I've had the pleasure of trying literally everything on the menu from the Sprouted Root Kitchen vendor at the Narrowsburg Farmer's Market. I can tell you that not one of their creations has been less than amazing! Everything is plant based, organic, fresh, and delicious. They make a number of signature sandwiches - all served on savory waffles (OMG the waffles!), made with careful attention to the combination of flavors and textures. This food is ART, people!
The "What's Up Doc?" sandwich is their take on the classic cream cheese and lox bagel sandwich. Served on an everything waffle (like an everything bagel, except a waffle!) with their handmade cashew cream cheese (to die for!) and smoked carrot lox - carrots that are superbly flavored, marinated in special seasonings that actually capture the flavor profile of lox! Genius!
Then there's the "3500 Club" - an eggless egg salad (made from tofu) on a scrumptious buckwheat caraway waffle. It's hands down the best vegan egg salad I've ever tasted. It's topped with their homemade pickled red onions, tomato and spring greens. Basically the perfect picnic sandwich!
The third sandwich option is "Peas and Love" - a chickpea based picnic salad made in the style of classic tuna salad. This is served on a lemon dill cornbread waffle. The blend of flavors is heavenly. It hits all the right notes you'd expect from the classic it's inspired by, with a novel twist thanks to the herby, savory cornbread waffle. A healthy and delicious way to get your protein!
Now let's talk about their handcrafted spreadable cheeses! I can't even describe how amazing these sunflower and cashew based cheeses are. I buy a container or two and eat them all week long for lunches and easy dinners. Paired with their artisanal crackers (which are amaaazing!) it's the perfect protein-filled snack. They make a number of flavors, like roasted red pepper and lemon rosemary. All gluten free by the way. I like to spread them on all kinds of sandwiches, make toasted cheese sammies with them...brilliant!!
To accompany all this deliciousness they serve rosemary infused hand squeezed lemonade! It's basically summer in a cup. Best lemonade I've ever had. Warning - it is addictive!!
Wow, I can't believe how much I wrote here. It's just so exciting to find a 100% vegan, plant based, organic food vendor at a farmer's market - and then for it to be this flippin' good - it's a veg foodie's dream come true!! AND the owners are the sweetest, coolest people - much love!!
I also should mention that all their packaging is environmentally responsible or reusable. If you're in the Narrowsburg, NY area and fancy a fabulous picnic curated by two cool-as-hell NYC transplants with vegan magical powers - stop by Sprouted Root Kitchen!!!!
