The devil made me do it

This is my first attempt at food blogging.

Why did I decide to give it a try, you wonder?

Well, first and foremost, because I love food. And I love food blogs (especially the ones with plenty of foodporn... mmmmm!). But there don't seem to be many German vegan blogs around, or at least not many that aren't primarily AR/political. So this will be my attempt at contributing to the German vegan food blogosphere (ooookay... remind me to never use that word again).


A few words about me and the contents of this blog:

I'm a "baby" vegan. I transitioned from vegetarianism to veganism only about six months ago and I'm still learning my way around the vegan kitchen.

Sometimes I'm a lazy cook, who likes to use easy sauce mixes and other short cuts.

I'm not a health-nut or a skinny girl. Fresh produce and healthy meals are good things, but I don't watch my calorie and fat intake.

Things I rarely use:
- tomatos (tomato-based sauces are fine with me, other than that I'm not too fond of them)
- olives (only small amounts, pureed, in a pesto every now and then)
- capers (see 'olives')
- rice (I really like sushi, but I hardly ever use rice in other dishes)

Things I never use:
- eggplants/aubergines
- pumpkin (other than carving one out for Halloween)
- brussels sprouts
- raisins
- peaches
- fresh ginger
- lemon grass
- fennel
- red capsicum (maybe I'm neurotic, but I only like the yellow and green ones)
- plums

Yes, my tastebuds are weird like that. But then so's the rest of me.


Have a random food pic for a start:

The tofu veggie noodle stifry I had the other day (can you tell I'm a bit rubbish with the camera?)
