Vegan Cake

Basically, there are many reasons what speak for a vegan diet. Not only the ethical motives are reasons but also the health aspect and the desire for a more environmentally sustainable lifestyle. Plant foods not only taste delicious, they are also healthier. Vegans have fewer diseases  and live with less saturated fat and cholesterol.

This and more I experienced at Melanie and Siegfried Kröpfl’s show yesterday in Wels. I’m really surprised about vegan food, because you can basically cook everything vegan!
