Cafe Kino didn't have any last time I was in there. They said it was to do with the supplier. What a gutter. Looks like there is a big gap in the market. I think you could do well at a vegan fayre with a table overflowing with just vegan croissants!

There's a recipe for them in the book "Vegan" by Tony Bishop (hope i got that right). Haven't tried making them but can PM you the recipe if you don't have it. Over here in Italy I've found a company that makes vegan croissants!!! Couldn't believe they were vegan - had to read the ingredients over and over to be sure :cool:
I used to miss croissants when I first went vegan. I never got hold of any. Once I even tried making some and was told they were nice buns.
heh heh..are you sure whoever told you that was talking about the croissants? ;)Quote:

I'll probably make them sooo badly but it's worth a try!
It's called Misura and the croissants are called Privolat. Disgusting sounding name, I know, but they are vegan. Contain no milk or eggs. Where are you in Italy, Piggy?Quote:

i've got recipes for vegan croissants, but apparently making them is really hard (whether they are vegan or not), cos you need to build them & it takes time (and i mess up the most easy recipes anyway).
i asked at my local wholefood store (they sell regular croissants & we got into a discussion about it) & they had never even heard of vegan croissants. no chance of me buying any then..oh well :(
Can send you some if you like... :)
I bet there are lots of legume dishes in restaurants.. are there? When I went to Calabria I had this awesome pasta dish with chickpeas and rosemary in a tomato sauce. And starter dishes of artichokes and olives the size of boats.... *mmmmmmm*
southern italy is great for veggies! at least, it's better than the north..:)
chickpea soup is popular around here, and so's pasta with beans, peas, lentils or chickpeas..
most likely in restaurants would be the chickpeas though..
Sweet & Sara make the best vegan croissants - stuffed with chocolate! Had them at our friend's vegan wedding in NYC!

For folks in the US you can find vegan croissants in Safeway! Go to their bakery section and look through the boxed stuff they bake themselves. Important to note: their standard croissants are not vegan, but their MINI croissants are! Not sure why the difference in recipe, but we're thankful for it. These "mini" croissants are still roughly 4-5" long and 3" wide so just fine for a Tofurkey or avocado or Chocoreale sandwich!
No way! I'm in Canada, but will check at the Safeway here, to see if it's the same situation. Thanks! :D
This is all too cruel! Surely there must be some I can get in the UK!
^ What's wrong with the Sara Lee ones that Tesco sell?? :confused: . They don't look too healthy but they say they're ok for vegetarians and the ingredients do look vegan.
I found this link to 'parve' dairy free patisserie. It looks as though you can order on line. Don't know how fresh it would be...Your croissant!

oops, I hope that I have not broken any rules about advertising. I'm sorry about that if I have.
Rosalind
Thanks for that. Where does it say it's dairy free?
Why not make your own. All you need is pre packed puff pastry suitable for vegans. Cut a square in half and rollit up until it forms a croissant shape and bake until golden.
^ But Puff Pastry isn't the same as Croissants, is it?? :confused:
:D Sorry, I have a funny image in my head now!!.
In my local Tesco they are on the shelf above the fridge where the pastries and things are kept. They are in short round tubes and are usually stacked in such a way as to be rendered invisible!! :cool: .
Can you get your shopping online?. If you enter 'Sara Lee Croissants' you'll see them.
I tried on the internet too. Problem is that I think internet shopping comes from the local branch.
While visiting relatives for Thanksgiving (I'm in the US), several food attempts were made to meet my vegan needs. I guess I'm lucky I have such understanding relatives. Some foods were hits, some were misses. But a huge hit was what I believe were labeled "Pillsbury crescent rolls". I read the cardboard tube you slice the dough from (you bake them, they aren't pre-made) and I was shocked I could eat them, but I could and they were quite good. [Warning: may contain food groups I eat that you may not, including sugar, lecithin, and mono and di-glycerides of unknown origin]. It didn't taste exactly like a freshly baked croissant I remember from Paris, but I would say it was more than just edible.
I looked for the sara lee croissants but I could only find all-butter ones but I was shopping today and I saw some sara lee pain au chocolates and I checked the ingredients and I'm pretty sure they were vegan
OMG! Thanks for this recipe :p
no way!! another unicorner!! i live literally down the road from there :D it's the main reason i chose this flat....a vegan supermarket at the end of my street!
back to the croissant issue though.....i was having big cravings too so i tried one of the ones from unicorn - it was terrible cold, so i heated it, but it still didn't taste really great...:(
i guess i'll have to move to paris instead...it's a tough life! :D
