For muscle building. You can smoke the rest.

Organic hempWhen I was still ignorant about nutrition, I drank protein shakes after long runs. The usual. You know, the swanky tubs full of protein powder with the words “MEGAPOWER” on them. You read organic in vain. What was smelling there, in case I cleaned the plastic shake cup sloppily, was either egg protein from barn-raised chickens or milk/whey protein from cows with mastitis (udder inflammation). Shame on me.

A few weeks ago, I reactivated my running program. By chance, I was given a tin of organic hemp protein powder as a gift. It contains almost 50 grams of protein per 100 grams. Plus carbohydrates, fat, omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, fiber and sodium. It is also lactose and gluten free. Whether protein powder actually builds muscle to a large extent, and not mainly the manufacturer’s fortune, is controversial. Oh, what am I ranting about, very likely a balanced diet provides (high performance) athletes with everything he or she needs.

I myself take the powder occasionally. If I’m still a bit hungry after my evening jog, but don’t want to eat much because my sleep will suffer, I throw a banana into the Vita-Mix and whatever else is lying around in the fruit bowl and sprinkle one or two tablespoons on top. I like the taste of the green Mucki powder. The organic hand protein powder is also available in well-stocked organic stores.

Impressions of the Experimental social cooking Part 4

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:

Playlist_experimental

 

 

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):

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.

PETA commercial with Joaquin Phoenix boycotted by US broadcaster.

And the Oscar goes to….. Joaquin Phoenix. Whether the star actor and self-confessed vegan will hear this sentence for the second time after his Jonny Cash performance in “Walk the Line”, we will only find out on February 24, 2013. His acceptance speech would certainly be exciting. It’s quite conceivable that he won’t be able to resist taking a swipe at ABC. The US broadcaster has decided to cancel the PETA’s latest TV ad during the Oscars, in which Joaquin Phoenix plays the leading role. ABC’s reasoning according to PETA? The TV commercial was too controversial and political.

Cow in your coffee? Oh, no. Cafés & restaurants with alternatives.

Soy, oat and rice milk do not yet have a permanent place in all catering fridges. But there are more and more of them in Zurich. The vegan kitchen picked up the phone and called the Ron Orp Kafiquartett to ask about cow’s milk alternatives. In addition to answers such as “We don’t want to have anything to do with soy milk”, there was also positive feedback: During the discussion, one café owner decided to serve additional soy milk. Others also care about the topic. Instead of making our own list, we have added to theirs. For example, the one by André Huber, which is updated on Facebook and has been copied and pasted below (as of 10.2.13). You can also find it on google maps, where Fabienne Grimm is at work. And now we need a spelt and hazelnut cappuccino…
