This weekend has seen us bustling with art, design and fabulous food! In search of a delicious vegan meal before Adam Arnold’s fashion show last night (impeccable tailoring, just impeccable), we headed to Nicholas’ Restaurant. Their vegan mezza (an order for one is plenty to share) was heavenly - even without the usual flat bread. And, their vegan grape-leaves were perfectly spicy and tasty. I’ve never ordered vegan at Nicholas’s before and this was by far the best meal I have ever had there.

Today, we walked downtown and enjoyed a visit to Blossoming Lotus and Art in the Pearl. If you are in the Pearl, stop by booth #65 - you won’t want to miss seeing Briana Linden’s encaustic art!

Blossoming Lotus has published a really well-put together cookbook, Vegan World Fusion Cuisine. The book is all vegan and about half live foods and includes a forward by Jane Goodall, whom I have great admiration for (and even once had the pleasure to meet for about 5 seconds at a book signing). I haven’t seen the book online, so it may need to be purchased at their cafe. I’ve been reading through it all day and am giddy about making all of these new treats! They also send out a recipe each week through their online mailing list (see the bottom of the page).
