More than just a juice store – Sasou juice bar

Leave a comment

Sasou is much more than a juice store…

This summer I’ve been traveling a lot outside of Zurich, so it’s been a long time since I’ve been to Sasou.

But when I was out and about in the Langstrasse quarter again, I was almost magically drawn to Tiffany in the Sasou juice bar.

I particularly like the Easy Rider juice (carrots, apples and ginger) and the vegan humus sandwich, and I don’t leave Sasou without stocking up on a few Powerballs anyway.

Tiffany now also has a vegan wrap on offer, which – as a self-confessed foodie – I naturally had to try on the spot. Very tasty!!! I simply took the humus sandwich with me to go.

Sasou’s offer:

FRESHLY PREPARED: 4 different sandwiches, 5 different salads, 6 variations of powerballs (raw dessert) and many juices/smoothies.

As winter is approaching, we serve a warming soup from Monday to Friday.

Apart from the cheese sandwich and the quinoa salad, everything is vegan.

I and my vegan kitchen stand up for fundamental rights: At least the right to life, liberty and integrity as defined in
Art. 3 UDHR
whether human or animal.

We have read and seen a lot about the refugees in the last few weeks.

The images of dead and washed up children on the beach robbed me of sleep or the thoughts of people locked up in a refrigerated truck gave me bad nightmares.

 

Big activism starts with each individual in small steps – so here are my tips on how you too can make a difference in small ways:

 

1

Dinner together

Solinetz makes it possible: people who live in Zurich and the surrounding area invite refugees to lunch or dinner. Experience shows that these encounters are very enriching for everyone. A win-win situation for hosts and guests: a refugee arrives and a person with a name and their own story, or even a friend, leaves. You can find all information
here
.

2

Femmes tables

Femmes-Tische of the Swiss Red Cross brings together mothers from different countries of origin. A hostess invites five to eight people from her circle of acquaintances to her home. Moderators lead the uncomplicated discussions on parenting, integration and health issues in the languages of origin of the participants. Femmes-Tische opens up new opportunities for action for the participants, promotes social networks and thus makes a significant contribution to integration. You can find all information
here

Vegan cupcakes at the Streetfood Festival

Leave a comment

SFF_FB_Sep15This time, the Street Food Festival is taking place as part of “Zürich isst” – the month of experiences around nutrition, the environment and enjoyment. Directly on the lake at Hafendamm Enge, between Seebad Enge and Quai 61.
The Street Food Festival No. 4 not only offers a selection of over 80 food stalls with delicacies from all over the world, but also makes the snack trend increasingly sustainable: instead of disposable crockery, reusable crockery is used, it is recycled and organic waste and garbage are strictly separated. This in collaboration with
Foodwaste.ch
 and the Mercator Foundation Switzerland. Michelle is also represented again this time with her cupcake stand and is presenting three different vegan options:

– vegan Oreo cupcakes
– vegan peanut butter cupcakes
– vegan chai cupcakes
Oreo cupcake
Your cupcakes are 100% handmade: go and try them!

There are no parking spaces on site. The best way to get there is on foot or by public transport. And it’s also best to bring a blanket for a picnic.

Zurich will have one more Hiltl restaurant from tomorrow.

The Hiltl roof terrace above the PKZ WOMEN at Bahnhofstrasse 88 in Zurich opens its roofs on September 2, 2015 – two large roof terraces with a view of Bahnhofstrasse.

You will find the popular Hiltl Buffet there. The stylishly designed roof terrace (see photo by David Biedert, www.davidbiedert.com ) invites you to eat on site and linger, but take-away is of course also possible.

During the day – as a break from shopping – you can enjoy coffee and tea specialties or cocktails on the roof terrace.

The vegan idea is not finished after a purely plant-based children’s meal: a non-violent life (
ahimsa
) also involves developing an awareness of how objects are produced.

These include many
stuffed animals
but also wooden toys made from renewable raw materials, such as this train.

Vegan is the new vegetarian.

The Street Food Festival already showed that almost every food stall had a vegan option on offer. The spectacle proves that vegan food can go hand in hand with a visit to the theater and is in keeping with the spirit of the times: More and more restaurants are offering a vegan option. We have summarized the highlights for you.

 

 

Cantina

Vegetables from root to leaf, tofu.

Henri- laughs

Organic cuisine with oriental mezze platter (vegan option on request), quinoa burgers (vegetarian) with salad.

Landis

Organic fair trade and slow food products with a selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Mamaput

African cuisine, dodo (plantains), akara (bean balls) and if you want, you can put together a plate of appetizers from the various pots and round it all off with egusi (pumpkin seed sauce).

Patata

Potatoes in foil, potato noggi, French fries with salad.

IMG_1633

Lido

The Lido Paradiso offers wood-fired pizzas as fine as Im
Rosso
 or the
Bar Basso
they maintain a Cucina Italiana and there is also pasta. The Lido collective only uses organic products, and vegan food is also put on the grill.

You can find the complete gastro program at the Theaterspektakel
here.

The Röhrli Bar

Off to the crate! Conni Stüssi and her Röhrli Bar team have gone under the radar – in the truest sense of the word. They turn the Röhrli bar into a land of crates: there are stacks of two-person crates, soap boxes, flicker boxes, treasure chests, boxes to look in and boxes to look out of. The food box contains everything that makes children’s hearts beat faster: Hot dogs, popcorn, treats, and if you want something healthy: Apples. And of course101 varieties of syrup! Mampfred, who eats all the compostable waste, makes sure that the waste box doesn’t overflow. This year, he will be relieved of the task of the cup return lady, as the syrup is now available in returnable cups.

Street art suitable for children takes place in good weather on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons in front of the Röhrlibar. More information on site at the bar. Admission is free, but there is a hat collection.

By the way, a wonderful merry-go-round is in operation from MO, DI, DO and FR from 5 pm, MI and SA from 3 pm, SO from 2 pm

cult food

The book “The Cult of Our Food” is as gripping as a thriller.

It spans a wide arc. The tricks and machinations of the food industry are uncovered, new food trends are presented and the importance of food in past and present society is pondered.

The writers, most of them journalists, examine the cult of food mentioned in the title from various angles. The focus is on the statement that “You are what you eat” has taken on religious traits today.

Eating is no longer just about providing the body with nutrients, but a question of ethics and lifestyle, as the trend towards veganism and the increasing demand for organic products show.

Anyone who lets themselves be guided only by desire when choosing a meal runs the risk of being branded an irresponsible glutton.

It is sometimes said that eating has become more complicated. But for my taste, there is too much nostalgia for the good, old, carefree times.

I think it’s okay if you have to use your head when shopping and choosing a restaurant. Think about factory farming, ask yourself where the food comes from, read the ingredients of the products.

However, if you spend hours analyzing your shopping basket in terms of sustainability before every purchase, it does get complicated.

The book is not easy to digest, but it is not heavy fare either. It was published by NZZ-Verlag and you can tell from the texts. In terms of style and research quality, they are on a par with the NZZ am Sonntag. Many reports, analyses and interviews have also appeared in the NZZ am Sonntag.

In addition to the exciting and enlightening texts, the book features numerous infographics, food photos and portraits.

Conclusion: If you want to satisfy your hunger for a balanced, tasty read, you should definitely take a look at “The Cult of Food”. Despite the proud price of around 50 francs.
