Savory Buns


The Delivery: Chana masala, Thai satay (not vegan), and herb-vegetable mélange (not vegan) buns by LifeStyle Chefs
Staff Pick: The chana masala bun

The DL: From what we can tell, LifeStyle Chefs has managed to reduce an entire Indian dish into a bite-sized bun—quite the feat! Packed full of chickpeas, tomatoes, and spices, these pocket-sized portables would fit right in at any picnic, and are a bit fancier than plain old peanut butter and jelly. We can’t wait to taste LifeStyle Chefs’ take on masala, the aromatic Indian spice blend that gives chana masala its pungent flavor. If you want to try your hand at masala-making, check out our guide to the spice by Hema Alur-Kundargi.

Yes We Can(ada)!


The Date: Thursday, September 1
The Delivery: A gift of Canadian goodies: garam masala from Arvinda's, dark chocolate from Theobroma Chocolat, organic maple butter from Canadian Heritage Organics, quinoa crisps from Your Fitness Dish, and tea from The Algonquin Tea Co.
Staff Pick: The organic maple butter!

The DL: This gift of Candian-made treats came from Lisa of Vegan Culinary Crusade and Nicole of A Dash of Compassion—both vegan, both wonderful, and both Canadian! We enjoyed their visit to the VNHQ yesterday, and will hopefully enjoy eating this maple butter. We're imagining it on pancakes, waffles, toast, apples...the world is our maple butter-covered vegan oyster! Wait, that sounds kind of gross.
