The Barbie “Career Collection”

What exactly does a Barbie doll have to do with veganism?

More than you think. The answer lies in last year’s Christmas presents. As a working mother and vegan, I always ask myself which toys are useful for my little daughter.

When I was pregnant, I read a whole book about the Mattel company and decided to only give my daughter Barbies that have a job other than being a model (nothing against the modeling profession, I did it myself, but the sooner my daughter learns that women can have professions that are still considered atypical, the better).

The “Career Collection” fulfills exactly this requirement and that’s why I ordered two great Barbies for my daughter via Ebay before Christmas: One Barbie has already been to the moon and the other is a soccer world champion. You can order Carrier Barbies here.

Home office lunch for lovers.

homeofficelunch

Sometimes my husband, Nemi Wildbolz, works with me in the home office and when he does, he’s mercilessly involved in the vegan kitchen. He doesn’t get paid a wage, but if he has done the work assigned to him to my complete satisfaction, I take over the cooking. Lunch should be quick and yet it has to be fresh, wholesome and healthy. Today we had a zucchini and mushroom stir-fry with rocket and spinach salad.

Cooking courses. New at Vier Linden.

8nx03ttxex0lz4g-mjkozekbf9ufr5kuloifnx7wl6a

The vegan kitchen now organizes its cooking courses at Vier Linden on Hottingerplatz in Zurich. Be both chef and guest in a cooking class led by Lauren Wildbolz. We cook in the Vier Linden catering kitchen and go upstairs to the snack café for a relaxed meal and a chat. Some things remain the same. Only organic ingredients go into the pots. We source a large proportion of our ingredients from and via Vier Linden.

Premiere with the vegan kitchen cooking course “passion”

Are you passionate about cooking and want to learn how to cook vegan dishes with that certain extra flavor? Lauren Wildbolz shows you how to expand your food repertoire with sophisticated, delicious creations. We whet your appetite for cooking with a nutritious theory section. Then we prepare a multi-course meal together. After the pleasure of cooking, we indulge in the pleasure of eating and, if you like, drink red and white wine with it.

Four lime trees. The little gourmet mile.

The Vier Linden is a Zurich institution. Vegans make a pilgrimage to the Traîteur at lunchtime, which, under the leadership of Aris Gutzmann, takes particularly good care of the taste buds. Right next door is the health food store with lots of great products and a snack café and bakery are just one door away. We can only sing the praises of philosophy. Vier Linden attaches great importance to the careful processing of their products, which they produce by hand wherever possible. Additives and preservatives are their undoing. Products from biodynamic cultivation are preferred.

Our Tattoo for Charity campaign raised CHF 2000. We donated half of this amount to Hofnarr, an animal welfare farm that is committed to animal welfare in many ways. The other half goes to Refugee Aid Switzerland.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all three tattoo artists who worked for a whole day free of charge and collected the donations. More information about the three of them:

Easily “veganize” traditional Weinachtsgutzli recipes.

Here are a few tips:

  • Egg yolk: 1 egg can be replaced by 2 tablespoons of ground linseed or psyllium mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. A great egg substitute powder can be made from corn starch and lupin flour, almond puree mixed with water or starch or soy flour mixed with water. Bananas can also be used for binding.
  • Protein: We recommend applesauce or freshly grated apples for the airiness of a pastry, or why not experiment with aquafaba? You can find everything about aquafaba
    here.
  • Butter: rapeseed oil or rapeseed margarine (palm oil-free).
  • Gelatine: Its simple; Agar-Agar.
  • Honey: agave syrup, maple syrup, pear syrup, apple syrup, coconut blossom sugar, dried fruit, raw cane sugar (panela/ muscovado), stevia or birch sugar.
  • Milk: coconut, oat, spelt-hazelnut, quinoa, amaranth, almond, rice or millet milk.
