Veg Food Fest 2015

TAKE ME BAAACCKK! 

It's been two weeks since Veg Food Fest and I can taste all of the food like it was yesterday. 

The above photo is of a selection of treats from Bloomer's. Oh Bloomer's, how I love thee! Best doughnuts in the city, I say. As does Caitlin and our mom. The texture is like a Krispie Kreme doughnut except with more substance to it. I always found Krispie Kreme to be too airy and like "Did I just eat a doughnut or a ring of air because I can't tell!?" PLUS Bloomer's must put a little nutmeg in the batter or something and it's just divine. The thing in the middle was an iced cookie sandwich with raspberry jam in the centre. Awesome as well! The cookies reminded me of lemon icebox-type cookies. The butter tart had raisins in it so I passed but the crust was nice.

It was a drizzly, cool weekend but the food was so good I hardly noticed. It looks really dead here but it was pretty busy considering the weather. I took this near the end of the day on Sunday (the festival runs from Friday to Sunday).

Govinda's is someplace we've always wanted to try but just never have. The samosa, malai kofta, and green curry were mmm-mmm good. The coleslaw and eggplant and potatoes were my least favourite on the plate. I'm so glad we finally got to try Govinda's!

Doug McNish is an amazing chef! He was at the Vegan Food and Drink Festival as well. On the left is a Raw Tostada and it's one of the best things I've eaten. Packed with flavour. On the right is the Polenta Poutine, it is seriously awe-inspiring. Those polenta "fries" were so crispy and delicious. The gravy is sparse here but SO good. 

This dish was just KILLER. My favourite meal of the day. It's from Ital Vital. The soy chunks were coated with the best sweet BBQ sauce. I have a serious craving for this now.

The quesadilla and kebobs are from King's Cafe - thumbs up!

Vital Life soooo good! Caitlin says that the soy curls taste like cinnamon buns. I could literally eat a plate of just the soy curls! They were almost candied or something. The rice and greens were yummy as well. 

Goodies from Sweets from the Earth. Swoon! Here is a S'mores Cookie and Blueberry Cake. The cookie was chewy and gooey and just everything you would want a s'mores cookie to be. We were so pleasantly surprised by the blueberry cake! It was the lightest, fluffiest cake that was slightly spongey in the best way possible. The blueberry sauce on top was nice and slightly sweet.

I had such a good time at Veg Food Fest 2015 and I know my belly was stoked about it, too. I'm so thankful that we have such a great festival here in Toronto. We now have plenty more places to check out to get our vegan eat on!
