vegans and vests

the scene is this: a lovely summer afternoon. four lovely friends congregate so that one of the aforementioned lovely friends can cook them all a delightful vegan feast. they are all wearing vests.

sound like an indie movie?
or a hippie collective?

yeah, okay. moving on.

maren (aforementioned cook who has her own fantastic and hilarious vegan blog which you should check out right now!) asked me to take pictures of all the food. of course, i agreed. i've been a little obsessed with food photography ever since spain. luckily, all the food was delicious (and photogenic, but i'll let you judge for yourself on that).

first things first: pureed kiwi smoothies! sprig of rosemary courtesy of maren's herb garden.

sundried tomatoes and sunflower seeds, ingredients for...

olive, tomato and sunflower seed tapenade! we drizzled balsamic reduction on the sides because we're artsy like that.

maren has cute kitchen decorations.

homegrown basil!

main event: portobello stackers! other ingredients include forbidden rice, tomatoes, spinach, onions, alfalfa sprouts and artsy balsamic dots.

and again from a different angle.
doesn't maren rock?
