Vegan Kuala Lumpur – A 4 Day Layover in Kuala Lumpur

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 – 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

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...

Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Cookies

by | December 30, 2008 | Cookbook and Recipe Reviews, Cookies and Bars, Desserts | 2 Comments

  I made a second attempt at these peanut butter filled chocolate cookies from the Mac & Cheese blog a few days ago and they came out really well. The first time I tried to make them, I didn't have peanut butter so in a fit of cooking-craving mania I tried to make my...

Vegan Ramen: 3 Ways

by | January 9, 2012 | Asian Fusion, How-to's and Guides, Soups | 4 Comments

Yes, this is a post about ramen. Don't judge me. I figure since I've been eating so much of it, I may as well write a blog post about it. Some of it is homemade, so I'm not ashamed! The one in the picture above came from a packet though, are you shocked?! Plus,...

Chocolate Banana Almond Butter Pie

by | July 19, 2009 | Desserts, Raw Foods | 5 Comments

Bananas, chocolate and almonds make a good combination. This was another one of those raw recipes that I ended up un-rawifying, but it was delicious as I'm sure its raw counterpart is also. I got it from the blog Adventures of Raw Goddess Heathy, which I am a big fan...

Famous Tofu Scramble

by | November 19, 2008 | Breakfast and Brunch, My Favorites | 5 Comments

When I tried tofu scramble for the first time, it was chunky and bland, resembling the large uncooked and "marinated" slices of tofu my dining hall likes to serve as food. Now that I'm older and wiser, I must say my scramble has come a long way too. I've finally got...

Sourdough Bread: Definitely not a bad way to start a morning…

by | January 20, 2011 | Breads | 0 Comments

A sourdough cinnamon sugar loaf on the left, fresh rosemary with olive oil and garlic on the right. Don't be too impressed, I just made one recipe, split it into two loaves and kneaded different things into each. I let it rise for two days (3 times), but only because...

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

by | November 12, 2008 | Candy and Chocolates, Desserts | 3 Comments

The same day of pumpkin everything,  I was craving candy. Saying as it was the day after Halloween, I was feeling a bit left out compared to everyone that could go door-to-door filling bags with pure sugar. I wanted to gorge myself on candy too, dammit! Why are all...

Raw Chocolate Macaroons

by | May 24, 2011 | Candy and Chocolates, Desserts, Gluten-free, Raw Foods, Vegan Party Food | 0 Comments

Another delayed recipe from my Raw Food Week Challenge. When I originally made these, I used a recipe I found randomly on the internet and didn't save. This recipe called for keeping it in the freezer to keep them solid enough, so I had this stowed away for about a...

Pizza!

by | September 7, 2008 | Breads, Cookbook and Recipe Reviews, Italian Fusion | 2 Comments

A bit of a delay due to moving back into school and all that, but here I am with the first of not one, but two posts! First, some pizza! Okay, so all I did for this one was chop up the veggies and grate the "cheese", but it came out so well! I think I finally mastered...

Raw Kale Avocado and Chickpea Couscous Salad

by | September 17, 2013 | Salads and Sandwiches, Urban Gardening, Vegan MoFo | 3 Comments

I made this for a picnic when it was still nice and sunny out and it was a big hit! Who would have though a couscous and kale salad would get so many comments! I needed something that only used things in my pantry and balcony garden and voila! This was the recipe! I'm...

Raw Cashew Cheese

by | May 23, 2011 | Raw Foods, Vegan Cheese | 18 Comments

A bit delayed, lots of people mentioned that they'd be interested in learning more about how I made the raw cashew cheese. Though it takes a couple days, it's really easy! Most of the time you're just waiting for the cashews to soak and letting the finished product...

Bratapfel (Baked Apple)

by | November 23, 2010 | Desserts, German Food, Vegan MoFo | 0 Comments

Vegan MoFo Day #17! Last January, I worked on a smallholding in Kleinenhain, Germany for 2+ weeks through Help Exchange. Of the three farms I worked on, my time in Germany, by far, left the biggest impression on me. My hosts, Angelika and Axel, not only cooked vegan...

Relatively Healthy Coconut Peanut Butter Fudge

by | July 25, 2012 | Candy and Chocolates, Desserts, Raw Foods | 4 Comments

One day I was shopping at LPG by Mehringdamm and I stumbled upon this coconut fudge with only three ingredients: coconut butter, shredded coconut and agave nectar. Here it is, if you're interested. It was delicious and I decided I needed to make some. My end product...

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....
