A few pics from my weekend trip at the Sächsische

A few pics from my weekend trip at the Sächsische Schweiz with some friends last month. It’s a beautiful national park near Dresden, a couple hours from Berlin. I originally found it years ago by looking up green patches on Google Maps with another friend, desperately needing a city break. It totally surpassed my expectations! Plus it’s pretty affordable! We stayed in a hikers’ hostel with our own private room (and a communal kitchen). Including the rental car, gas, accommodation and food I spent less than 100€ for the whole weekend. Usually I just take a ride share (like Blablacar) if it’s just me or two of us, but a car made more sense for our group of four. Last video is us cooking the mushrooms we foraged while hiking! We didn’t even get the shits so I call it a success!

Taipei is seriously underrated. I was there for a couple weeks in March and despite some misinformation for vegans like the mock meat scandal and that there is the “biggest vegan buffet in the world” there (spoiler: it’s actually vegetarian), it’s a great place for vegans, digital nomads, and backpackers alike. Great transit, lush nature, epic night markets, yaaaas. Plus they just became the first country in Asia to legalize gay marriage!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

I fiiiiiinally put together my super thoroughly guide to Taipei on the blog: bit.ly/vegantaipeiguide (link in bio). Go check it out if you’re heading that way or looking for inspiration!

Following the theme of veganizing German food, tod

Following the theme of veganizing German food, today we made vegan Käsespätzle so that’s my @veganmofo post. My gf is German and throwing me challenges to veganize foods she ate growing up before going vegan. She brought me back her spätzle press from home yesterday so today it was Käsespätzle for dinner. I consider it German mac-n-cheese although my gf says the original is with Swiss cheese tasting cheeses and a bit of blue cheese.
—
Anyway it was tasty. I used all Gentle Chef recipes for the spätzle, gruyere melt, vegan provolone and a bit of Violife vegan blue cheese. It’s mixed with carmelized onions and topped with fried onions, baked until everything is melted. .

Today’s @veganmofo prompt this August day is, funnily enough, winter warmers. Here’s my take on this Indonesian curry Sayur Lodek. I made the curry paste myself and holy f*ck is homemade really 100% better than store-bought.
—
This is another recipe I came up with by combining the bits I liked from several different recipes and adjusting to what I had in my cabinets. I knew I wanted to use aromatics like cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. I also wanted a good umami punch from mushroom sauce and a bit of creaminess from cashews in the curry paste itself. Yellow of course from fresh turmeric, fresh chilis 🌶. Add with fried tofu, potato, veggies, coconut milk and yum! Warm comfort food.

If you want me to type my take on this up let me know in the comments! .

Donauwelle (literally 'Danube wave' in German) is

Donauwelle (literally 'Danube wave' in German) is a traditional sheet cake popular in Germany and Austria. The cake's name comes from its wavy pattern inside and its swirled chocolate decoration. It’s made of a vanilla cake layer, a chocolate cake later, cherries on top, buttercream, then chocolate. I’m skipping a few days of @veganmofo because I just happened to make a very extravagant German showstopper cake yesterday. Vegan Mofo Day 9’s prompt is Showstoppers. — My girlfriend sent me her Mom’s recipe for Donauwelle and asked if I could veganize it. The original recipe calls for six eggs and butter creme, so I did a bit of Googling to get ideas for how others made it vegan. In the end I combined ideas from 4 recipes, including my gf’s Mom’s. I used a ground chia seed egg in the cake, rum extract went in the chocolate layer. I did the vinegar in soy milk method to make a buttermilk, which always yields a super moist vegan cake. The buttercream is vanilla pudding from a packet we got from Denn’s beat together with 250g Naturali vegan butter, the absolute tastiest vegan butter and I’d say essential for this butter creme tasting so freaking awesome.
—
The buttercream didn’t totally emulsify because I was impatient and beat the butter and pudding together before the pudding was totally cold. Oops. Next time I will be more patient. It takes awhile to make but nothing overly difficult, just lots of waiting while stuff chills.
—
The recipes I used are all in German, but if you’re really interested and want to make this cake let me know in the comments. If enough people are interested it might motivate me to type it all up in English and post it on the blog.

Spaghetti ice cream?! I’m a day behind the prompts for @veganmofo but yesterday’s prompt was cake. I’ll take your cake and raise you one vegan German Spaghettieis. What is spaghettieis, you ask? It’s ice cream styled to be like a plate of spaghetti. And y’all thought only America was deep into the food novelties!
—
First you get a big glob of whipped cream. Ideally one that freezes when it comes into contact with the cold ice cream for peak authenticity. Then you put vanilla ice cream through a spätzle press to make it look like spaghetti. Top with strawberry sauce for the “sauce” and coconut flakes or vegan white chocolate for the “parmesean”. Sounds weird but it’s really delicious. I’m usually more of a chocolate person but I’ve been converted!
—
This specific spaghettieis is from @leckomio in Berlin. They’re the best vegan version I’ve found in Berlin so far and the only vegan version with cream that freezes! They also do a vegan pistachio version. Yummmm. Have you ever tried spaghettieis?

@veganmofo Day #3 is supposed to be a cookie I bak

@veganmofo Day #3 is supposed to be a cookie I baked. I have a surprise bladder infection and am therefore not supposed to eat much sugar (and baking cookies while living alone means eating LOTS of sugar 😅) so you’re getting a vegan cheese instead. —
This one is a bit of an experiment. I used the neuchatel style cream cheese recipe from @chefmichaelskye’s book Non-Dairy Evolution. That called for vegan probiotic tablets to ferment the raw cashew base, which I didn’t have, so I used mesophilic starter culture from my vegan Camembert experiments that I had in the freezer. Blend, mix in, let ferment on the table for 24h and bam! It had that perfect tangy taste. I wanted to make it smoky like a cream cheese by Blöde Kuh my partner brought back from California once though so I added 1/2 teaspoon liquid hickory smoke and some ground black pepper. I dare say it’s pretty good and maybe even more exciting than a cookie!
