EASY VEGAN SUSHI ROLLS (3 RECIPES IN 1)

Hello everyone! It's Rita here. It's been one whole month since we last shared a recipe on the blog. We're never happy to have to take a break from blogging... but this time around, we had some pretty good reasons. Our first cookbook is out!!! It is called Vegan Para Todos (which translates to Vegan For All) and so far, it's been published in portuguese only. We're working towards publishing it in english as well and we're hopeful it will happen. We had had the dream to write our own cookbook for some time, but we could not have imagined it would happen so soon. Life tooks us by surprise, this time.

Today we're sharing not one, not two... but three recipes! The temperatures are slowly but surely starting to rise here in the northern hemisphere and we're starting to feel like eating fresher, cooler meals. I don't know about you guys, but I could easily have sushi for dinner 2-3 times a week. André stands by it. I have to admit, these are not so much recipes as they are suggestions on what to stuff your maki and california rolls with. The truth is, we don't often make sushi at home... but when we do, it is a full blown celebration! We love sushi, and although it is one of the easiest foods to veganize, we have trouble finding good quality vegan sushi that is not sky-high expensive. At least, in our home town.
