Stopped for a quick snack at @tribeorganic in between appointments in Beijing. Tasty gluten-free pumpkin cake with a matcha latte, (my go-to drink since giving up coffee last month!) I hope to blog more about gluten-free/allergy-friendly finds in China soon. Beijingers any places you recommend? . . . . . . . . #tribeorganic #breadandlily #beijing #beijingglutenfree #glutenfree #glutenfreeeats #dairyfree #matcha #matchalatte #afternoontea #snack #healthysnacks #coffeefree #glutenfreechina #glutenfreeasia #glutenfreebeijing #beijingfood #beijinglife

Cleansing veggie soup 🍲 (recipe below ⤵️) In Beijing it’s been a week of big dinner parties + Netflixing and junk-food munching thanks to the Chinese New Year break. This super simple & light soup is perfect for transitioning back to work, and giving our tummies a break. (It’s also one of my boyfriend J’s favourites!) The butternut and carrot give it a slight sweetness, and the ginger a subtle zing: - Chop into small pieces/cubes: 1 head of broccoli, 2 carrots, 1 sweet potato, approx. 300g butternut squash, 3 stalks of celery, 4-inch knob of ginger (this can also be grated) - Combine vegetables in pot, pour over 1.5 litres of water & stir in 1 tbs of vegetable stock powder , salt and pepper to taste (about 1/4-1/2 tsp each) - Bring to boil, stir, then simmer for about an hour - Ready when the butternut starts to dissolve into the soup. Add extra salt or pepper if needed. Enjoy! . . . . . . #weekendcooking #vegan #veganfood #vegetablesoup #veganrecipes #vegetarian #soup #breadandlily #plantbased #beijing #foodblogger #glutenfree #glutenfreevegan #healthyfood #saturday #lightdinner
