Simply Pure is a fresh, modern take on vegan food and less hippie dippie than most people think. A while back I tried her vegan lasagna at a startup event at The Innevation Center and most recently tried her sampler platter and I can say that Chef Stacey Dougan does vegan food well!
I liked the lasagna and it was flavorful and better than expected. This was my first time having vegan lasagna and I would definitely order it again.
The Ultimate Sampler Platter #3 was delish as well! It had a little bit of everything on the menu.
I've had many of these items before, but some items (like the jicama chili cheese fries) were a first for me and may be a little out there for those new to vegan food. The sampler included:
- Zucchini Pasta Trio -- spiraled zucchini - refreshing and flavorful. Loved it.
- Nachos Grande, Vegan Taco & Chicken Salad Lettuce Wrap were delish. These were my fave in the sampler.
- Jicama Chili Cheese Fries -- a little different, with the combination of refreshing jicama slices and chili cheese, but I enjoyed it. This may be an acquired taste for some, especially those new to vegan food.
All I can say is that I enjoyed it! Her dishes made my body feel good, physically. Felt less tired, felt more energized and nourished. (It was a Saturday with the family and I usually have Hawai'ian or "junk-cheat day food.")
I'm looking forward to having the lasagna again and trying the juices, enchiladas, tacos, and of course, the desserts!
