When partaking in vegan dishes, it’s important to remember that each bite is an experience. Food, like art, is meant to be appreciated, not merely gobbled down. Our #FoodFriday blog is dedicated to the appreciation of great vegan food, and this week, we’ve got quite the selection of all-green cuisine, compiled from the mouth-watering galleries of the great food enthusiasts of Instagram. From sweet meals to savory wonders, our Food Friday is sure to delight you.
Feeling inspired? Dig in!
Let’s start with something sweet, shall we? Our first choice for this week is by @Elliefordglutenfree, showcasing this delicious-looking vegan vanilla bean cake, iced over with chocolate and decorated with blood orange slices and edible flowers. This vegan sweet treat looks quite romantic, from the rich dark coloring to the flowers scattered around the overlapping slices. Valentine’s Day may have come and gone, but you can always enjoy something sweet with your loved ones regardless of the occasion.
Here we have this noodle bowl by @lettuce.eat.some.tacos (hehe), made with an assortment of winter vegetables. Some greens are called winter greens because they can withstand the cold weather due to the sugar that they contain, providing hardy nutrients in less ideal climes for harvest. Enduring the chilly winds of life can be tough, but when you’re sweet enough to face cold shoulders and icy silences, then you can survive anything that the world throws at you.
@flavorsnplaces presents her vegan rendition of an Indian snack. This Dal Palak Pakora is composed of split chickpeas, cilantro and spinach, cooked into a batch of well-textured fritter that look heavenly on that lime green plate. We’d love to sample this wondrous delight, but alas we cannot eat an image. We can only admire.
Sometimes, we feel that calling plants and vegetables “greens” is a great disservice to our vegan ingredients. After all, our all-natural dishes can be all the colors of the rainbow, as these vivid sourdoughs by @blondieandrye can attest. With a myriad smattering of veggies and fruits (remember what a tomato truly is), these breads will be sure to satisfy whoever partakes in their rainbow goodness.
The final Food Friday photo for the week is a personal favorite of ours. Ratatouille is a French dish that was once known only as a humble farmer’s dinner, a meal that they themselves wrought from the earth that they tilled. @kaukaus_plate showcases their rendition of this distinctive Provencal meal, a richly-colored, well-textured masterpiece that reminds us of why we adore vegan cuisine.
