  • Tasty, Affordable Edamame Located!

    Edamame are young soybeans, best eaten warm and still in the pod and often served as a bar snack in Japan. I picked up a taste for edamame in the izakaya bars of Tokyo but I haven’t found them as easy to find here in Paris… until today at the friendly local Picard. They are…

  • Veggie Pride in Lyon, May 16

Based on their site and the materials available there, it will be a fairly militant affair with a message of animal solidarity and animal rights.

  • French Hemp: Veganize It!

Add to that the essential fatty acids and vitamin E and you have a very important food. Hemp seeds are nice eaten by the spoonful, generously sprinkled on salads, added to smoothies or…

  • Ayurvedic Vegetarian Cooking Class

    A friend invited me to a vegetarian cooking class at her yoga school: Centre Sivananda de Yoga Vedanta. This 3-hour class (held in French) actually began with a one hour lecture on aryurvedic principles. The instructor ‘om’-ed and chanted beautifully and had a saint-like aura. I found her approach really interesting and often inspiring and…

  • Krishna-Bhavan Vegetarian Tamil Cuisine

My favorite has to be Krishna Bhavan, located in the Little Jaffna neighborhood between Gare du Nord and La Chapelle which is home to the city’s Tamil population. It is said that Tamils consider serving food as a service to humanity, and…
