In this episode, I share a personal story about my food obsessed Brazilian grandfather, his time in Germany, and the strong imprint German food and culture left on our family.

You’ll hear about:

  • The only German I ever heard him speak (ahem...sing!)

  • The traditional dish he loved that my mom and I could never quite get behind

  • The German platter my mom created to make us all happy

  • How I now recreate that platter with vegan ingredients

  • Making vegan sausages braised in beer and the two must-have sides to go with them

  • Two vegan potato salad recipes perfect for picnic and barbecue season

Watch me making both versions below!

 



This episode is also a reminder that plant-based cooking can be rooted in memory, family history and culture. It’s one of the things we love exploring in our online vegan cooking school: how to take the foods you know and make them work beautifully for the way you eat now.
