Lunch some days ago with amazing potatoes, fresh red cabbage and parsley from our organic field! The tofu is fried in a little olive oil, deglazed with some soy sauce.

first time home made 'laugenstangerl'! they were awesome, these little pretzels!

simple yeast dough (flour, water, salt and tiny little bit of sugar) - make pretzels, buns, .. whatever you like - dip it in boiling water with baking soda, sprinkle with seasalt and bake for about 30 min at 180°C.

we ate them fresh from the oven with avocado - and later on with a delicious vegetable soup. happy monday!

Oven roasted aubergine are one of our all time favorites. Add some fresh parsley, one minced garlic clove, a teaspoon of tahini and some olive oil and you have an amazing Middle Eastern dish to enjoy. Mahlzeit!

As the leaves are falling, we feel like something warm and hearty in our bellies like this: Strong autumn soup with carrots, lentils, barley, quinoa and amaranth.

Home made seitan (marinated over night in oil, soy sauce, spices and garlic), veggie skewers and corn cobs. Special guest: Grilled banana as a side to the vegan chocolate cake.
