C’est La Vegan

UPDATE:  Thanks so much to everyone who came out to help support the cause!  In addition to Doctors Without Borders, we’ll also be donating a portion of our sales to the organization FilterPure.  We learned about FilterPure from Ryan’s sister, Whitney, who personally knows the people who started this amazing organization.  Check them out if you [...]

I couldn’t think of a better way to end Vegan MoFo (and to celebrate Halloween at the same time) than with our beautiful cat, Maya!  I wanted to write about her for my last MoFo post because she had a lot to do with us going vegetarian. I think when you live with an animal, [...]

Next month (that would be tomorrow!) I’m going to be participating in Vegan MoFo III – the Vegan Month of Food.  Participating bloggers will attempt to post something every weekday for the month of October that relates to vegan food.  This is the first year that I’ve had a food blog for Vegan MoFo, and I’m [...]

Hey, guys!  If you love food, you’ll want to head to Long Beach for this event on October 9th.  The proceeds from ticket purchases to go Animal Acres, and you get to eat tons of amazing vegan food from lots of different vendors, including C’est La V Bakeshop!  We’re really excited to be a part [...]

I’m so excited to finally be able to announce that C’est La V Bakeshop will be providing desserts at the Animal Acres Gala on September 12th!  Animal Acres has a very special place in my heart, and I’ve really been looking forward to the Gala.  Unfortunately, due to the fires that are currently burning in [...]

I really, really, really love the Hollywood Bowl.  I’m ashamed to say that the first few years Ryan and I lived in LA we never went to the Bowl.  We were, of course, kicking ourselves when we finally did go and saw what we’d been missing.  What could make for a better summer night than [...]

Now for the best part of going to The Hollywood Bowl – the food!  It’s been a while since we’ve entertained or since I’ve cooked real food, so I was excited to try some new recipes.  I looked through Veganomicon because I hadn’t done that in a while, and tried to find some things that [...]

The next dish that I made for our Hollywood Bowl Picnic was the tempeh pate from the Native Foods Cookbook.  This is one of my favorite recipes, and I can’t even count how many times I’ve made this.  We’ve eaten it in Palm Springs wraps (Ryan’s favorite), I’ve baked it in puff pastry, served it [...]

I spend a ton of time baking, and when I bake for myself I like to try new things so it doesn’t just feel like work.  I wanted to make a fun and easy-to-eat dessert to bring to the Bowl, so I searched though all my recipes that I dream about having time to test.  [...]

I was really hoping for a reprieve after Worldfest, but things have been as busy as ever!  While I continue to recover, I thought I’d let you enjoy this beautiful photo (thanks, Ryan!) of yummy dairy-free chocolate sorbetto from the Gelato Bar.  This stuff is amazing.  It is super rich and chocolaty.  Gelato Bar isn’t [...]

Just a quick reminder that we’ll be at WorldFest tomorrow, and we won’t be at the Woodland Hills market on Topanga Canyon Boulevard today.  Tomorrow should be a really fun day, so please come check it out!  And be sure to bring your sweet tooth, because we’ll have a ton of stuff there to satisfy [...]

C’est La V is going to be at WorldFest!  I found out about this event at the Veggie Pride Parade and am super excited to be a part of it.  It sounds like it will be a really fun day filled with great food, music, and interesting speakers and exhibitors.
I’m personally excited about Lush being [...]
