Everything that went right and wrong in Birmingham @freefromevents 🥹👇

It was our first time out of London and we were scared like crazy to drive and prepare everything. We knew we had some audience there, but we had no idea how many people would actually show up 🫣

We pre-baked some of our pastries in London so they could survive the long journey and brought our own fridge and oven with us too. I was finishing the baking on site, as well as making creams, so people were actually getting freshly finished pastries 👩‍🍳
I’m still not sure whether this was a genius idea or a horrendous one, considering how busy it got… but it worked.

And then Saturday happened…

We sold out of ALL our products for that day. We ran out of ALL the boxes and packaging. The queue was going across the field. It was honestly crazy 🤪

I’m so, so grateful to every single person who came to see us, try our pastries and wait in those huge queues throughout the day. It was probably one of the most unreal experiences we’ve had recently, and I really hope you enjoyed your pastries as much as we enjoyed making them for you ❤️

Also, remember when we said in our last post that we were definitely going to forget something?
We didn’t 💅

But we did miscalculate how many boxes we needed, so we ran out on the first day. Thank God for amazing @poets_bakery and @fakerycakery for lending us their boxes so we could actually serve everyone. Otherwise, I genuinely don’t know what we would’ve done - probably would hand out pastries straight into people’s hands 😂

Another huge thank you to Margarita, Morgan and the whole team. You were some of the first people to believe in us. When we were scared that we were too small and wouldn’t be ready to do such a big festival, you encouraged us to go for it and believed that we could!

And I guess the moral of the story is: sometimes you just have to take a chance, and you might grow 🌸

And now the big question…
Should we go to Manchester Free From? 👀 #glutenfreeuk #veganuk #freefrom #dairyfree #veganglutenfree

We have just five days left of summer before hoa hoa season begins ☀️🍂

So let’s try some desserts together that will prolong that summer feeling and make you feel like you’re on vacation -  sitting on a beach, eating fresh fruit, drinking coconut water and getting ready for a refreshing swim 🌊

First, NoDrama Lisi 🍋 - a lemon-shaped dessert with our handmade lemon filling made from caramelized lemons. It’s sour, refreshing, and it’s giving Italy 🤭

Then we have Mora Mango 🐚 - a shell-shaped dessert with pina colada flavour and a little raspberry truffle pearl. It’s creative, sweet, and pinterest-coded 🌴🍍

And last but definitely not least, one of my favourite summer eclairs - with smooth mango cream and a little passion fruit compote that tastes like the ripest mangoes you can find 🥭 

All desserts are plant-based and gluten-free! ❤️🌍🌱

Who wants a part two? Let us know in the comments which dessert you like the most! 💖🌸 #plantbaseddessert #glutenfreedessert #veganlondon #glutenfreelondon #desserts

From 2pm, our DJ will be bringing the music and setting the mood for a proper Kyiv terrace. Expect good vibes, good people and a little piece of Ukraine in London.

Come for the food, stay for the music, browse the market, grab a drink - and most importantly, help us raise money for Ukraine!

Раді бути частиною проєкту @opora.ukraine до Дня незалежності «Україна на смак» 🇺🇦 Продовжуємо цю особливу традицію новим рецептом: сьогодні представляємо Вергуни двома способами 

У моїй родині вергуни завжди готували з горілкою: не такі пухкі, зате хрусткі й крихкі. А в багатьох моїх друзів вдома їх робили на кефірі або йогурті: м’якші, пухкіші, схожі на маленькі пончики.
Залишаю два варіанти — обирайте, які нагадують вергуни з дитинства 🤍

ХРУСТКІ ВЕРГУНИ З ГОРІЛКОЮ

Інгредієнти:
300 г борошна
120–140 мл води
30 мл горілки
25 г цукру
20 г олії
дрібка солі
1/2 ч. л. соди
1 ч. л. лимонного соку або оцту
олія для смаження
цукрова пудра

Змішати воду, горілку, цукор, сіль та олію. Додати соду з лимонним соком, поступово всипати борошно й замісити щільне еластичне тісто.
Накрити й залишити на 20–30 хвилин.
Розкачати дуже тонко (1–2 мм). Нарізати смужками або ромбиками, зробити надріз посередині й протягнути край тіста через нього.
Смажити в розігрітій олії до золотистого кольору, по кілька секунд з кожного боку.
Викласти на паперовий рушник і присипати цукровою пудрою.

ПУХКІ ВЕРГУНИ НА ЙОГУРТІ

Інгредієнти:
300 г борошна
180 г йогурту або кефіру
30 г цукру
20 г олії
1/2 ч. л. соди
дрібка солі
ваніль за бажанням
олія для смаження
цукрова пудра

Змішати йогурт, цукор, сіль та олію. Додати соду, перемішати, залишити на пару хвилин.
Поступово додати борошно, не забиваючи тісто. Залишити відпочити на 20 хвилин.
Розкачати трохи товстіше (4–5 мм). Нарізати, сформувати й смажити в гарячій олії до золотистого кольору.
Перекласти на рушник і присипати пудрою. Ці вергуни виходять значно пухкішими, м’якшими всередині й менш хрусткими.

І тепер мені цікаво: а у вас вдома вергуни робили на горілці чи на кефірі? Бо мені здається, тут Україна ділиться на два табори 😂
