#Welcome Miyoko Miyoko - s Kitchen Mixer Hour! Vida Vegan HQ

Welcome Miyoko + Miyoko s Kitchen Mixer Hour!

Registered for Vida Vegan Con III? You re invited to Miyoko s Kitchen Mixer!

We re living in new realm of vegan cheese these days, from culturing cashews and making your own, to stockpiles of rejuvelac and soirées  with biodynamic wine pairings and fancypants, surreal assortments. The world of plant-based cheesy goodness  has undoubtedly grown leaps and bounds in the past three years alone, and that s thanks to one extraordinary woman: Miyoko Schinner .

With the release of Artisan Vegan Cheese in 2012, vegans all around the globe suddenly had the instructions to make their own aged, nondairy cheese wheels. And thanks to this woman, her test kitchens, insight, know-how and supporters (and the demand!), vegan cheese-curious craving folks are now able to go directly to the source (and stop worrying as much about whether their quinoa is sprouting correctly, uh,  not that I can relate to that or anything) from Miyoko s Kitchen !

Let s get to the point, we not only have Miyoko Schinner joining us on our 2015 VVC Speaker Lineup to share her expertise in the vegan business world in her presentation, Exploits of a Veganpreneur –  Experiences and Lessons Learned through Growing Multiple Vegan Businesses ,   Miyoko s Kitchen . her signature line of vegan cultured nut products is throwing a special party for all our attendees!

Okay, you know how we re always saying, make this a vegan vacation! , or, this is a 3 day event ! . Well, that s because it s true! This year, Vida Vegan Con s opening day is our debut Vegan Bazaar. which is where we ll have way more vendors than ever before, all on one day. We re talking sampling, live demos, special talks, panel discussions on Vegan Family and real talk on just how Austin got so awesome , raffles, two vegan taco trucks parked right outside, and for the first time ever, ANYONE can attend. Seriously. We ve finally made a way to offer the one day ticket so many people have asked about in the past, basically.
