Vegan barbecue party Part II

 

Yesterday, in glorious sunshine, the barbecue was fired up for the second time this year from 14:00 and the buffet was laid out, with many souvenirs from the numerous guests. I owe my absolute taste sensation to Beatrice Gantner, who gave me a slice of her delicious banana-almond-date cake and thus gave me the perfect culinary finale. Thanks to everyone for the delicious vegan food and for the nice company.

This is the new advertising campaign of the restaurant, café and bar “Le Muh” in Oerlikon. I don’t know what they got wrong, but you work because you have chosen a job and you like doing it and feel good about it. Well, do these four “employees” feel so good? Hardly…

Fit with parsley

 

If your eyes obey gravity this morning and you feel like you’ve lost a boxing match, then you’re like me…

 

Patty’s Tip:

Hollow out a few leaves of parsley from your herb box and everything will be fine. As a compress, the spicy herb is an ideal eyelid lifter and has a decongestant effect.

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley
  • 1 cup of water

 

Preparation:

Put the parsley in a heatproof bowl, bring the water to the boil and pour over the parsley. Leave the infusion to cool for at least 15 minutes, then filter.

 

Application:

Soak 2 cotton balls in the infusion and place on the eyes. A good opportunity to crawl back into bed for another 15 minutes. You should give the parsley enough time to soothe your eyes and reduce the swelling of your eyelids.

 

“One night in Bangkok”

 

Tonight it was that time again: the Vegan Café had swung their cooking spoons again and provided a perfect start to the fall season with delicious food. In contrast to the theme of the evening, “One night in Bangkok”, the evening passed very comfortably and I’m already looking forward to October 5, when the Vegan Café opens its doors again.

Info:

The Vegan Café is a monthly meeting place for the animal rights/animal liberation movement with vegan food. The open event always takes place on the first Friday of the month at 19:30 in the Infoladen Kasama. The project was launched in 2009 by the Zurich animal rights group and has been growing rapidly ever since.

Taking the Mystery Out of the “Big White Blob”

 

Tonight I was once again a guest at Samses and as is becoming a tradition, I ordered the super delicious TOFU ECKEN VINO BIANCO…and no, tofu is not mushrooms, cheese or a white cement block. I hope that this little movie will answer all your questions and that I will never, ever have to hear “Tofu, what’s that?” again.

The vegan ice cream princess

 

I met up with Sonja Dänzer, the founder of “The Green Fairy” and inventor of the delicious vegan ice cream of the same name, for an oat latte at Henrici and she let me in on a few sweet secrets.

 

What motivated you to found “The Green Fairy”?

 

When I switched from a vegetarian to a vegan diet two years ago, it was clear to me that I not only wanted to change my eating habits, but also actively do something to change the perception of our society. My approach with the delicious, beautiful ice creams from “The Green Fairy” is to convey that vegan does not mean “giving up”, but is extremely enjoyable and imaginative, and not “colorless and boring” but stylish and creative.

 

What else is special about the ice creams from “The Green Fairy”?

 

They are organic, fair trade and come in all kinds of special varieties that are not available anywhere else and change seasonally. I love the ice creams myself! My favorites are Sweet Ginger and Chocolate Peanut Butter. In the fall there will be a chestnut glacé that I can’t get enough of, and in the winter chocolate chili.

 

The philosophy of “The Green Fairy” summarized in three words.

 

Yummy, sustainability and style.

 

You have a three-year-old son who you feed a vegan diet. Is he doing well and does he like your ice cream creations?

 

My son loves the ice cream! He is a huge fan of the vanilla-cardamom variety. His health is very good, he was always one of the tallest and heaviest of his age. I have done a lot of research into the nutritional basics to make sure he gets everything he needs and recommend this to anyone feeding their child a vegan diet. The book “Becoming Vegan” by Davis/Melina is perfect for this.

 

Which vegan cookbook has inspired you the most in your everyday cooking?

 

“Vegan with a Vengeance” by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Great book, great woman! Also highly recommended is her self-made cooking show “The Post-Punk Kitchen” on YouTube.

 

Your goals for the future?

 

I want to promote and sell the ice creams throughout Switzerland, finish my doctoral thesis on fair trade, make a living from my entrepreneurial activities at some point and be able to donate part of the income to children’s charities and PETA. I also hope that my work will inspire other people to eat a plant-based diet more often and to actively do something to spread the vegan lifestyle. And I want to create lots of new delicious vegan things, cupcakes for example, and one day open a beautiful “The Green Fairy” café…

 

 

Patty’s Tip:

The oat and vanilla frappé from Henrici (with oat milk and “The Green Fairy” vanilla ice cream), perfect for enjoying the last days of summer.
