Can vegans support zoos?

I want to have a discussion with you all, because it is something that I have been very interested in for some time. When I was at university I actually did a whole dissertation on whether zoos were good or bad for animal welfare. I went in thinking that there was no way that zoos … Continue reading Can vegans support zoos? →

Birds Eye Chicken-free dippers

When you think of Bird's Eye, you do not think vegan food. You think of that fisherman with the big white beard selling you fish fingers. However it appears that they too have now released a plant based selection of frozen food. At the moment it seems to only have about 5 different items for … Continue reading Birds Eye Chicken-free dippers →

Vegan Butcher Pepperoni Pizza

Another day, another pizza. As you have all worked out by now, I am 100% vegan for the animals - my health is really a tiny little factor. I have however been trying to work on that, and to try and eat more wholefood meals rather than processed. But if any of you have ever … Continue reading Vegan Butcher Pepperoni Pizza →

Snuggle Sundays

I visited my parents the other day, which means I got to see my kitty! I called for her out of the back door, she came running and then decided that this was the perfect spot to stop and lie down. Of course she refused to move at all and I had to go to … Continue reading Snuggle Sundays →

I had more animal encyclopedias than was probably healthy. Then for dinner my mom cooked lamb and I made that connection: a lamb was … Continue reading Vegan Butcher Mock Lamb →

Slug and Lettuce chocolate orange tart

Another little treat from my Slug and Lettuce venture the other day. As I mentioned in my mac'n'cheeze post their vegan menu is pretty good and also just a bit more decadent than your usual pub food. Needless to say I was very excited to try this little baby! Now I don't know if it … Continue reading Slug and Lettuce chocolate orange tart →

Vegan Kit Kat

I finally found the motherload!! I have heard that these were a thing but had never been lucky enough to find one. The only reason I even got this one is because one of my lovely work colleagues got lucky at her local Sainsbury's. Apparently you should be able to find them in m,ost supermarkets, … Continue reading Vegan Kit Kat →

Slug and Lettuce vegan mac’n’cheeze

I have been meaning to go to a Slug and Lettuce for some time, but as the one nearby is the only one for quite some miles, it is always heaving with people. But I lucked out this week, as it seems with the bank holiday weekend, people have had their fill of bars and … Continue reading Slug and Lettuce vegan mac’n’cheeze →

BOL spanish bean and Veg Paella

Another hectic week thanks to the British bank Holiday, so I had to grab myself a lunch in between client meetings. I am currently trying to focus on more whole food recipes, and to eat less processed goods, so I thought this BOL pot would be better for me than a Pot Noodle. I was … Continue reading BOL spanish bean and Veg Paella →
