5 Favourite Vegan Restaurants in Toronto

Whether you live in Toronto (Hey, neighbour!) or are just visiting, it's always great to get restaurant recommendations from a friend rather than using ye olde google search and hoping for the best. Having lived in Toronto for my entire vegan life (except for 6 months on a cruise ship!) I've found a couple places that I love to take family and friends when they're in town or my fiancé on a date! Since I consider you a true friend, I thought I'd share my favourite places to get my nom on in the big Canadian city, free of charge! (Aren't I a gem?)

Vegan Mousse Recipe

I'm not a big dessert person. Don't get me wrong, a well placed truffle is great. But I'm not going to be baking constantly or buying sweets every day. It's just not my thing! That being said, when a special date came up for me and my fiancé I decided I wanted to make him a sweet vegan treat as a surprise! I didn't want to spend a huge amount of time making it, but I wanted it to be delicious. I had been doing research for my 10 Yummy Vegan Cake Recipes post and was getting inspired. I tweaked a couple different recipes based on what I had available and my preferences, and what came out was SO GOOD. Ridiculously good. Not just the taste, but the textured was so divinely mousse-y. Lets just say, I was pretty happy. And since I know you're all waiting with baited breath, I'll tell you. Yes, my fiancé loved it. Jason requested that I make it "All the time!", if that's any indication!

10 Yummy Vegan Cake Recipes To Try!

What birthday is complete without cake? You are correct, no birthday is complete without cake. I'm not much of a baker, but on one day every year it seems utterly appropriate to try (and fail) to make a delicious birthday cake. Check out some awesome vegan cake recipes from around the web for your birthday baking pleasure!

Birthday Wishlist: Vegan Edition

In my family we have a tradition. Five times a year, a month or so before each of our birthdays and before christmas, an email will come in listing everything on our wishlist. We're a very practical family, and like to know exactly what the others need or want when those times of year come around. I can actually go back and see my birthday wishlist from 2002 if I go deep enough on my hard rive... All of this to say, I have a bit of experience making wish lists. Well, every kind of list, really. But that's a topic for another day.
