Christmas Dinner: Order your "Turkey", "Chicken"

2009-12-10T21:56:51Z

Hey everyone, all the holiday dinners are coming up shortly, and I just
wanted to remind you about the Nelakee products that are available.

They all make a very delicious alternative to the traditional foods served.

There is a half chicken that is shaped to sort of look like a chicken that
is delicious when baked with a sauce.

While I'm at it, I should also share that I wrote to Kahlua recently
b/c I bought a little six-pack with their Regular/French
Vanilla/Hazelnut-flavoured coffee liquors and they list 'caramel'
as an ingredient. The response I got back was that it is 'caramel
colour', which is derived from corn.

Chocolate

I was at Hartman's (on Bank St.) earlier and President's Choice has a new chocolate treat out
for Xmas that seems pretty vegan-friendly to me (unless you don't consume sugar?) They're like After 8s but with no
milk/butter oil and the chocolate actually tastes better (well, I think
so anyway.) They had them last year, too, but they're in a new white box and apparently have more cocoa in them now. They

Zen Kitchen praised in Best Restaurants edition of Ottawa Magazine

2009-10-30T11:54:31Z

Ottawa Magazine just published its annual Best Restaurants in Ottawa
edition. Zen Kitchen didn't make the top ten but it was in the
"restaurants to watch" section which is usually newer restaurants.
These often end up in the top ten in following years.
Nice to see a vegetarian/vegan resto in there.
