3.10.07 Summer memories

I was in Krakow,Poland in last summer holiday. That 3 days trip was my birthday gift for my parents and I have great time in there.. Lots of beautifull, old buildings and nice museums which I visited. And lovely atmosphere and also..Nice and CHEAP vegetarian restaurants, which also have many vegan options on their menus.

I have this sorbet in one nice, little cafe middle in green park in Krakows centrum. We visited in this cosy cafe couple of times and everytime i ordered wonderfull (and cheap) vegan sorbet portion, with lots of fresh berries! And they make also that funny serving as you can see ;)

And this is ONE of my birthday caces(It was so Good!) which i was bake in my birthday parties in August. There was also lovely chocolate truffle cace(see my resent bloggins..) and berry tofu-icing, vegan cinnamonrolls and lots of other little and bigger vegan treats.. Everyone of my guests liked it!

..And one photo of great summer salad and there is also my beand spread and marinated carrots, with carlig vegan margarine and soy yughurt sause and tasty baguettes and homemade buns(including carrot and herbs+ sundried tomatose, made with wolewheat spelt and rye flours!). The main course (which I don`t have picture, sorry!) was lentill Goulash served with brown rice. That combination works! I have nice parties..With nice sunny weather.
