I don't have any suggestions for Whistler because I never go there, sorry. As for Vancouver, hm. I don't usually go to strictly vegan restaurants (or eat out a ton) but I like Foundation, and also Wild Rice (which has vegan options). There are some raw food places like Organic Lives if you're interested in that. There are lots of neat restaurants on Commercial (not sure where you'll be staying though). I think I'd make a terrible tour guide because I don't know what to suggest! People usually check out Whistler, maybe Grouse Mountain (though it's expensive to go up the gondola), Stanley Park, Vancouver Aquarium, Science World, Top of Vancouver, Capilano Suspension Bridge. You can walk from the Olympic Village to Science World and check all that area out. Walk around Yaletown, downtown, Kitsilano, West 4th. Sorry wish I could be more helpful! If there's something specific you want to do I can try to think of something. Hope you have a good trip here. :)<br /><br />Emma: Those look really good! I love that they use whole wheat flour for the dough.eatme_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215952987234403681.post-33677624919437567742012-01-20T13:48:12.396-08:002012-01-20T13:48:12.396-08:00Now this sounds exciting!

Maybe I'll make the filling and eat it over rice, since I'm feeling a bit too lazy to deal with pastry tonight.Hannahhttp://www.bittersweetblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215952987234403681.post-16163062713371456422012-01-20T13:36:52.513-08:002012-01-20T13:36:52.513-08:00These look delicious.

I made these "Cornish pasties" http://dumbledoresveganarmy.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/cornish-pasties/ last week and they were fab.

I love those empanadas! I made the seitan and the dough roughs the day before, so it made preparation so much easier. <br /><br />I'm going to be in the Vancouver/Whistler area in April. Do you have any vegan restaurant recommendations or suggestions for tourist activities?and_i_sayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721406982968075506noreply@blogger.com
