MorningStar Farms Veggie Bites

OK, I know, I’ve been eating (and blogging about) way too much processed foods these days. Normally my diet doesn’t include all that many fake meat products, but on my rare trips back to the US, I go a little crazy in the freezer aisle of the grocery store. We don’t have MorningStar Farms, Gardenburger, […]

Prinz Myshkin: my new favorite vegetarian restaurant

I’ve only eaten there twice, but it’s easy for me to say that Prinz Myshkin is going to quickly become my favorite restaurant once I move to Munich in January. This hip place in the city center has an extensive all-vegetarian menu that ranges from vegetable sushi to pasta to Asian dishes to German classics.

This […]

Munich’s Hirschgarten: ask and you shall receive

I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating: if you don’t see something veggie-friendly on the menu, ask the waiter about your options.
Last week I was at the Hirschgarten restaurant in Munich (usually the city’s largest beer garden, but it’s indoor-only when there’s a foot of snow outside). There were only two vegetarian dishes on […]

Spaghetti and meatless balls

While the rest of the family was chomping down on spaghetti and meat balls one night this week, I was giving Quorn meatless meatballs a try. I’ve always been a fan of other Quorn products, so I had high hopes for these, too.
They didn’t disappoint. The balls’ texture and flavor went well with the spaghetti […]

The Tofurky review

As I mentioned a couple days ago, I decided to get a Tofurky for Thanksgiving. It turned out better than I expected (granted, my expectations were pretty low). The tiny little 6-serving roast had to jockey for position in an oven full of a giant turkey, dressing, pies, and other stuff, but it managed to […]

A Thanksgiving Vegetarian Carnival

Welcome to a very special holiday edition of the vegetarian carnival. OK, so it’s not much different from a regular old edition of the carnival… I just felt like saying that.
Let’s start with some vegetarian recipes, just in case you still haven’t decided what to eat today while most of America chomps down on turkey. […]

Vegetarian turkey

Despite the fact that I’ve heard rumors that it tastes awful, and despite the fact that it is sure to bring me nothing but ridicule at the Thanksgiving table, I decided on a whim to pick up a frozen Tofurky yesterday. What can I say? I get a little over-excited every time I come back […]
