Hippie-Deluxe BarCamp Vancouver Food
After a night that was way too long (and with a good chunk of help from Dan, Elizabeth and Mandy - thanks folks!), we now have hippie-deluxe (and I don't mean that in a pejorative way) vegan allergy-sensitive food for BarCamp Vancouver.
Hippie-deluxe, in this case, means organic ingredients from local farmers (within a day's drive).
Allergy sensitive means that all of the ingredients are carefully labeled, I was careful to avoid cross-contamination between dishes and I avoided most of the major allergy items (dairy, gluten, ground nuts, tree nuts, seafood, shellfish, wheat). One dish has soy, but it is clearly labeled.
I really just made two things - potato-based dips and a salad.
The dips were:
- Caramelized onion, golden plums, hemp oil, fresh sage and sea salt.
- Boiled potato, caramelized garlic, fresh thyme and sea salt.
- Boiled potato, spinach, fresh oregano and sea salt.
- Roasted eggplant, boiled potato, smoked tofu (?!?), braised fennel, hemp oil, thyme and sea salt.
The salad was:
- Broccoli
- Tomato
- Roasted potato
- Golden plums
- Shitake mushrooms
- Fresh fennel
- Hemp oil
- Garlic
- Fresh thyme
- Sea salt
The salad was served in savoy cabbage leaves, while the dips were served with roasted red potatoes for dipping and were put on a bed of kale leaves.
I don't have a picture yet, but I'm sure that some will make their way to Flickr.
