Big Announcement! Introducing…Voracious!

I have a very exciting announcement to make: I have opened my own vegan bakery – Voracious! It is the first vegan, feminist bakery in the Middle East! I have been wanting to share this news with you all for so long but I forced myself to wait until I was really in the swing of things and everything was up and running smoothly.

I have spent the past several months working on recipe creation, testing, and finalization. While I have taken my inspiration from many sources, every single recipe is entirely my own creation. The hardest part of this whole process was the fact that here in Saudi Arabia it is hard to find a regular supply of even the most basic ingredients. To make sure I would always be able to make any of my recipes I had to source several different locations throughout the province for a variety of unreliable ingredients.

Also, because of the laws of Saudi Arabia, as a woman I can’t have or work in my own brick and mortar bakery, so I operate my little bakery right out of my home kitchen here on our private compound. I am having a blast!

Voracious has been an immediate success; people are not only interested in living a more compassionate lifestyle, but also in eating more healthfully – and Voracious meets both of those needs perfectly!

We have done a preliminary distribution of the menu but I’m still polishing it up, and during this phase of working all the kinks out I’m still pondering a few items and whether or not they should be added or removed. But you can see a sneak peek here!

Isn’t it beautiful? I am really proud of the introductory paragraphs on the second page. Here is what they say:

Voracious is an ethical, health conscious bakery committed to providing delicious home baked vegan desserts. From classic chocolate chip cookies and apple pie, to banana bread and coconut lime cupcakes, we can accommodate small orders for a family dinner or large orders for your next party.

All of our dishes are 100% vegan, with no meat, no dairy and no eggs, which makes everything cholesterol free, dairy free, lactose free, and saturated fat free; perfect for the mindful diner. Many of our dishes are refined sugar free and suitable for people with food sensitivities.

Thanks for reading and I hope that someday you get to try some of Voracious’ desserts!
