Berlin Vegan Guide

Vegan Berlin is an exciting place. This list is ever-changing and growing, so check back often! These are places I go to relatively frequently and are my favorites...or I've heard a ton of good things about them. There is so, so much more...to list all the vegan...

The Biggest Vegan Buffet in the World?! & a Mockmeat Scandal: Vegan Taipei Guide

Taipei is pretty great for vegans, but it also offers beautiful nature, plentiful hip coffee shops, great transit, government-subsidized gyms, epically massive buffets, dim-sum...Taipei is severely underrated. I spent two weeks there in March 2019 and only explored...

Sweet Potato Salsa

by vegannomnoms | December 5, 2008 | Appetizers and Dips, Gluten-free, Mexican Fusion, My Favorites | 4 Comments

This is a really easy recipe that I stole from my friend Lizzi. Seriously, every time I make it and take it somewhere everyone freaks out over it. It's actually kind of silly because it's one of the easiest things I've made. People never believe it is vegan either,...

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...

Sourdough Bagels

by vegannomnoms | March 17, 2009 | Breads | 5 Comments

Okay, so this recipe isn't really my own making as I followed this one over at the Fresh Loaf exactly, but as a pretty amateur bread-baker a lot of the stuff on that post is over my head, so I thought I'd summarize it here with my pictures. For more details, you...

Vegan Chicken (Seitan) Salad

by vegannomnoms | November 30, 2010 | Mock Meats, Salads and Sandwiches, Vegan MoFo | 0 Comments

Vegan MoFo Day #21 - Vegan Chicken Salad So I thought I was done with MoFo for the year, but then I sort of accidentally made vegan chicken salad and voila! I was in Whole Paychecks, I mean, Whole Foods yesterday because I heard Tofurkeys were on super sale after...

How to Make the Most of Your Pumpkin: Everything But the Stem

by vegannomnoms | November 10, 2008 | Appetizers and Dips, Desserts, How-to's and Guides | 2 Comments

It's that time of year and as far as I can remember, I've never done anything with a pumpkin besides carve a face in it and let it rot outside. Thus, with two sugar pumpkins around, it had to mean roasted pumpkin seeds, fresh pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie! It took...

Cold Brewed Coffee

by vegannomnoms | August 22, 2010 | Beverages, My Favorites | 3 Comments

Following the thought of "Things That Are Painfully Obvious", a friend sent along a link to me a week or two ago about cold brewed coffee. Now, I had heard of this before, but always assumed it was tedious or complicated and involved fancy equipment. Nope! Previously...

WTF are Collards?!: Easy Collards with Potatoes and Tofu

by vegannomnoms | November 1, 2010 | Gluten-free, Main Dishes, Vegan MoFo | 0 Comments

Vegan MoFo Day #1! This was literally something I threw together. I got a bunch of collards in my farm share, and while I think I've eaten them before, I had no idea exactly how to go about making them delicious. I tried Googling things, but everything was either...

Marzipan Semolina Pudding (Grießflammeri)

by vegannomnoms | August 16, 2011 | Breakfast and Brunch, Desserts, German Food | 4 Comments

Last time I was in Berlin, I got a marzipan semolina pudding parfait at Goodies that was to die for. Ever since then I've been trying to figure out what was in it (semolina in a dessert...weird) and how to recreate it. I think I finally touched upon it! This is based...

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...

Mock Chickpea Tuna Salad

by vegannomnoms | August 26, 2008 | Mock Meats, Salads and Sandwiches | 3 Comments

I had a bunch of celery to use up tonight and was too lazy for anything extravagant. An attempt at vegan mock tuna salad it was! I had made two previous attempts at this dish, one leading to this recipe and the other resulting in a big fail. The latter I blame on my...

Vegan Jewish Apple Cake

by vegannomnoms | November 23, 2013 | Desserts, Israeli Food | 4 Comments

This cake was sexual. Oh my goodness. I went apple-picking with friends and am still trying to use up apples. This cake used 8, which seemed like a solid number to use up. I'm not usually a big cake person, I prefer brownies and all the ooey gooey stuff. But, my...
