Vegan Kuala Lumpur – A 4 Day Layover in Kuala Lumpur

This is not a guide, so much as a post about how to do a short layover in Kuala Lumpur as a vegan. KL is a major airport hub, but it's worth stopping over for at least a few days for the vegan eats alone. I didn't really think much of KL at all, but decided to stay a...

Vegan Bali – What I Ate During A Week in Ubud

Vegan Bali, I've been following pictures of amazing-looking food for ages. Even so, I cut Bali out of my itinerary at first. There is just so much hype, and this contrarian can't handle it. Then I realized it would cost be the same in flights to stop over in Bali on...

Melbourne is Vegan Junkfood Heaven – A Semi-Guide

I spent three weeks in Melbourne in February 2018 and let me tell you, vegan Melbourne is on POINT. Especially the vegan junk food. I'm not a clean eating kinda person by any means, but after three weeks even I was craving salads. Not to say there isn't good healthy...

Super Easy Kale “I Am Still Detoxing from New Years” Soup

by vegannomnoms | January 9, 2013 | Soups | 0 Comments

This is a really simple, one-pot soup that I was imagining in my head after eating so many sweets and drinking so many cocktails that I was fantasizing about vegetables. There, I said it. Perhaps some of you are/were in the same boat as me? The ingredients are really...

Vegan Dumplings and How to Steam Things without a Steamer Basket

by vegannomnoms | August 16, 2010 | Appetizers and Dips, Asian Fusion, Vegan Party Food | 3 Comments

A week ago I realized the obvious: You don't need a steamer to steam things. Also, you can use wonton wrappers to make things besides wontons! The novelty! This made the possibilities of my wonton wrappers endless! Not only could I make dumplings, I could make...

Vegan Hungarian Goulash

by vegannomnoms | September 2, 2013 | Hungarian Food, Main Dishes, Vegan MoFo | 4 Comments

Excuse the bad picture, but this was delicious. While I was in Budapest a couple weeks ago, a new friend I met through Couchsurfing invited me over to attempt a vegan goulash. Everyone was skeptical, but I think we pulled it off! There was a lot of paprika involved....

Vegan Turkish Kabak Yemegi

by vegannomnoms | November 3, 2010 | Main Dishes, Turkish Food, Vegan MoFo | 0 Comments

Vegan MoFo Day #2! While visiting a good friend in Bonn, Germany, in January, she made this for us and I promptly scribbled down the ingredients in my travel notebook of sorts. In the little ramekin is plain soy yogurt. Normally, I'd eat it with something more like...

Mochi Truffles (Riceflour Truffles)

by vegannomnoms | November 19, 2010 | Asian Fusion, Candy and Chocolates, Desserts, Vegan MoFo, Vegan Party Food | 2 Comments

Vegan MoFo Day #15 All credit for this goes to my friend, Gulliver! I believe we are kitchen soulmates as everything he makes in his kitchen wants to be in my belly. Last November, he posted on my Facebook wall asking me to test a recipe for him, which was born during...

Vegan Mac-n-Cheese: The Ultimate Comfort Food

by vegannomnoms | September 7, 2008 | Main Dishes, My Favorites, Vegan Cheese | 0 Comments

My friends rave about this recipe more than than anything else I cook and I've been asked for the recipe more times than I can count. Pleasing to vegans and carnivores alike, lucky you, written it down below for your reading pleasure! While I was abroad in England, I...

Chocolate Coffee (Almost Raw) Dessert Cups

by vegannomnoms | June 4, 2009 | Desserts, Raw Foods | 1 Comment

I have about 239495358 pounds of raw cashews in my kitchen so I've been doing anything I can to use them in just about everything. These were really good and pretty filling due to all the nuts. Definitely satisfied my dessert craving without that much sugar,...

Red Quinoa Taco Meat (Gluten-free)

by vegannomnoms | November 24, 2013 | Gluten-free, Mexican Fusion, Mock Meats | 0 Comments

Does anyone else have the problem where they hoard random food items and then end up with a cabinet full of random things and nothing they actually want to eat at that moment? I do it all the time and then I end up with tons of obscure ingredients I don't know what to...

Vegan Chard & Artichoke Dip

by vegannomnoms | November 10, 2010 | Appetizers and Dips, Vegan MoFo | 1 Comment

Vegan MoFo Day #8! My housemate and I went dumpster diving the other day and managed to acquire 8 POUNDS of artichokes. It was my first time dumpstering and I'm excited to go again! I am pretty proud that this was almost entirely free as the artichokes and onions were...

Cheaters’ Miso Soup & Homemade Mushroom Broth

by vegannomnoms | June 10, 2011 | Asian Fusion, How-to's and Guides, Main Dishes, Soups | 0 Comments

Okay, so this doesn't involve any formal dashi or kombu or seaweed of any sort. The tofu was fried and there was kale and noodles, but damn, you haters can hate because this shizz was tasty. And easy! And did not involve buying new ingredients, which would be pretty...

Tofutti-Free Vegan Cheesecake

by vegannomnoms | June 22, 2010 | Desserts, My Favorites, Vegan Cheese | 8 Comments

I've had some good vegan cheesecake before, but virtually every recipe I've ever come across has used Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese. As this stuff is up there on the processed scale, I've been searching high and low for a Tofutti-Free recipe. At first I tried this...

Steel Cut Oats Pancakes & Documenting a Pancake Adventure

by vegannomnoms | August 29, 2010 | Breads, Breakfast and Brunch | 3 Comments

For those who don't know, I spent most of my year abroad. In fact, these travels have continued now that I'm back in the US, which is what led to this pancake feast in Mystic, CT with a friend who was working there. You can't have brunch without pancakes and there are...

My Carry-On Only Packing List (Europe Friendly)

I've been holding back on this post as I wasn't sure if the world really needed another packing list. However, as someone based in Germany, I was SO tired getting excited by an item on someone's packing list...just to realize it's only available in the United States....
