It was a full course through and through, which was also accompanied by two film teams (Tele Züri and Schweizerfernsehen). Here are some impressions from our evening.

The next healthy green smoothie workshop will take place on 25.6.2015: You can find all the information

The green smoothie workshop on May 26, 2015

nell_smoothieThe green futuristic meal for your health. It is crucial that we supply the body with green leafy vegetables. The green smoothie is great: if we drink a glass of it, we consume half the amount of fruit and vegetables we should eat per day in one go. In this course you will get to know different combinations of leafy vegetables, fruits and seeds. After a few degustaions of sweet and savory green smoothies, you will learn how to blend a green smoothie muesli as a whole meal.

The course consists of the theory of the green smoothie and its history, detailed knowledge of vital substances, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and bitter substances, chlorophyll in green leafy vegetables, the rules and tricks of the green smoothie. As well as a practical block: tasting sweet and savory green smoothies in a large catering kitchen and finishing with making your own green smoothie muesli. All ingredients are organic!

 

The workshop costs CHF 100 including course materials and dinner (green smoothie muesli).

If you want to add a whipped topping , prepare it with the following ingredients in a mixer or with a whisk in a bowl:

400 g silken tofu

2 tablespoons cornflour

1 pinch of sea salt

some pepper, freshly ground

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/4 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated

1 tsp thyme, fresh or dried

1 teaspoon oregano, fresh or dried 12 teaspoons basil, fresh or dried

1 tsp chives, fresh

 

A cheerful group of vegans and non-vegans met for Easter brunch. But what would Easter be without Easter eggs? A better world. At least for hens and male chicks. Before Easter, they lay eggs in piecework, but are still not allowed to raise their young. Male chicks are usually killed immediately. To the report in the Sonntagszeitung. You can find reading material on day-old chicks here.

 

tibits makes it more and more vegan

1. now it’s official, every tenth day at tibits is vegan! This is the opportunity for everyone to get to know the diversity of vegan cuisine and to feast with relish without a guilty conscience.

On vegan days, all hot dishes on the buffet are vegan. You will find many vegan options (marked with a v ) in the salads and desserts every day.

While Tibits has been inviting its guests to discover vegetarian cuisine for over ten years, the four Frei brothers are now going one step further and inviting their guests to explore vegan cuisine with relish.

The next vegan days in November are the 8th, 17th and 26th.

2.
Because Christmas is coming soon, tibits is not only offering a delicious biscuit recipe, but is also revealing
www.tibits.ch
recipes for delicious Advent drinks – ready for an aromatic, vegan and contemplative pre-Christmas season?

The biscuit recipe from tibits does not contain any animal products. And allergy sufferers with a sensitivity to gluten or soy are also well catered for with the “chocolate hazelnut snowballs”. Preparation is very simple. The white chocolate balls are a great gift for an Advent dinner and go wonderfully with a mulled wine aperitif. You can find all the details here .

RECIPE CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT SNOWBALLS

Preparation time: 30 minutes

Yields: approx. 40-50 balls

Ingredients

200 g dark chocolate

370 g hazelnuts, ground

25 g buckwheat flour

1 pinch of salt

150 g oat milk

200 g cane or coconut blossom sugar

80 g powdered sugar

Preparation: 1. preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Spread the ground hazelnuts on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 5 minutes. roast. Set aside and leave to cool.

2. grate the chocolate with a grater (be careful not to melt it, otherwise the balls will not be fluffy when baked). Mix loosely in a bowl with the hazelnuts, buckwheat flour, salt and cane sugar. Add the oat milk and mix to form a dough. Cover with cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 10 minutes if you need to make it quickly – but it is better for the taste if you leave the dough in the fridge overnight.

3 Check the oven temperature (180 degrees) and line two baking trays with baking paper. Take the dough out of the fridge at the last minute so that it is as cold as possible. Shape the “snowballs” into pra- line size, turn in the powdered sugar, spread on the tray and bake each tray for 8 – 10 minutes until a pretty net pattern adorns the surface of the balls. Leave to cool on the tray (the balls are still quite soft immediately after baking). If you prefer white “snowballs”, turn the cold balls once more in powdered sugar.

The chocolate hazelnut snowballs can be stored in a sealed tin in a cool place and enjoyed throughout the Advent and festive season.

Another vegan restaurant, the Sanus Viventium, since Friday, September 27, 2013

Sanus Viventium, a new vegan and raw food restaurant, opened its doors in Rapperswil yesterday:

In the middle of the beautiful car-free old town at Hauptplatz 4.

The vegan kitchen took on an advisory role for the restaurant set-up in the last few weeks and was also invited as a guest on the evening of the pre-opening:-)

 

IMG_7572

 

There were live music interludes.

 

IMG_7569

 

…And a very successful 4-course dinner (menu above).

 

IMG_7594

 

The risotto with pumpkin and apple was topped with Maronni crunchies (by Aris) and tasted delicious.

 

IMG_7576

 

Christian Zucol (left in the picture), the host and career changer, introduced his kitchen team with great linguistic skill and elegance and also gave an exciting speech.

 

IMG_7513

 

Jana Gemperle brought the whole raw food spirit to the restaurant concept, but will be emigrating to New York in 5 weeks due to an unbeatable offer.

The recipes remain for the fall and winter menu and the Sanus Viventium is therefore still looking for reinforcement in the kitchen: it should be an all-rounder, certainly with a completed cooking apprenticeship and preferably vegan, of course;-)

Professionals at work (picture above).

Nothing works without a smiling kitchen assistant…

Of course, friendly service staff are also a must, otherwise who would bring the delicacies to the tables?

Finally, here is a picture of the great kitchen team: May they live high and healthy, three times high, healthy, high, healthy, high, healthy:

Sanus Viventium (live healthy)!

 

 

 

Opening of the first vegan restaurant in Switzerland in 2010

The opening of the new and first vegan restaurant “vegan kitchen and bakery” at Müllerstrasse 64 in 8004 Zurich by Lauren Wildbolz was a long time ago.

Lauren Wildbolz was a blogger for a long time and the head chef at the new vegan restaurant in Zurich, the vegan kitchen & bakery.

Before that (2007/2008), she worked as a vegetarian cook in a juice store in Zurich’s old town and became a vegan with even more depth in 2008. This change inspired her to open Switzerland’s first vegan restaurant in Zurich in November 2010.

The vegan kitchen & bakery was then sold to the Soyana company and the vegan restaurant with vegan ice cream (the Vegeglanteria) is still located at Müllerstrasse 64, now called The Sacret.

Lauren Wildbolz is no longer involved in the new vegan restaurant, but is very happy that it is still vegan and cooked with organic food: The vegan buffet over lunch is highly recommended! Below you can see a video from that time: The Star TV report from January 27, 2011 about the newly opened vegan restaurant Vegan Kitchen And Bakery in Zurich.
