Veg Food Fest 2015!

It’s that weekend again in Toronto – the 31st Annual Veg Food Fest is here! Due to my extreme excitement, I went to Harbourfront right after school today, and was one of the first to arrive and start eating. Although I didn’t have to wait in lines when I arrived, there were many things that are definitely worth waiting for at the Fest this weekend – hint, hint, Doug McNish’s Polenta Poutine tops that list!

Rain or shine, I encourage you to attend this weekend. It’s free and full of smiling faces, donuts, pizza, ice cream, poutine, burgers, pretzels, cookies, and coconuts – all vegan, all delicious, and so many organic choices.

I hope you enjoy my photo gallery and the items showcased – but there’s much more to try than what I’ve included! Enjoy Toronto’s Veg Food Fest!

My first stop, and not my last. Get Chef Doug McNish’s poutine with mushroom miso gravy and housemade cashew cheese curds. Trust me.

Live On Chocolate’s new Caramel Pecan Brownie is incredible – all raw, organic, and super rich!

Always great to see Richa from Good Food for Good – make sure to try her new Enchilada sauces. I brought her verde version home and highly recommend it.

Cheez Cake pops from Jillian at Wood and Water Foods. They have many flavours, but I shared a Mocha Caramel one with my mom and we were both VERY happy!

It might look small, but the Cheez Cake Pops are a perfect size!

Tori’s Bakeshop organic pretzels – a sweet one serving with a side of their icing, or savoury served with their housemade mustard for dipping!

I chose the savoury and salty soft pretzel from Tori’s – SO delicious. Their mild and tangy mustard sauce with a little bite hit the spot!

I just wrote a review on Pleasantville “better than ice cream” and it is. I went for dessert tonight with many friends and we all loved what Stephanie was serving, most notably, her show special edition, Double Trouble! It is chocolate ice cream with chocolate cookie chunks throughout, and it’s hemp based, nut-free, raw, and organic!

Look what’s coming to Canada! Field Roast’s new coconut-based Chao vegan slices. Melts like cheese, I suggest the tomato cayenne.

Sorry about this poor picture, but I must let you know that So Delicious has a fast-moving, long line to free ice cream – if you don’t have allergies to nuts, opt for their caramel cashew based ice cream.

Always great to see Francis from Yoso – they make the best coconut yogurt (and more)!

You’ve had nudfud raw crackers, right?

Went to Chef Doug McNish’s cooking demo on how to make a Tempeh Croquette, and although I now know how, I am not sure that I can emulate his cooking prowess, especially his impressive knife skills.

I love being with my family and friends outdoors eating good food!

You can spot Doug McNish’s kitchen in the World Cafe under the “organic” sign! Wait in this line for burgers, tostadas, kale caesar salad, poutine, and green smoothies! He also has his cookbooks and t-shirts!

New find this year! Chicza certified organic gum in plastic-free packaging. Try the lime flavour, it’s great.

Sweets from the Earth has SO many different choices, some gluten-free, some nut-free, all of them delicious. Try their Hello Dolly!

If you are looking for a school-safe, packaged snack, Made Good is a great choice. My whole family loves them.

Always look for ORGANIC!
