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.

Vegan sushi

Vegan sushi is pure and plant based. It is made without any fish, nor dairy or other animal products. Rice and seaweed are staple ingredients in standard sushi and they are vegan: rice is a grain and seaweed is a sea vegetable. By selecting special toppings or fillings made from plants it is possible to create the new superfood, vegan sushi.Fish that has been frozen (as it is always for sushi) doesn’t suit us well as the human body doesn’t recognize the protein anymore. It is hard to digest and causes trouble. A vegan option provides a harmonious nourishment for our bodies and helps us find peace of mind.

Vegan sushi is a new definition and experience.

Vegan Nataimori Defined

Vegan Nataimori (Body Sushi) is active, not passive. The classic Nataimori is standardly thought of as a sensual experience, objectifying women.t Women lie motionless for hours adorned with sushi for people to eat. The practice even goes so far as to force the temperature of the woman`s body down in order to keep the fish cold. Nataimori is a development coming out of the desire for the new of the wealthy businessmen or businesswomen who suddenly found themselves with an abundance of money and being fed up wih the normal. Nataimori satiates this craving for a decadent dining experience. During the ritual, the woman lies still being transformed into a chilled table which is reminiscent of a corpse. In this situation she is offering and serving sushi in the most passive way possible. Vegan Nataimori is the opposite to this and empowering the woman to create an interactive and nourishing experience. It is a meaningful gesture. By choosing Tamara, a strong and natural woman with natural beauty and self-confidence, vegan kitchen is making it possible to turn the old idea of Nataimori into a pro-active, beautiful, life-providing ceremony. Our woman is giving, speaking, sharing and caring in a moving role to provide vegan sushi to her guests.

Vegan Nataimori is a new definition and experience:

Big Thanks to:

BANKET WITHOUT LABEL by Anja Baggenstos

Leave a comment

On June 29, in Sarnen, four courses were cooked fresh from the garbage to celebrate Anja Baggensto’s master’s thesis.

She called her project “Banquet without etiquette” and completed her Master’s degree in Fine Arts at the Lucerne School of Art with this work.

Just two weeks before that, Good food for you for free was still in full swing as a bachelor’s thesis for the Fine Arts course at the Zurich University of the Arts, which we reported on here.

When Anja heard about our work a month earlier, she sent us an invitation to the banquet without etiquette:

We made our way to Sarnen to enjoy a fantastic meal, fresh from the garbage.

For starters, guests could choose between apple celery asparagus and mushroom soup.

All three were delicious.

The second course was this colorful, delicious salad:

The main course was a perfectly spiced vegetable curry, which was accompanied by an opening speech by Rahel Grunder.

Rahel studies together with Anja in the same degree program.

At my request, I have just received the entire speech she gave that evening!

->Please click into the text to read:

Picture: Rahel Grunder & her brilliant speech

The wine was drunk from cut open wine bottles!

Music from the trash:

The “Güsel Orchestra” was the highlight of the evening and played for us after the first three courses, you can find a short video clip of the performance here.

(Video lasts 1 minute, from second 35 it gets really cool!)

…Afterwards we had a very tasty dessert:

Apple cake with vanilla sauce served with rhubarb compote and the finest selected berries.

This was accompanied by a Knoppers triangle & apricot lentil slices,

This little masterpiece was served on real bathroom tiles!

If you feel like reliving all the impressions of the evening on video, you’ll find them here.

By the way, there is now the Tash Wiki, where you can enter your secret places of discarded food or find some, here is the link.

THANK YOU Nicole Frei, Manuela Benz, Helen Schläpfer, Claudia Marolf, Anita Spang, Antje Matthes, Katja Zimmermann, Nemi Gajic, Patty Maio, Kristine Herzog, my lecturer Franziska Koch, Tobi from Tier im Fokus, Robin from Biosumo, Ruth and Roger from Biogärtnerei Birchhof, Oliver from Chornladen im Kreis 5, Bachsermärt in the Markthalle, Mrs. Baumann from ZHdK Mensa, all 2&4 students of fine arts who helped at the bar, all my friends who believe in me and my Nana who always wanted me to graduate..

Impressions of the Experimental social cooking Part 4

Leave a comment

The already The 4th workshop in the experimental social cooking series took place last April 3 in OG9 .

The theme this time: a different kind of chair dance!

“Participants will find a selection of vegan foods and are asked to start cooking a dish, each in their own course. At the same time, a piece of music is playing (playlist below), as soon as the piece is finished, the food is passed around the circle and the neighbor continues cooking. The “passing around process” continues until the last dish can no longer be passed on and is fully cooked/sliced/dressed.”

Our sound playlist for the Food Sesseli-tanz was as follows:

People were busy sizzling, chopping and laughing to the beat of the sound:

We had conjured up a huge variety of experimental vegan dishes, all in less than an hour!

As always, the delicacies were eaten festively and very happily in the anteroom (exhibition room of OG9):

A big thank you at this point to my two super helpers Patty and Salome: you are the best!

If you would like to get a taste of fresh, free food from the trash in the future, reserve a day between May 31 & June 13, 2013, when Pfingsweidstrasse 6 on the 3rd floor will be cooking and serving free food for a whole two weeks. More information on this soon here on the blog.

Half a year has passed since we first reported on container/dumster diving here on our blog. TeleTop accompanied our Patty in a series of reports on the subject of food waste, you can watch the whole program here.

In the meantime, as part of the Experimental Social Cooking Workshop, we offered a Dumstertour followed by a creative 3-course cooking session. Our blog reported on this here .

On March 1, the vegan kitchen was invited to an art exhibition together with other interdisciplinary projects as part of the Z+ Showroom at the Zurich University of the Arts. The “good food for you for free” pilot project was presented:

In the end, we had distributed around 100 portions of polenta with green spelt & vegetables, lettuce with radishes and lots of bananas and mandarins live on site – everyone had enjoyed it!

Bon appetit.

Vegan Travel In Paris

Leave a comment

A five-day art city trip in Paris took us to some real vegan gourmet places! On the first evening we went to le potager du marais, where everything is now strictly vegan and organic. The whole atmosphere was a bit “copper, wool, bast”, but the restaurant was still packed and it tasted delicious! The next day we went to brunch at Soya, which for us is now clearly the best “V-address in town” – the buffet is unbeatable and very reasonably priced, top quality. It was so great that we came back for lunch the next day and ordered a starter, main course and dessert with soy cappuccino – we were in bliss at the push of a button in this soy restaurant – definitely our favorite place in Paris.
