Snacks + Starters

My collection of simple and delicious recipes for vegan snacks and starters, including vegan spreads such as egg salad without eggs, which tastes so authentic that you don’t even notice that it’s vegan. The Austrian classic Liptauer is also represented here.

In addition, you will find finger food and appetizers here, such as these vegan pizza rolls, Bohemian potato pancakes, which taste just like in the well-known Viennese restaurant “Schweizerhaus”, falafel, which finally don’t fall apart when frying, on the contrary, they are wonderful. And I would also like to highlight the Greek spinach strudel “Spanakopita” at this point, a recipe with an addictive factor.
