And while in Paris.. we found a fully vegan traditional bakery. Could have spent all my money here! So pleased to have found delicious vegan croissants and baguette sandwiches! #veganfood 🍜

We happened to be in Austria at the same time as the Vienna Vegan Festival! Excellent chance to try some traditional foods including these knödel which I promise was way tastier than it looks. Also I'm usually not a fan of sauerkraut but this freshly made one was incredible! #veganfood 🍜

Austrian sachertorte (chocolate cake) was divine! We ordered an extra one after this as it was so good we didn't want to share! #veganfood 🍜

Plantbased doner kebab in Berlin is a MUST and available at multiple restaurants. We had the original served in flatbread with salad toppings. The planted brand seemed very popular in Germany and Austria and I love how they seem to be collaborating with local businesses. #veganfood 🍜

Came back from a two-week holiday on mainland Europe, visiting friends in Germany and Austria and going back home to the UK via Paris. I'll be writing up some reflections on it soon but meanwhile here's a thread with the most delicious #veganfood I ate...

Still buzzing from Vegan Campout so decided to try one of my free goodies from the festival for lunch. Got this as a gift from The Vegan Society after signing up as a member. Delicious & quick miso noodle soup! Topped with carrot, kale & cashews. Will definitely be making this again🤤 #veganfood 🍜

Coming home from Vegan Campout and not sure what I'll be cooking tonight. It's been a fantastic weekend with lots of delicious food 🤤 My highlights include gelato (of course!), Caribbean chickpea and spinach curry with the BEST fried plantain and a mix of #vegan Chinese food! #veganfood 🍜

1. An ice cream cone with two scoops of gelato: one salted peanut, one chocolate. Topped with a biscuit that says "plant based chill gelato"
2. A bowl of Caribbean chickpea and spinach curry served with a salad and fried plantain.
3. A rectangular plate of a mix of Chinese food, including noodles, vegan beef in black bean sauce, fried rice, and vegan sweet and sour.

Last evening of our long weekend camping trip... Made a one pot "pilau" dish. A mix of brown rice, carrots, onion, petit pois, dried apricots and vegan chicken pieces. Stirfry veggies, add rice and vegetable stock, boil for 20min. Perfect for the campsite but easy to make at home too! #veganfood 🍜

Thank you, it was! I was saying to my partner why don't we make this at home?! It will become part of the routine..!

Made another katsu tofu today. This time with fresh broccoli 🥦 from the garden!!🌱 So delicious. It's so fresh it literally only needs 2min to cook. I've also started a second batch of broccoli seedlings for a late summer / autumn harvest 💚 #veganfood 🍜

The good thing about making lasagna is that it makes for a quick weekday meal. I always double up on the red sauce so I have extras for a quick pasta later on. It's filled with veggies too: carrots, pepper, leek, tomatoes, onions. Served with some fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden 🌱 #veganfood 🍜

Thank you!

Lasagna today because I was in need of comfort food. I used whole wheat lasagna sheets to make it healthy. Also put the oven a tad too hot. I find cutting vegetables soothing so took my time w/ the red sauce. My partner now makes the best bechamel sauce so it's teamwork on display here! #veganfood 🍜

I love broccoli. It's hands down my favourite vegetable. I often put more broccoli in a dish than others would.. but the result is almost always a delicious dish. Broccoli never disappoints! 🥦🍜 #veganfood
