VEGAN: fruit inspiration #eattherainbow

[en] hi peeps! delightful, delectable and delicious: all can function as characteristics, or even synonyms for fruits. fruits are full of healthy power, they are beautiful to look at and nourishing. fruits can serve as a whole or breakfast accompaniment, as a healthy snack, they can be eaten for lunch or dinner. they can be enjoyed raw or cooked. there are so many possibilities to become creative with fruits. social media such as instagram inspires us to decorate it in beautiful arrangements to live up to the beauty of this food and because you eat with your eyes (first)! all the photographs in this post are self made and also made their way onto my instagram account. feel free to stop by for a visit!

my favourite fruits are raspberries, strawberries ... i guess all kinds of berries. and of course red grapes.

do you like fruits as well? which ones are your favourites?
how do you love to prepare them?

'you're vegan?!?!? 

are you snobbish? 

do you have too much money? 

what you gonna eat? 

and don't you suffer from hypomineralization?'

all of these questions were stuff i already needed to hear when i stated that i have started to eat purely vegan. well.

what should i eat? you can see it in this post. colourful, healthy and saturating meals full of minerals and great ingredients.

VEGAN: homemade vegan apple tartelettes

these tiny totally tempting and delicious apple tartelettes were my very first vegan cakes i have ever made. i didn't think that it would be so easy to make vegan cakes. i thought 'omg how do i replace the egg etc.' and then i have read online that you simply could replace eggs with a banana. because it holds the dough together. and that's the only task egg's have to accomplish. if you don't want your cakes to have too much banana flavour you simply use one's which are still a bit green or simply some which are not so ripe. and butter can easily be replaced by margarine.

those tartelettes look great and taste great. if you got a sweet tooth then what would you want more?

VEGAN: food haul.

some time ago i received packages from different onlineshop with loads and loads of vegan goodies. on the message board of kleiderkreisel.de, an online swap meet for second hand apparel and accessoires, i have read a thread dealing with vegan sweets and candies. 
a member said that there is a brand offering vegan alternatives for mars, snickers and co. - it is called 'go max go'. 
because i somewhat mourned after different sweets i used to eat when i was younger this was quite interesting for me. 

i searched at veganwonderland.de for products of 'go max go' and found/bought 'mahalo', an alternative for 'bounty', 'twilight', an alternative for 'milkyway', 'buccaneer', an alternative for 'mars' (omg that was so amazingly delicious, you cannot imagine !!!) and 'snap', that's puffed rice with a chocolate coat. 

VEGAN: 유부초밥 - homemade yubuchobap / inari sushi.

some days ago i have made my very first sushi - fried tofu bags marinated with maple syrup and filled with sushirice and sesame. in japan these are called inari sushi and in hangul (korean language) it is called 유부초밥, or in western letters 'yubuchobap'.

they are quite easy to make, unbelievably delicious and totally vegan.

유부초밥 was one of my favourite korean dishes when i was a child and up to this day it still belongs to my favourites.

if you need the recipe feel free to contact me!

VEGAN: homemade nutella.

VEGAN: homemade vegan pizza.

making your very own pizza dough isn't difficult - it's very easy! just like tarte flambée, you simply need very few ingredients which can be counted on the fingers of one hand. for the basic dough you need flour, yeast, water and olive oil. you can spice it up with sugar and a bit of salt, but you don't have to. thus it's very easy!

below you can read the exact amounts which you will need to mix the dough together.

you can add different toppings. tomato purée and vegan cheese are essential. what you add on top is free for you to choose. for my very first homemade vegan pizza i have chosen onion bits, tomato slices, kalamata olive slices and many different herbs and chili.

it's very delicious and oh so easy to make - you simply have to try it out yourself!

FOOD: my vegan week.

some weeks ago i have started a personal experiment which i now want to share with you. for a long time i had the idea in mind to try a vegan diet. i wanted to solely eat vegan food for a period of 7 days. why did i have the idea? when i was in my teenage years i already have started to live vegetarian - but i only succeeded for about half a year. my mum wasn't quite enthusiastic about my decision - also because i had quite a few deficiency signs in respect of different mineral nutrients and vitamins and although being korean she didn't believe that i could eradicate all of these deficiencies by only eating vegetarian food. during the course of these 6 months she tried to persuade me to become omni again with cooking my favourite omni meals and eating those dishes herself -.- ... well, but that's another story.
