Milk is one of the easiest things to give up when switching to a plant-based diet. “But milk is in everything!” (I hear you say). And while milk is one of the most common ingredients found in just about every cuisine, it is also the easiest to swap out. There are endless varieties of vegan […]
The Internet is full of facts blown out of proportion and fake news, often backed by relatively convincing statistics. As the old saying goes: “There are three kinds of falsehoods: Lies, damned lies, and statistics.” A quick search on Google for ‘vegan statistics in 2022’ can lead you down a rabbit hole of disreputable sources, […]
They say that you can’t buy happiness…but you can buy cake. Moreover, at our plant-based bakery in Canada, you can buy vegan cake! And pastries and cookies and frangipane tart and cinnamon buns and gluten-free scones and banana bread and sourdough and doughnuts…and the list of vegan baked goods goes on. We thought it was […]
Let’s paint a picture. You pick up a cinnamon bun and are ready to sink your teeth into its soft, gooey goodness when you’re met with a dry, crunchy exterior and chalky icing—pure disappointment. Although everyone has different tastes, I think we can all agree on our expectations when ordering a cinnamon bun. There’s no […]
British Columbia has the highest population of vegans in Canada, so it’s no surprise that there’s a high demand for tasty, vegan treats. When you pop into a bakery, it can be difficult to know which items are vegan. Many baked goods contain eggs or dairy (especially butter), so vegans are often limited with their […]
Fall is all about the warmth of nutty, earthy and woody flavours. One bite that makes you envision curling up by a roaring fire, or a crisp walk in the woods with the red and orange leaves falling down around you. There is something about fall that just makes us want to throw on a […]
Whistler gets about 3 million visitors every year, and that’s not including the local residents that call Whistler home. The majority of people visiting this world-class ski town are here to hit the slopes in the winter or go hiking in the summer. That means they are going to build up quite the appetite. Luckily, […]
There’s just something about pizza. We can’t get enough of it here at our vegan bakery in Whistler, British Columbia (BC) and we’re always trialling new vegan pizza toppings to go on our sourdough pizza dough. But it’s not just us, most of Canada is pizza mad – there’s even a Canadian Pizza Magazine! The […]
You’ve made yourself a killer toasted sandwich using our tasty vegan toast topping ideas and you’re about to take a huge bite out of it when your friend walks in and asks: “Oh, is all bread plant-based then?” You stop and think about it for a second and then your heart sinks as you realise […]
You can’t bake without eggs, right? Here at BReD, we develop and bake egg-free recipes almost every single day! Over the years, we’ve experimented with various baked goods and tried and tested numerous vegan egg substitutes. Egg replacements are relatively simple to use but there is no ‘one substitute fits all’ for vegan baking. Therefore, […]
You wouldn’t eat contaminated food, right? Then it may shock you to know that that is exactly what the food industry (and even health professionals) is encouraging you to eat more of. In an age increasingly obsessed with cleanliness and the rise of antibacterial soap, it’s perhaps quite bizarre to witness the ascent of the […]
“You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy sourdough pizza dough (from BReD)” But what do you do when you realise you can no longer have meat and cheese on your pizza? This was the very question my younger self had to answer after deciding to go vegan. And so began my lifelong mission to […]
