All over the world
I have been getting a lot of comments and visits because the Vegan Lunch Box linked to me!
I have gotten visitors from Brazil to Japan and from Iceland to Australia. It is so cool to have all these people come by. Do you have any suggestions of foods from where you live that I could learn to make?

I linked to you from the Vegan lunchbox as well... Good job on your lunch, it look delicious.
I live in NJ but I was born in Guatemala.
I've been trying to think of a recipe for you but I don't know if you are vegan or just veggie. One of my favorite things is black beans and they are so versatile. I saw one of your other posts said you like quesadillas... have you ever tried to put some beans in with the cheese? It is really delicious and my nieces love it.
Great job on your blog kiddo. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! I love beans in my quesadillas.
I am not a vegan or even a vegetarian--but I really really love vegetables!
I'm not from Thialand, but one of my newest favorite dishes is Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango. It's an unusual dish that is pretty easy to make (I use Jasmine rice instead of true sticky rice since it's difficult to get in my area).
Hello Abraham,
I also followed the link from Vegan Lunchbox; I really loved your winning entry. Like you, I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but I love all kinds of delicious food, in particular perfectly fresh, ripe fruits and vegetables. I don't have any particular regional recipe suggestions for you, but lately I have really enjoyed making vegan cherry tomato and green bean salad, with mustard shallot vinaigrette. It's not hard to make, just:
-cut the green beans into bite-sized pieces and steam.
-toss with halved cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add walnuts if you like.
-make the dressing by mixing olive oil, mustard (or vinegar or lemon juice), chopped shallots, and maybe some walnut oil or sesame oil if you have it.
-toss everything together and eat!
Happy cooking!

Hello from London, England!
I live in Laos. I think you would have fun making vegan fresh spring rolls.
They are easy to make; just pick whatever fillings you want and find some rice paper wrappers (Asian food store). Soak the wrappers in some water until they are soft, then roll the veggies up inside. Sometimes I put peanut butter in with the veggies, too. I like to dip mine in sweet plum sauce, which you can also buy at the Asian grocery store.
These are fun as a meal, you can make them while you sit and eat. Each person can make their own right at the table!
Congratulations Abe, keep up the good work! I see lots of lunch boxes in your future.:D

Have fun!
big congratulations from florida!
homemade tortillas are yummy, we make them a lot in florida :-)
That lunch looks amazing! Tell your mom that Mama-E thinks that a family cookbook should be one of your next projects!
Hi, I'm from Singapore, living in China ! And I also have a little boy who loves to cook just like you. He's nine and I can't wait to show him your blog. He loves to cook but hates to write.. he's gonna be so impressed by you !
Keep up the good work !
I was just reading your mother's blog and heard you placed first in a Vegan Lunch Box contest. Congratulations!
I am from Germany and I have to admit that I actually like cabbage. Raw cabbage as a salad, it becomes better everyday. You can make it with a lot of spices like Caraway but also with little pieces of red capsicum.
And I got a weak spot for peanut butter sandwiches with kiwi slices - which is also an idea I have picked up at vegan lunch box.
Enjoy your selfmade meals!
Your lunches look delicious. How about Bruschetta?
First the topping -
Into a bowl put one/two (depending on the size)diced tomatoes and one diced Spanish (red) onion. Add some basil leaves torn into small pieces. Drizzle over with a small amount of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Toss and place to the side.
Next, cut some thick slices of ciabiatta bread (any sort of bread stick will do). Rub a cut garlic clove over the bread and toast until brown.
Once the toast is ready spoon the tomato/onion mixture on the top and enjoy!
Hi from New Zealand!!
I agree your winning lunch box looks fabulous - wish my lunch looked so good.
I can't think of any real kiwi (New Zealand born people are often called kiwis - after one of our native birds) recipes for you.
One of my favourite things to do with vegetables is to make vege kebabs with peppers, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, & broccoli threaded on kebab skewers and grilled. Remember to soak the skewers in water for 5 minutes first, so they do not burn!
SJ :o)
One of my kids' favorite meals is homemade taco pizza.
Our new favorite food here is Cauliflower Poppers. I'm from Texas and mostly people eat lots of meat but we try not to eat so much of it at our house. Anyway, for cauliflower popper you take one head of cauliflower and cut off all the florets.
Then you put them in a bowl with a few teaspoons of olive oil. Sprinkle on spices - we like salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder and a little tiny bit of cayenne pepper. Then you toss it all together. Put it in the oven at 400 degrees to roast it. After 5 or 6 minutes, take it out and turn all the little florets over and roast for 5 or 6 more minutes.
No more mushy cauliflower!
