Now I love pizzas. If I was to have a last meal it would most likely be a pizza of some sort. The downside however, is that pizza does not love me. Most pizzas are very greasy - especially the takeaway variety - and when you're trying to focus more on your health and eating … Continue reading Zizzi rustica pizza jackfruit pepperoni

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
Which e-numbers are vegan?
As with all things vegan, there is always something new to learn. Now if you are following a plant based diet then it is likely that you haven't come across e-numbers before. I won't get into a debate (not now anyway) about whether e-numbers are good or bad for you, but I am someone who … Continue reading Which e-numbers are vegan?
Squeaky Bean steak pieces
Following on from my previous Squeaky Bean review, I am now slowly working my way through their entire product range. It seems all of their products are very high in protein, so this works wonderfully for myself who is trying to improve my macro intake to improve my performance at the gym. I was very … Continue reading Squeaky Bean steak pieces

In the past few years I have seen the Veganuary movement explode every January. What originally started as a few new vegan products being offered in stores, is now entire lines of … Continue reading Veganuary 2023
Loma Tuno and mayo
There is something quite comforting about a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich and since going vegan I have been trying to find a good alternative to tuna. So far, my best has been my homemade chickpea and sweetcorn recipe which does a good job of replacing my tuna meals. I have to say though that there … Continue reading Loma Tuno and mayo
Pudding Stop vegan cookie dough sundae
Oh damn... Now THIS is how you do a dessert. I think this gave me enough sugar to last me for a good few months but goodness me was it delicious! A few weeks ago, during some annual leave, we took a trip to St Albans in Hertfordshire. If you have never been, I would … Continue reading Pudding Stop vegan cookie dough sundae
Fry’s Popcorn chick’n
I have heard great things about Fry's, but unfortunately in the UK the brand is quite hard to come by in regular stores. Usually I only see it on offer at the very expensive and very niche places, such as Whole Foods or Ocado. However in the last few months I have started to see … Continue reading Fry’s Popcorn chick’n
