The lowly zucchini (or courgette, depending on your linguistic bent) doesn’t usually get much limelight or fanfare in the social media kitchen, but look — a whole post devoted to the fashionista zucchini. Here it is, gussied up with herbs, bell peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and a secret recipe filling. Bet you didn’t even recognize it!
(These first three pictures were taken after the poor zucchini rolls were carted around in a backpack for hours in summer heat until picnic time, but the last two were shot today in a more optimal state.)
A friend in Porto is the creator of these edible works of art. She specializes in raw vegan gluten-free food that is also free of soy, corn, rice, and sugar. I’ve been eating the zucchini rolls, buckwheat crackers, and seed pâtés on several occasions now, and also sampled the vegan ice cream and the spicy fig truffles. Everything I’ve tried has been very flavourful, which is always at the top of anyone’s mind once anything ___-free is mentioned.
Check out the website to find out more about the ingredients, the nutrition behind the food, the wide variety of food available to a raw vegan gluten-free diet, and where to find it in Porto (or order it):
