Good food for you for free at the Z+ Showroom at the ZHdK

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.

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…
