It’s VeganMoFo again!
This year we have a different theme for each week. We’ve chosen a different food culture for every week and every day we try something new or tell you about our old favourites.
- Week one will be Northern Europe. We’ve blogged about Finnish food in Mofo 2011 and 2012, and now we expand to other Nordic countries.
- Week two will be Eastern Europe. They use a lot of meat and dairy, but we’ll veganize the recipes when needed.
- Week three will be Middle East. There’s so many delicious vegan/vegetarian dishes that this part of the world. Hummus and falafel anyone?
- Last week will be a little farther: Middle America (Mexico, Central America and Caribbean).
We have some cookbooks and zines to help us:
We also have a theme for each day of the week:
- Monday is a bread day. Breads, pies and other savoury baked things made of dough fall into this category.
- Tuesday is a salad day.
- Wednesday is a sweet day. Desserts, cakes, jam.. Anything sweet.
- Thursday is soup day.
- Friday is for snacks and party food.
- Saturday is for veganizing. We choose a dish that is normally heavy with meat, eggs and/or dairy and create a vegan version of it.
- Sunday is a free choice.
Happy mofoing everyone!

Glad to see I’m not the only Finn in the MoFo! Though you guys seem like really experienced in this and for me it’s the exciting first time. I especially love your takes on those old recipes – dill seitan is hanging on my todo list as well.
We’re equally glad to see another Finn in this year’s MoFo! Our first experience was a bit chaotic, so after that one we’ve always made at least a rough roadmap. The last years we’ve been able to make a post every day (well, apart from last year, but we got married in the middle of the MoFo, so I figure that’s a good enough excuse.)
Old recipes (and old cookbooks) are fascinating, and old cookbooks are always a great read, as they contain great down-to-earth and simple food, and usually from very plant-based ingredients. I’m so proud of the “Vegetarisk kokbok” from early 20th century I managed to find. 🙂
Great themes! I am looking especially looking forward to your Norhtern and Eastern European posts!
Loving the theme, I’ll keep stopping by for sure
