Our resident criminals

We just got back from Poland and the day after tomorrow we're going to St. Petersburg, so we left our two criminals at their cat hotel for the two nights in-between in order to avoid unnecessary confusion. So I just really miss them and that's why I have decided to post a few of their photos. I have found some older ones for now, so no doubt this idea will be continued ;)

New York style dinner in Brussels

One of the best things about New York is the abundance of great vegan restaurants. And not just the cheap, we_don't_serve_any_alcohol places you can find in a lot of European cities, e.g. Warsaw or Brussels. We are talking real, fine dining experience, with fantastic food, excellent organic wine/beer/drinks menu and a cool interior. Our favourite one was Candle 79 at the corner of East 79th Street and Lexington Avenue.

The same owners also have a more casual Candle Café, at the 3rd Avenue, between 74th and 75th Street. Except for being a great choice for a tasty lunch or a relaxed dinner, Candle Café also has an outstanding juice bar, where you can get fantastic juices and smoothies.

As an example of the exquisite cuisine we have tried at the Candle 79, here is the really delicious Seitan Picatta with White Wine and Capers Sauce with baked potatoes, both recipes can be found in the Candle Cafe Cookbook.
