Cookie Crumbles Vegan Bakery

My biggest order yet! The Apple Store in Richmond Centre ordered 120 vanilla cupcakes with strawberry, lemon, vanilla and chocolate frosting for an employee appreciation event 😊 This coming week, I'll be baking for a members only, pop up event at the 30 Minute Hit fitness studio. Planning on debuting 2 new recipes, blueberry lemon crumble cheesecake and matcha cheesecake with strawberry compote 😋.

Had a 3 hour layover in Cologne while waiting for our next train to take us to Brussels and we got to meet up with a friend and shared a delicious lunch at Sattgrün. Sattgrün is fully vegan restaurant and has several locations scattered around Germany. Judging from the constant lineups, they are a popular eatery and I can see why! The mostly self serve restaurant offers a rotating menu of 3 kinds of soup, many different salad fixings and 13 hot dishes to choose from. Choices range from a mouth watering Thai curry with red peppers, carrots, leeks and fried tofu to a kid friendly pasta with a tomato sunflower seed pesto, spinach, mushrooms and peppers. Along with crispy, roasted potatoes, grilled herbed corn on the cob, roasted cauliflower in a lemon tahini sauce and much more! And a full complement of juices, specialty coffees and alcoholic beverages to complete the meal. I wish we had something similar in Vancouver! #vegan #vegansofinstagram #vegansofvancouver #sattgrünköln #sattgrün #vegandeutschland #veganfood #koln #cologne #germany #buffet #richmondbc #vancouvervegan

I was looking forward to the sweet potato waffles at @snackwunder_osnabrueck and they did not disappoint! Snackwunder is a popular vegetarian/vegan, sugar, wheat and plastic free bistro offering sweet and savoury sweet potato waffles, baked goods, nice creams, a full range of specialty coffees plus smoothies sweetened with fruit and dates and much more! Perfect place to while away an afternoon with your bestie. Between the 5 of us we shared: - a savoury Greek waffle topped with aubergine cream, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes, vegan feta, olives, onions and sweet balsamic vinegar - a sweet Apple Dream waffle with homemade apple and cinnamon compote, roasted almond slivers, vanilla and almond cream and powered sugar - a savoury Tuscany waffle with paprika chili cream, arugula, sweet cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and herbs de Provence - a sweet Nut Miracle waffle topped with homemade nut creams, chopped nuts and powdered sugar The kids loved all the different flavours and the crunchy and chewy sweet potato waffles and we all left happy and satisfied

I love farmers' markets 🤩. I love the personal interactions with the growers, bakers, makers, roasters and hearing all the unique stories they bring to the table. So it's no surprise that the highlight of most of my trips is a visit to the local farmers' market on the weekends. The Wochenmarkt Altstadt in Domhof Osnabrück operates every Saturday, year round, from 8am-2pm and usually has between 80-100 vendors. It has been in existence in some form or another since year 900 after permission was granted from the king to set up a market on the grounds of St. Peter's Cathedral (the church you see in the background juxtaposed next to the ferris wheel). It is literally history in the making

I'm in Europe for a month and thought it would be fun to start a visual food diary of all the amazing vegan eats I encounter in each city we visit. To start off, we are at Mellows @das_mellows , a vegan pioneer in Osnabrück. They serve up fresh and hearty international fare such as this buckwheat noodle ramen in a rich, savoury shoyu broth with chard, shiitake mushrooms, bean sprouts and edamame. My kids loved all the different textures and tastes in the green Buddha bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, hummus, Grünkern (a type of spelt), green leaf lettuce, chard and crunchy edamame, all dressed in a tangy tahini. I'll definitely be back before we leave so I can try one of their sumptuous looking quiches!

Next up for Cookie Crumbles on Tour...in Osnabrück, we visit a very popular ice cream place that has been in business for ten years now. Schlecks offers almost as many vegan options as non vegan and your personalized concoction begins with choosing the size of your waffle bowl. After that the choices get infinitely more difficult, such as type of chocolate and praline to coat the bowl (milk, dark or white), the flavour of ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, salted caramel, strawberry etc) then you finally peruse over 100 toppings and sauces to make it a truly epic dessert. All of this is mixed in front of you on a slab of cold stone then presented in your waffle bowl. We decided to go for the house specials and the kids got Cookie Monster ice cream cups with vanilla ice cream, blue sprinkles and an Oreo cookie. I went for the vegan strawberry which featured strawberries in 3 different ways along with pieces of Oreo and white nougat crisps. It was heaven 😊.
