For the past two years, I’ve posted a bunch of kind takeout menus from vegan-friendly caterers in the Los Angeles area. Here is this year’s updated edition!
I have been using Kristina Brindley’s Seedling Catering for a while, and they are great. They also helped with my book launch party!
They have so many amazing dishes right now that would be perfect for Thanksgiving. Check out how great these sound:
- Zinnia – Ripe plantain fritters stuffed with cashew cheese
- Orchis – Potato blini with eggplant “caviar”
- Salad of black mission figs, roasted red pepper and fennel
- Squash, Fennel and Apple Soup – a sweet blend of squash and apple with a little accent of fennel
- Seedling Galette – seasonal apples, pears or a delightful combination of both on a flaky baked crust.
You can see the menu here and email Kristina to place an order.
