I was never a fan of the Easter celebrations when I lived in the U.K., 3 days and more of eating disgusting Chocolate Easter eggs full of sugar and toxins never made any sense to me. And the regret after was very depressing.
Easter is Cyprus has become my favourite holiday with all it's wonderful traditions.
Keeping it vegan and healthy; it's really not hard. I sought out a small independent local baker in Limassol and asked if he could make me vegan flaounes. They turned out incredibly delicious! The cheese used was coconut oil based and 100% vegan. Even the baker was surprised with the taste of the final produce, and agreed that they tasted even better than his animal derived cheese flaounes.
If you would like the bakers phone number, it's 357 9979003, he is located near Papas supermarket in Potamos Germasogeia.
Happy Cypriot Vegan Easter everyone.
