    Default Europe's first vegan supermarket opens in Dortmund

    Europe's first vegan supermarket opens in Dortmund


    Renowned for its mining industry and blue-collar attitude, Dortmund is an unlikely choice for Europe's first vegan supermarket.

    "If someone opens a supermarket that has no animal products in them, that seems crazy," said animal ethicist and store owner Ralf Kalkowski. "But people are celebrating."

    Vegilicious, which opened on February 26, occupies over 100 square meters in the city-centre, technically making it the only vegan supermarket in Europe.
    I will not eat anything that walks, swims, flies, runs, skips, hops or crawls.

    They (Kim & Ralf Kalkowski) also have just recently opened a vegan coffeehouse called Cakes & Treats.

    Wildly popular as Kim is also the author of a very popular German cookbook on vegan bakery and a successful vegan caterer specialiced on cakes, e.g. for weddings.

    If there is no reason for you to go to Dortmund (and I would suggest that there are very few reasons to do so), then this is certainly one ;-)

    Best regards,
    Andy

    Thank you, Korn and Andy_T. Wow! Brilliant news!

    Andy_T, what is the cookbook called? Quickly tried looking for it on Amazon, but no luck...

    Hi pusskins, as far as I recall it is called "vegan wondercakes" published under Kim's nom de guerre "kim wonderland" (the name of their online shop is " vegan wonderland"). You should also be able to find her on facebook with that name.
    Best regards andy
