I have been wanting to try making vegan eggs for a long time now! It look so impossible that I kept putting it off. I found this recipe on the “exceedingly vegan” blog. It was actually very easy, and worked! So often I find a recipe on line and it actually does not work. So …

Amsterdam – Bolhoed vegetarian restaurant A week or so ago we were in Amsterdam. As mentioned in my last post , we had been put onto the Happy Cow vegetarian and vegan restaurant guide. The first one we tried was Bolhoed. It was freezing cold, and only still mid afternoon so we decided just to pop …
