To be a vegan in Sweden
And I found, as I researched the local Vegan community, that Sweden is in fact way more vegan-friendly than I thought. So, here’s my tour of Swedish vegan food bloggers for a taster on what the local community is cooking up.
Let’s start with some soup. It’s Nordic Europe, after all. And warm soup is a must-have. Like this creamy-cauliflower soup.
But because I am overwhelmed with the beauty of the vegan recipes recipes I found in the Swedish IG-sphere, I’m not going to do things by turn. So, after soup, here’s a sweet desert – a vegan chocolate cheesecake.
To warm up the tummy here’s a hearty lentil dish. Stunning. As the image suggests, a red wine is a perfect companion. Dinner maybe?
You’d think Swedes wouldn’t be big on Mexican. But you’d be wrong. Swedes love to experiment with new tastes. And old, classic ones like this vegan enchilada dish.
And seriously, this carrot soup. So simple. And so beautiful. Check out the recipe below.
Nothing is more Swedish than meatballs. And this vegan take on vegan meatballs is delishious.
In Sweden, this is known as the Umami bomb. By God, I would eat this. It’s pure foodporn from Malmo.
On a Saturday lunch, nothing makes me happier than some vegan steaks with roast potatoes. And this Swedish vegan dish would fit the bill. Check out the recipe below.
Like I said, Swedes love to get creative with taste. And this snack is an example. Bao Buns with Teriyaki Jack Fruit! Jack fruit is a very good herbal alternative to pulled pork, available in several flavors.
No doubt soup is big in Sweden. For obvious reasons. And this Finish vegan food blogger in Sweden likes to dress up classic recipes.
Unlike Austria and Denmark, I found Swedish vegan food to lean more towards the savoury. But there’s still a lot of sweetness in in the plant-based Swedish kitchen. And this raw swedish princess cake layered with vegan nut buttercream is a perfect example.
Finally, to end this journey into the Swedish vegan kitchen, I chose Vegan nutella tortillas. And why shouldn’t I?
