They slowly became vegan over the years, after me, my husband and my sister went vegan in 2015. I’m so proud of them for learning from their children 🥹

So here are a few of their favorite meals I cooked the last 2 weeks. We live 5000 km apart and they came to help me build my terrace 😍

  • chickpeas and potatoes vegan omelette for breakfast 😍 with chia pudding and fruits

  • grilled zucchini and zaatar salad with quinoa, grilled chickpeas, peaches… this recipe is here but I added the peaches ! https://elinestable.com/recipes/warm-zucchini-salad-with-zaatar

  • yellow plum crumble for dessert 🥰 I used this recipe but substitute the apricots for the plums : https://elinestable.com/recipes/apricot-apple-and-almond-crumble

  • vegan custard tart, their absolute favorite

  • a zucchini quiche

  • a burgers night with beyond meat steaks !

  • grilled veggies lasagna, with roasted eggplant and zucchini (you can tell I have lots of zucchinis in my garden right now 😅) and grated tofu

  • and a typical lunch while building the terrace, we didn’t have time to cook during the day so we just ate outside some salads, veggies, spreads like hummus and muhammara, smoked tofu, sourdough bread…

    18 year vegan here, and can I just say…Wow!?

    This was a very thoughtful, well-planned out menu! I’m sure they appreciated it! It all looks restaurant quality!

    Nice way to make them feel at home. Well done!

    Cuisine this beautifully presented will entice anyone to go vegan! We did it backwards. We got our adult kids to consider veganism, and we also got them to taste delicious foods we created and I kept stressing that one doesn’t have to kill animals to eat great foods and be healthy and satisfied. The satisfied part is the hardest because our society is obsessed with cheese and umami flavors from meats. But beautiful and delicious dishes like what you presented is definitely a way to go.

    Hi OP! I’m available for adoption to a good vegan home 🤭 I will spoil you and your pets, and help out with whatever you need.

    Jokes apart, those dishes look fabulous! I’m so proud of you! ❤️❤️❤️
