Looking for vegans all over the world
Hi,
I am Kathi from Berlin/Germany. For the year 2012 I have a very special wish: I want to meet as much vegans as possible from all over the world. However, it should be at least 50 persons. 50 vegans from 50 different countries all over the world.
Actually, I don´t want to meet them for a little chat about veganism only. No! I would like to dedicate myself to one of my favorite pastimes – eating! More precisely, I want to cook with every single one of those 50 vegans. Vegan of course! We´ll cook the favorite dish of each respective vegan, ideally with a culinary reference to the country from which he or she comes. I´m looking forward to 50 delicious, international, vegan dishes and I´m going to tell you everything about them! My blog: http://veganinternational.wordpress.com/
Actually, I need support to fulfill this task. If you´re a vegan who would like to meet me and cook with me – let me know where you´re from and where you are now. If you´re in Berlin – great! We´ll meet in no time. If you´re in another country, that´s ok – let´s talk about how we can get together this year.
Bon appetit!
Hi kathi,
Ich bin Ritz.
I'm an Indian living in Singapore, and I have a similar thought, but I didn't have a deadline like 2012.
It wud be gud 2 see u - if u r travelling around SE Asia, den do surf at my place.
It' a pity that if I go out to have food - I rarely get a vegan meal, I appreciate ppl like u - and I'm also a vegan.

Wow! What an amazing idea Kathi! I'm American, living in Colorado. If you can get out here I'd love to host you and hang out. Let me know if you can make it happen, I'll be here :)
Hi Ritz and Leah, thank you! Would be glad to meet up with you! Let´s keep in touch! The year has just begun and I´m planing my trips around the vegan world depending on people like you who would like to support this challenge! :)

Great!!
Feel free to add me on facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100000297078440) or skype (Bijou1946) and we can keep in touch! (or we could become friends on here, either method works) I hope this works out for you! Im planning a similar trip for the spring of 2013 hopefully...
Leah
Another vegan from america. Traveling around asia now though if you're in yhe area hit me up!
you wont have a problem finding vegans in thailand or indonesia because there's a lot of vegan restaurants
Hey Conner! How long will you be in Thailand? I hope to be in the area end of May/beg of June. You still around to show me some of this delicious cuisine?
Happy New Year!
I have just arrived back from Berlin today after a 20 hour coach journey to London.
I'll be back to Berlin for a couple of weeks in April so we should cook! I would like to share my favourite recipe with you. It's something typically British with a vegan twist.
I'm sure you are going to find this challenge easy and tasty, good luck!

Hi Katharina,
This is Mohammad, from Iran. I am veg for about 3-4 years and vegan for about 2.
I also run a vegan restaurant here :)
Would love to cook something with you in Iran. I have around 50 vegan friends here...
They would love to meet you too.

Hi Katharina!
I'm Haris, a Greek vegan (it is not a joke) living in Athens, Greece.
I invite you to come to Greece next summer to travel together tasting and cooking traditional or my own inspiration vegan dishes. You will try more than 50 dishes. All of them are simple because a vegan has to save the earth’s resources.
Haris
Ciao kathi!!
Let's cook in Rome!!! we can experiment raw vegan food!!!
see you soon!! :)
Pier
Huhu Kathi
Youre welcome to make a stop at our place. Were living in Switzerland in the german/austrian/swiss border.
And of course you should eat a vegan fondue with us.
Otherwise we come to berlin and buy all the stuff from veganz :)
Just drop me some lines if need help to plan your tour around the lake constance.
Cheers Marc
Holla Kathie,
my already written answer seems to have slipped away, so I´ll give it a new try.
If your path leads you to beautiful Freiburg in the Black Forest lets cook together with my wonderful girlfriend, she gave me the inspiration to try to live more and more vegan after becoming vegetarian and she is the best vegan you can ever imaging, she knows everything and behaves in the kindest way consequently! It´s not so difficult with the "big" things like milk, cheese, eggs, honey or leather, but it´s almost a science about all the small and smaller hidden ingredients!
If you like I can even organize a kitchen and we can invite people. Private or public including our neighbours from Switzerland. We can inform our newspaper, we can make it bigger or smaller - you see, sometimes I like projects and I like yours!
Lets go vegan more in Freiburg, even if it is called Green City it´s not so bright at this time.
Let me know your coming early enough Dear!
Amina
Hi Amina,
Thank you very much for your message but I´m looking for vegans all over the world except Germany as I am german myself!
Cute cat by the way - I foster cats who are looking for a new home! I just love them! :)
Kathi

Kathi
Hi Kathi,
Another expat vegan here in Kuwait! Would love to meet up if you make it to the region.
Hi Darcy, hi Milan,
thank you very much for your offer to cook with me! I really hope I can make it and I will definately let you know if I´m going to travel to your country!
Kathi
Hi Kathi,
I will cycling from Exeter (Devon, UK) to Italy in May 2012. I can a special stop in Berlin and cook with you!! if you are not available then can to Exeter!!
Ines
Okay I got England, Russia, Canada, America and Belgium so far! Still lots to do! Who else is planning to go to Berlin this year? ;)
I´m going to travel to Costa Rica in April until the beginning of may! Maybe someone of you is there too? Let me know if you would like to meet up and cook with me! :) I´m staying with some friends of me but planning to travel too!
Have a good week all of you! :)
Kathi
Hi Kathi,
if you find yourself in the UK and fancy a visit to Somerset my partner and I would love to host you and cook something vegan. My mother has been a vegan for over 30 years and I have been for most of my life, my partner is a lifelong vegetarian and has recently given up dairy after discovering about the processes used. I myself am a bit hit and miss in the kitchen but my partner is very inventive.
Best of luck with your plans :)

:DDDD Another good long laugh this evening! And to answer your question - I think it wasn´t pretty ethical if you would ask Nina! She is still very sad about her "loss"! ;)
@Louise & David: Would be glad to meet you two! Maybe we could do an UK cooking evening all together. I just had a canadian one wich turned out pretty good! :)
Hi Katharina!!!
I'm Chinese living at US now, but will be back soon!
I'm vegetarian in US now, but I prefer the vegan life in China though.
You should come to visit China. There are more more more vegan than you imagine. And the food is so great! :D
My best friend and I will be more than happy to have you around!

@David: thanks, great idea - have to check it out!
@Chris: don´t worry about the fondue! I think we could veganise it easily! There are some vegan cheeze fondues in the shops already although I didn´t check them out yet. But maybe we should together! Are you planning on coming to Berlin this year?

Hi Kathi,
Looking forward to meeting u here or maybe while travelling..

You're most welcome to come join our vegan crew in Southern Sweden, at any time you like, for (for example) some Ital stew Swedish style with red beetroot and sunflower seeds. :)
if you ever come over here and I'm not home, I can point you in the right directions, like some good vegan friends of mine or to Glassfabriken (to my knowledge the only all-vegan café in southern Sweden)
Peace!
Olle/(A)utumn
Great idea! I am an Israeli who lives in Belgium now, even thought to visit Berlin.. by the way Israeli vegan food that is recommended is THINA from Sesame.
Hey,
That sounds delicious!! I love sesame! If you´re coming to Berlin let me know!! :)
Looking forward to meet you!
Kathi
Thank you Olle,
I definately let you know if I´m coming to Sweden! :)

asia
Hi Kathi,
This is such an amazing idea!
I've been vegan for almost ten years now, and I would love to be part of this project. I (unfortunately) live in Canada, but my father is Greek, so can we make this work? :)
I swear I cook the best briami (greek ratatouille).
And best of all, I will be in Germany in May and June. (Köln, Freiburg and Stuttgart)
Let me know!
Marie-Solenne
Hi Kathi, we are a vegan couple and have opened the first raw, vegan and organic place in Cusco, Peru. PRANA raw food bar: http://www.facebook.com/Prana.raw
If you come around South America, you are welcome to come and prepare some great dishes with us!
Hey everyone above,
thank you all! I hope I actually can cook with the most of you! Sorry for my delay in replying! Costa Rica keeps me busy although it´s kind of hard to find a vegan Tico who would like to cook with me! But a few days are left and I am positive! :)
When I get back to Berlin I´m going to make the next travel plan! Not sure yet where I´m starting but it will be Europe for now! If I´m coming to a cuntry of any of you I definately let you know!
Thank you all! :) Cooking vegan international is awesome and it´s quite fun to meet up to cook and I´m learning so much!
Sending you a lot of sunshine from vegan wonderland Costa Rica! :)
Kathi
Hey Pedro,
I saw your message...I'm a vegan and I ever dreamed to see Peru. So my question now: Are you hosting or just surfing?
Kind greetings from germany

Jazmín aus Chile!
I'll be in Berlin in mid August, visiting a friend, for about two weeks.
I'd love to meet up and cook something, although I guess we would have to do it in your place, since I don't think it's proper to invite people over your host's home :)
I will think about something Chilean to cook, but sadly the Chilean Vegan staples I can think of use fresh ingredients that for the most part can only be found here, but I guess we could try to cook sth anyway, and I'd love to learn how to cook sth German that I can the cook back when I'm in Chile for other vegans.
Let's keep in touch!!
You can add me on FB, but send me a message saying it's you, just in case
www.facebook.com/jazmin.vegana
Bis bald!
Jazmín
@Marcello: Italian vegan is a must in my project! Would be great to cook with you!
@Jazmín: Awesome! I would love to cook something chilean!! If you tell me what we would need I could try and order the ingredients! Like tropical fruits or anything else you´re thinking of! I just have to know some time before you´re coming to Berlin! Or maybe you could bring sth. with you! I brought some delicious things to Germany from Costa Rica today and it was no problem at all! :) Just let me know! We will work it out! And German cooking should be no problem as well! ;)

Hi, Kathi
I'm Eduardo from Turin/Italy. So, the things I love to do in my life, the kitchen is the best! Vegan of course!
I live in Turin, but if you organize a veganfestival in Berlin, I'll be happy to cook for you. The food unites people, not cruel of course! In Italy we have a good professional school of vegan cuisine. The sanagola of Milan.
http://www.lasanagola.com
If you go here, do not forget to go to them. I studied in this school.
But if you visit the beautiful Turin, my couch is available. Libera, my dog, will happily play with us.
ciao ciao Eduardo
Hi Kathi...
Your wish for 2012 sound fantastic...
If you come to Israel (I saw you have few invitations already... then I think you should come!) - I will be nice meeting you.
In our home we cook mostly Indian and Ladakhi (Tibetan) food (all vegan, of course) and also many sweets... cakes, cookies, perlins and more...
We (me and my boyfriend) actually planning to visit Berlin, hopefully this year, so if we will come - it will be nice meeting you!
In the mean time - send a nice recipe :)
Have a great journey,
Dana*

Hey,
I am an Iranian vegan, living in Finland. You are very welcome to be my guest in Tampere and have some delicious Persian vegan dishes :)
Good idea!
I'm in Paris and will be in Berlin this automn I hope.
I invite you for a vegan meal in Riga, Latvia. The offer is on from October 2012 due to renovation going in the kitchen, flat and life :)
Okay, so far I got America, Belgium, Canada, China, Costa Rica, England, Pakistan, Poland, Russia and Finnland. (And I´m planning to cook with Belarus and Peru in the next two weeks) :)
Still lot´s to do and I´m thinking about some Skype-cooking-meetings to catch up. Who would like to join me? ;)
Hey. A vegan from the Czech Republic at your service here! :) I can provide various info about veganism in our country in general. Feel free to get in touch and the best of luck with your project. Also, there are some useful links on my profile as far as Czech vegans are concerned on CS.
Hi Kathi! your idea sounds great! I'm doing more or less the same thing in Central America :)
I'm italian, living in Guatemala and Ill hitchhike soon down to Colombia, looking for CSers to stay with and cook vegan food together (if you know any tell me, they're not many!)
I also opened a website for vegan cooks, targeting mainly spanish speakers. My idea is to create an international network, and hopefully organize an international meeting in some country in south america, for example Colombia in 2013. The direction of the website is http://cocinerosveganossinfronteras.wordpress.com (vegan cooks without borders ;)
If you ever come to Colombia you're invited to play with me in the kitchen!
