definitely help us get rid of loose pages torn from magazines and recipes scribbled on way too small post-its.
try Spice World (insert Spice Girls joke here) for some Flüssigrauch, oh, and black salt, too (if you have use for a kilo!).
you are welcome!
all the best, you old slap of vinyl! you didn’t make me go vegan but I love you hard anyways! xo!
I love gummies! I used to eat them by the sackfuls as a little one and was sad (and disgusted) when I found out what gelatin is and where it comes from. yuck!
fortunately there are many vegan gummies available and a lot of them even taste great.
and then along come fruit grizzlies and make me regret I only bought the small bag. fruity, with a great bite and cute, to boot. just look at the cute grizzlies and then go grab a bag for me when you go get yours!
comes in peach, raspberry, tangerine & black currant flavour. and look at that cute heart!
no really, look how cute!!
purchased for € 2,90 at Formosa
vantastic foods website
spaghettini, garlic fried smoked tofu, string beans, cherry tomatoes
plus basil and soyghurt-parsley sauce
Hip Hip Hooray HOORAY!! The wonderful Go Max Go bars made it to Austria (and Germany, too). Order them from Vegan Versand for € 1,99 a piece. If you miss chocolate bars that taste like Snickers, Milky Way and the like, you will have to sample these!
It was my first time ordering from the all vegan distro and communication and packaging was good. I will definitely use them in the near future again.
I will now let the (too many) picture speak for themselves!
DON’T JUDGE ME!!
(p.s. only half of those are mine!)
I have been trying to figure out how and what to write about our stay in NYC in mid December of 2009/ early January 2010; there was just too much good stuff going on in the week we stayed there. so over the coming weeks I will try and pick a few of the highlights of the trip. I will try and keep the superlatives in check.
so, ice cream. mmmmmm, ice cream!
I’ll start with Lula’s because Lula’s Sweet Apothecary is a magical MAGICAL place. It’s all vegan and has a cute old-timey ice cream parlor feel and, wow, the flavours are so SO delicious; they have soft serve (!) and many yummy toppings in glass jars. ask for samples to help with your decision. the atmosphere is great and the people running it are charming. I went there twice and if I’d live closer I would go there every single damn day!
On my first visit with Mike, Lisa, Dayna & Terry, I sampled strawberry cheese cake & peanut butter fudge and when I returned with Mike, Melisser and Bazu, I sampled the cake batter soft serve and it is safe to say that this is the best ice cream I ever had! Ever!
check out their menu
follow them on twitter
& visit them over and over and have some ice cream for me!
Lula’s Sweet Apothecary is located on 516 East 6th Street; 10009 NYC
We also checked out Stogo. Stogo is an all vegan, organic gourmet ice cream parlor. Less welcoming and charming than Lula’s but they stayed open for us when we called and arrived shortly before 11 pm (yep, late night ice cream in winter. it’s how we roll!) and were generous with sampling their flavours; I picked creamsicle!
There is a celebrity connection going on with Stogo that I will let you figure out for yourselves, we had a possible James Iha sighting (or was it Myles from Lost?!) and cupcakes from Babycakes Bakery are available. A+, would visit again!
Stogo is located on 159 2nd Avenue

damn, I could really go for a banana split right now!!
sometimes it takes a sick (read quiet) day to muster up the courage to try a new recipe that slightly intimidates you. I have been looking at the Tofu Omelets from Vegan Brunch for months now but never really dared to stand up to the challenge. The other day I took my stuffed nose to the kitchen, though and was more than happy with the results! & the black salt cleared my nose out for a bit. yikes!
filled w/ fried chard and spring onions.
p.s. confession time: the first attempt landed in the trash can.
Team Vegan is currently touring NYC, rural North Carolina and Florida. While the City That Never Sleeps has vegan options, savory and/or sweet, on every corner and it would take many many weeks and many many vegan teams to sample them all, the situation is a little different in Florida’s Tampa area. So, you can imagine how eager I was to check out Grassroots Restaurant, one of the few vegan-friendly options around Tampa.
The restaurant is pleasantly casual, the clientele wonderfully mixed, service is friendly and, most importantly!, the food is great!
Here is what we sampled:
Guacamole and Chips
Sprout Wrap
Nott Dog w/ Chips
Everybody Loves Ramen
Ginger Chick-Un w/ a side of garlic pasta
Key Lime Cheesecake w/ Agave Drizzle
Everything was fresh and delicious, and I recommend you visit Grassroots when you are in the area!
Vegetasia in 1070 is now called Xu’s Cooking, prices went up a little, the buffet is rocking way more fake meat on Sundays and we still like the place and all its mock meat glory.
