Leave a comment

(Version française plus bas!)

I’m super excited to let you know that Montreal’s vegan festival is coming back this week-end at the Marché Bonsecours in the Old Port. Last year I had a lot of fun perusing the different stands and came back home with quite a lot of spices and an excellent book. I wasn’t too happy about the long queue I had to endure to get in, but this year, they are extending the festival to two days instead of just one, so it should be much better. How exciting!

This year’s schedule is quite extensive! At the festival, you can find all vegan foods from restaurants, farmers, and specialty products. There will also be quite a lot of very exciting guest speakers and food demos to learn new techniques! You will also be able to get in touch with animal protection associations and like-minded people. I really hope you’ll have a chance to go check this FREE festival out. See you there!

I also wanted to let you know about the blog’s new schedule. I really want to bring you with the best content possible, but it takes me a lot of time to come up with recipes, try them out, take pictures and write down the posts. As I also need to work, I’m changing the daily posting schedule to a Monday, Wednesday and Friday posting schedule. That way I’ll be able to bring you high quality content and still buy food… Cheers to that!

Je suis super excitée de vous annoncer que le Festival végane de Motréal débarque en ville cette fin de semaine au Marché Bonsecours du Vieux Port de Montréal! L’année dernière j’avais adoré me promener parmis les stands et j’étais repartie avec une tonne d’épices et un excellent livre. Je n’avais pas trop aimé la langue file que j’avais du faire pour rentrer, mais cette année le festival est étendu sur deux jours, ce qui devrait le rendre beaucoup plus agréable! C’est tellement chouette!

L’horaire de cette année est encore bien chargé avec des stands de bouffe à visiter et pleins de conférences et de démos culinaires pour en apprendre toujours plus! Il sera également possible de rencontrer différentes organisation de protection des animaux. Bref, une belle fin de semaine en perspective! Surtout que le festival est GRATUIT! On se voit sur place!

J’en profites aussi pour vous annoncer que je change l’horaire de publication des billets pour le blog. Parce que je veux vous offrir un contenu de qualité, mais que ca prend pas mal de temps à produire, je vais maintenant publier des articles le lundi, le mercredi et le vendredi. En passant, je suis déjà dans le mood de Noel alors préparez-vous!

 

 

Ottawa Veg Fest

Today we drove off to Ottawa to go to the Ottawa Veg Fest! We had already visited the Montreal’s vegan festival last fall. I really love vegan fairs because they are the perfect opportunity for me to discover new products and to stock up on my favourites at a discounted price. Last fall, I had revamped my spice stash for next to nothing.

Ottawa Veg Fest was a little bit smaller than Montreal’s. However, the location was more spacious and comfortable. We got to try out food from different local restaurants, and I have to say it was amazing! There seems to be a lot more going on in Ottawa and Gatineau in terms of vegan restaurants and bakeries.

Compared to Montreal’s fair, there were a lot more animal protection groups and associations than food products being presented. It was nice to see all these passionate people and to see what projects they were working on!

As for my find of the day: vegan marshmallows! I’m really excited to review these and to see how they compare to the traditional version. Rice-crispy treat here I come! Let me know what your town’s vegan fest is like or if you attended Ottawa’s veg fest!
