If you’re a vegan you might recognize this routine. You ask if something is vegan. You ask another guy at the store if it’s vegan. You go away and you come back another day and you double check. You maybe even get invited into the kitchen. You discuss eggs. You discuss milk. You bring up [...]

Sunday Recipe: Raw Green Pea Hummus
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Groceries, Raw, Recipe, Sunday on December 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My sister introduced me to this very quick, easy and yummy hummus recipe. And it’s raw! I use the organic frozen peas from Picard or Naturalia. Peas are generally frozen shortly after picking (but some brands may be blanched prior to freezing.) Frozen products are still considered raw: although a small amount of enzymes are [...]

La Victoire Suprême du Coeur has gone vegan! This is a big deal for Paris… now we have two vegan restaurants! You used to have to request vegan versions of their dishes, but they have recently had an image makeover, new decor and a whole new menu that they call vege chic. The new menu is [...]

I was walking up Rue Debelleyme from Rose Bakery when I looked up and saw this big sign. I thought to myself “What could this be? I need to find out right away!” My heart started beating faster like a true grocery store addict and I decided to go in and check it out. Well, [...]
Buckwheat Crêpes

Oh, it must be so easy to be a vegetarian, wandering around town eating eggy crêpes dripping with cheese or Nutella hot off the steamy grill whenever the fancy takes you. Of course, a vegan can always make her own crêpes, but when you crave a bit more convenience I really recommend the ready-made organic [...]
Vegan Soaps and Creams

When you eat vegan, you also start thinking about what you’re putting on the outside of your body. After all, your skin is your largest organ. So I am a bit particular about the soap I use. I had heard a lot of good things about the company Lush. It’s absolutely great that they are [...]

Egg Nog sounds totally gross in English, but it is even worse in French “Lait de poule” [Chicken Milk.] But Père Noël has to have a drink to go with his cookies, so this is what we whip up chez moi. So go and get your “noggin” ready [old English word for small cup] and create a [...]

After reading quite a few out of date and incomplete lists of vegetarian restaurants in Paris, I thought I would try and create one myself. Here it is! Here in France the awning will say ‘vegetarian restaurant’ but they might serve fish because they are macrobiotic. I’m going to include those restaurants here, even though [...]
