Bento no.147 had already been baptized Bow Tie Bento but when I saw all the frills I had put in I decided to add the term ‘baroque’ as well. Roccoco might have been better but I like alliteration. Have you noticed? ;)
And then there was that whole tier full of brownies that couldn’t be ignored… So today’s bento is a real tongue-twister! ;)
Clockwise:
- fruit — classic combination of melon and red berries (with a few cherries added)
- pasta salad with green beans, tree onions and caper berries (in fruschetta dressing) on a bed of curly red leaf lettuce
- green olive
- curled carrot (hehehe I bet you want to know how to do that! ;)
- half a veggie sausage hiding underneath spring onion tassel
- radish flowers
- spicy roasted chickpeas (bento #145 contains link to recipe), sunflower seeds and pepitas
- cucumber flower cup with hummus to dip
- switchback cut gherkins
- beach ball radish
- golden raisins
- mini carrots
- not shown: tumbler of fresh orange juice
And here’s the box full of vegan brownies!
Now you didn’t think I was going to eat them all by myself, did you? I baked a whole batch for a friend’s birthday on Sunday and these leftovers are to be shared with my co-workers at coffee time. Did I mention my colleagues are always happy to see me? ;P
You can find a link to the recipe for these popular vegan brownies in my Belated B-day Bento post.

Last week we spent my birthday in the cinema watching Oscar nominated movies all day long. A perfect way of celebrating as far as I’m concerned, but of course it’s fun to have some family over (and get presents!) too. So I had a belated B-day party on Sunday and some leftover yumminess ended up in tomorrow’s (Tuesday) bento.
Right container
- The Adirondack Chick’s ‘Unstuffed Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers‘: brown rice with tomato, green peppers and zucchini (really good recipe!)

- parsley olives on a skewer
- garlic olives on a skewer
- lettuce lining
- basil, courgette and carrot details
Front container
- marinated grilled courgette
- raw vegetables: orange pepper, cauliflower, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, corn salad & rocket
- store-bought baba ganoush (really wanted to bring some of my homemade creamy hummus but ran out of it at the last minute)
- fried tofu
- mixed nuts
On the side
- 1/2 apple
- 1/2 Poire Williams
The gorgeous tulips were a present from my mother-in-law. Yep, the in-laws are awesome. :) My sister-in-law gave me my very first vegan cookbook for a present: La Dolce Vegan! by Sarah Kramer. And she didn’t even know I was looking for a cookery book to suit my new eating habits! She’s also the one who gave me the World Food Café cookbook that I recently raved about. So you may expect another review somewhere along the line. ;)
And finally — no birthday without cake! Newbie vegan or not. Here’s what I’ll be treating my colleagues to: vegan Brownies & Spicy Applesauce Cake with Lemon Frosting. YUM!
