Covent Garden Flower Market

I recently got married (yay me!) and one of the biggest stressors I found was trying to sort out flowers. It seems that as soon as florists hear the word 'wedding', the cost for flowers immediately jumps up a couple hundred quid and then you're spending more money on flowers than you did on the … Continue reading Covent Garden Flower Market →

Lauduree vegan hazelnut macaron

I LOVE macarons. I have never regretted moving to a vegan lifestyle, but if there was one thing I missed most it would have to be macarons. The French kind. Especially when they are super soft and cakey in the middle but have that hard and crispy outer layer. Laduree is a French company that … Continue reading Lauduree vegan hazelnut macaron →

Doughnut Time D’oh Nut

When you think of a doughnut, you think about Homer Simpson. And no doubt you drool in the same way that he does for doughnuts. I know I do...especially when it comes to Doughnut Time doughnuts. I have tried the majority of the doughnuts that they have on offer and I stand by the opinion … Continue reading Doughnut Time D’oh Nut →

I am a published author!

Not animal welfare or vegan focused, but it is another one of my biggest passions. I have always loved writing and in 2020 I really started to take my writing a bit more seriously and to make time for a hobby of mine that inspires me. It provides me with an escape from the everyday … Continue reading I am a published author! →

What is the animal holocaust?

This is quite a testy sentence that I have seen being used by a number of vegan activists, both from individuals and organisations. Whilst there is a part of me that understands why they use this language, I personally do not agree with it. I have always loved languages, especially the written language. I loved … Continue reading What is the animal holocaust? →

Quick and easy pizza recipe

The best thing about winter is the comfort food. Here in England, while it is technically considered spring now, it is still freezing cold and we are currently getting weather warnings for snow and sleet in the coming weeks. So I don't think we are out of winter just yet. Which means it is still … Continue reading Quick and easy pizza recipe →

Baxters jackfruit and 3 bean soup

It is at that funny time of year here in England where the weather cannot decide if it will be warm or cold. The temperatures are currently ranging from -1 to 15 (Celsius), sometimes multiple times in one day. I am sure there is some sort of debate to be had about the effects of … Continue reading Baxters jackfruit and 3 bean soup →

Squeaky Beam pastrami

As promised, I am slowly making my way through the entire Squeaky Bean product line. So far, they have been consistently good. Their products are now becoming a stable part of our weekly food shop as their 'deli meats' are great for sandwiches during the week. Of course, the macros of the products are some … Continue reading Squeaky Beam pastrami →
