Social Bites is this really neat little project in Vancouver – basically, you buy a ticket and then walk around a Vancouver neighbourhood visiting the homes of local hobby chefs who feed and water you. Annika, the brilliant woman behind this underground foodie scene concept, has decided to hold a vegan Social Bites – and Kaylie and I are going to be a part of it.
Unfortunately, the sixteen available tickets to this vegan Social Bites event sold out in less than an hour, so I can’t even pester you guys to buy tickets… but I can show you the menu. Here’s the list of hobby chefs and dishes for the vegan event. I’m so excited to be a part of this!
When we applied with our dish description, Annika replied and told us that because Kaylie is a professional chef, she doesn’t quite fit in to the “hobby chef” category – so that means that I am the chef for this event. I’m so darn excited. We’re making root vegetable ravioli (I’m going to make the pasta myself) with a mushroom cream and olive tapenade. Delicious.
Kaylie and I went for drinks tonight with the other vegan hobby chefs for the event and we found a lot of enthusiasm for vegan foodie events around Vancouver. I hope that we can continue with this momentum and help to create a thriving vegan food scene in our city.

I wish I could be one of the hobby chefs. If this happens again I want to do it!
