It has been almost a month since the end of our VEGAN WORLD CUISINE PROGRAM🌍🌿

Every time we scroll through our gallery, we remember the incredible and different flavors we tasted. 😍
Day after day, so special, so unique!

The third week was focused on Eastern Europe & Nordic, Baltic Cuisine, traveling through Polonia, Scandinavia, Croatia, Hungary, Russia and other countries...

These regions feature hearty dishes designed to last through long, harsh winters, using dairy, eggs, meat and grains.❄️ The process of veganization has been very dynamic and full of creative substitutions!🤓

Do you know Pierogi, the famous Polish dumplings?

💪🏼Here are the different solutions we used to veganize them:

Dough: The traditional pierogi dough is naturally vegan (flour, water, and salt), so no changes were necessary.

Fillings: Replace traditional fillings with mashed potatoes, caramelized onions, and vegan cheese. Sauerkraut and mushrooms make excellent plant-based fillings.

Serving: Use vegan butter or plant-based yogurt as a topping.
