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...

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...

Nom Nom’s Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup

by vegannomnoms | February 19, 2011 | Main Dishes, My Favorites, Soups | 2 Comments

This vegan chicken noodle soup is the easiest thing to make ever. I often throw a me-sized bowl together, which is actually pretty large (see above), but it's soup, right? My apartment is real cold, kids, don't judge. If I'm constantly ingesting warm liquids it makes...

Cookie Baking Party!

by vegannomnoms | December 14, 2010 | Cookies and Bars, Desserts, Posts, Vegan Holidays | 1 Comment

First off, I discovered the BEST sugar cookie recipe EVER from Vegan MoFo. I've seriously made it 5 or so times since I found it and and holycrap. Delish. One of the only traditions we had each year growing up was a sugar cookie making party in December where all our...

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...

Raw Strawberry Cheesecake

by vegannomnoms | May 29, 2009 | Cookbook and Recipe Reviews, Desserts, Raw Foods | 7 Comments

I'm back. Mostly I've just been cooking stuff I've already posted on here, but I saw this recipe on the Post Punk Kitchen Blog and it looked really interesting to me for some reason, so I had to try it. Thus, this is not my recipe at all, but it's pretty tasty! I put...

Mustard Marinated Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) Cutlets

by vegannomnoms | June 29, 2013 | Mock Meats, Vegan Grilling | 2 Comments

This recipe was hiding in my How to Use Dried TVP post, but it gets a bit lost in there so I thought it deserved it's own post. I just made these mustard marinated TVP cutlets again and remembered how delicious they are, so here you go! The picture above is before it...

Stale Bread? Nahhh. Croutons!

by vegannomnoms | March 7, 2012 | Breads, Salads and Sandwiches | 1 Comment

This is more of a tip than a recipe, get ready! So whenever I bake bread there are always the sad, mutilated pieces unfit for sandwiches that always happen because I use a bread knife that's cheap and not sharp enough. I then put all the mutilated pieces on a plate...

Fresh Ginger Lemon “Honey” Tea

by vegannomnoms | November 16, 2010 | Beverages, Vegan MoFo | 0 Comments

Vegan MoFo Day #12 We'll leave the debate about honey elsewhere, but this tea is simple and delicious no matter what sweetner you use. Almost too simple to blog about, this got me through last winters' cold season. I dug these pictures out from the depths, having...

Vegan Pear and Garam Masala Flatbread

by vegannomnoms | February 3, 2013 | Breads, Italian Fusion, Main Dishes, Vegan Party Food | 0 Comments

A few years ago one of my Couchsurfing hosts made us a flatbread with pears and garam masala. It was such an interesting and yummy combination that it stuck in my head for years until I finally recreated it myself here in Berlin. We've already mentioned how I'm...

Apples To-Go: Vegan Apple Hand Pies

by vegannomnoms | November 8, 2010 | Desserts, My Favorites, Vegan MoFo | 5 Comments

Vegan MoFo Day #6! We've been getting a ton of apples in our farmshare, so when my housemate brought back a box of apples from apple-picking, it got a little apple-crazy around here. Afraid that they were going to go bad, one night we sat down, peeled all the apples,...

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...

Famous Tofu Scramble

by vegannomnoms | 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...

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....
