Weihnachten steht ja traditionell für gutes Essen. Ich habe hier mal ein paar festliche Vorschläge zusammen getragen, die gut passen, die man mit der Familie teilen kann - und die von mir in höchst wissenschaftlichen menschlichen Experimenten mit Veganern und Nicht-Veganern getestet und für gut befunden wurden:
I like my food vegan and my guests hungry. Stay tuned for plant-based awesomesauce!

Weihnachten | Christmas | 2017 | III/III
Am 2. Weihnachtsfeiertag waren wir bei meinen Schwiegereltern - da gab's auch was Veganes. Aber viel wichtiger ist der familieninterne 3. Feiertag: Mr. Squirrels Geburtstag. Und da haben wir eingeladen und auch gut gekocht.
On Boxing Day, we went to see my parents-in-law - and we had vegan food, too. But most importantly is our inofficial, family-based third day of Christmas - Mr. Squirrel's birthday. We did a bit of cooking and invited family.

Squirrel Dinner #1
English version below!
Nachdem Mr. Squirrel und ich vor einiger Zeit zum Supperclub bei der lieben Anja vom Vegan Foodnerd eingeladen waren und es total toll fanden, dachte ich, es sei an der Zeit auch mal Leute in unser Wohnzimmer einzuladen. Per Couchsurfing hatten wir zwar schon den einen oder anderen Gast, aber nie so. Und so hab ich das dann gemacht. Gestern Abend waren Melanie, Melanie, Katrin und Björn da um sich durch Folgendes durchzufuttern:
Nebenher: Tomatenbrötchen und Kräuterbutter
Erster Gang: Auberginenröllchen und Cœur de bœuf Tomate mit Moxxarella.
Zweiter Gang: Mini-Sommerrollen mit süßsauerer Sauce und scharfen Sesam-Gurkensalat.
Dritter Gang: Smashed potatoes mit "Honig"-Senf-Mayonnaise und Rukola.Vierter Gang: Falafelteller mit Cashewfeta.
Fünfter Gang: Himbeer-Joghurt-Eis und Mini-Rosenwasser-Pistazien-Cupcakes.

New York Food Adventures Pt. II: Restaurant Edition!
Well, hello. I am glad I have a kitchen at my disposal so I won't have to afford eating out all the time. However, I managed to get to three different places in New York... and visited each one twice. Because they were too good! All three places were all vegan (with the exception of some beverage options at one) and served fake meats. I'm just mentioning this up front, because I know not everyone is into this. Anyone interested in my statement on fake meats? It's right here in my "Chick'n Wings" recipe.
Nun, hallo. Ich bin ja froh hier eine Küche zu haben, damit ich es mir nicht zu oft leisten muss auswärts zu essen. Nichtsdestotrotz habe ich es geschafft mir drei verschiedene Läden in New York anzugucken un dzu testen. Und ich bin in jedem zwei mal gewesen, weil sie so gut waren! Alle drei Läden waren komplett vegan (bis auf ein oder zwei Ausnahmen bei der Getränkewahl in einem Laden) und haben auch fake meat verkauft. Ich sage das nur vorneweg, weil ich weiß, dass das nicht jeder so drauf steht. Falls wen interessiert, wie ich zu fake meat stehe? Kann man in meinem "Chick'n Wings" Rezept nachlesen (bisher nur auf Englisch, aber die Übersetzung kommt noch).

Traditional German Cuisine: Roulades!
![]() |
| Roulades with red cabbage, gravy, and potatoes |

| Roulades with fried napkin dumplings and "bacon" beans |
Conventionally, Roulades in German cuisine are made from thinly sliced beef filled with onions, bacon, and pickles. They were served with potatoes (or mashed potatoes), lots and lots of gravy and usually cooked red cabbage. It's the type of dish that many people of my generation (you know, those millenials, generation Y, people born in the 80s) were fed as a special treat when they visited their grandma. The same was true for me. Roulades are a little like individual little roasts that each diner would cut up themselves on their plate instead of being served a slice of a big roast.
I like roulades. But obviously I wouldn't want any cow or pig on my plate. The boyfriend likes this type of cooking (you may go as far as calling it comfort food because Rouladen are usually associated with the coziness of your grandma's living room, the woman who spoiled you rotten. Yeah, I know that's not true for everyone. But you get the point.) even more than I do, so he insisted we'd try this recipe by Jérôme Eckmeier, a chef who's made himself quite a name in the vegan scene in Germany. We made some slight changes and are convinced that our instructions will be much better than his. ^_^

Vegan food is boring, doesn't taste good, but that's probably because it's mostly kale.
Ah, I love hearing "But then... what DO you eat?" and "What are you allowed to eat?" Fortunately, I'm allowed to eat anything I want, except I chose not to eat some things.
So, today, I won't give you any recipes, but only things that may illustrate all the things I eat. :)
If you see any thing you like and want the recipe, just let me know and I'll post a blog on that specific dish!
