new vegan desserts at Rainbow Grocery

[Guest guest]

FYI: Bereket is already doing a ginger cake, which I've purchsed in SF. It's

not very gingery OR spicy, but a good stand-by. It's only their first

attempt, though. They tell me they are planning on doing beverages of some

kind soon, too.

 

The desserts mentioend from Sparks of Guerneville, like the banana bread,

zucchini/flax bread, chocolate macadamia cookies, scones, etc. are very

tasty but, unfortunately, not packaged properly, so they spoil quickly. (I

noticed the plastic wrap open on several items, because he isn't using

industry-standard wrap that sticks well and doesn't vacuum pack them.)

 

I had the banana bread last week and though it has great flavor, it was

constantly crumbling apart. These breads are normally moist and slice well.

This is not like the usual quality of his catered desserts (his chocolate

cheesecake is heaven, so I hope he'll distribute it, too), but I will

mention it to him. At least he's trying to get it out there - we can always

use more vegan desserts!

 

Speaking of vegan food....word is that Caffe Proust is going ALL VEGAN some

time in August. I'll probably be planning a dinner there that month, so look

for a posting!

[sFBAVeg] new vegan desserts at Rainbow Grocery-SF +

Sat, 27 Jul 2002 18:56:54 -0700 (PDT)

 

Sparks and Bereket are now offering vegan desserts.

 

They both offer banana cakes. Sparks charge $6+

(larger size), Bereket charges $5.

 

I had a Bereket banana chcolate cake made with: all

organic ingrediants, wheat

flour,water,rapadura,bananas,expeller pressed canola

oil,vinegar,vanilla,FAIR TRADE COCOA powder,baking

soda-non aluminum baking powder,sea salt.

 

I weighted the 14 oz cake,,, it was really 1.14 LB

WOW. It was fresh, moist and not too sweet. Hurry

and buy some before they really make it 14oz.

 

I highly recommend this cake. I heard one of the

owners want to do a spicy ginger cake. Anyone out

there crazy about it? I thought folks are usually

crazy about chocolate.

 

Well, now VIVA staff and others can buy this FAIR

TRADE Chocolate product.

 

Bereket also sells 4 kinds of organic sandwiches.

 

Another important news, Organic Cafe NO LONGER sells

their pastries products at Rainbow.

 

--

Reminder, at Rainbow, if you bring your own shopping

bags, you get 10 cents credit per bag, 5 cents for

produce/bulk bags. If you forget, (which most of us

usually forget), just grab a bag from the recycling

bin.
