Gregg’s vegan cheese and ham baguette

My local store has finally stocked the vegan cheese and ham sandwiches! I had heard that these were coming sometime in early June but it is only now that I have actually found one. Now strictly speaking it is not anything special at all. It is literally Quorn ham and violife cheese slices. So that … Continue reading Gregg’s vegan cheese and ham baguette

Plant Based salmon

Today we have a weird one. We finally made it down to the Vegan Butcher counter at our local Asda store and I really could have bought everything. They had so many things: They had burgers, cheeses, tempeh, seitan, pizzas, 'meat', tuna, shrimp, calamari....honestly so many options that I literally had to pull myself away. … Continue reading Plant Based salmon

Tesco Bakery Pretzels

The smell of a bakery is always so heartwarming, and during our weekly shop we actually managed to get to the store just as all of the freshly baked goods were being put onto display. The tiger bread and cupcakes definitely called us from across the store. Now I am 99.99% certain that these pretzels … Continue reading Tesco Bakery Pretzels

Moser Roth vegan chocolate

Since the EPIC betrayal of Tesco changing their recipe of their chocolate orange bar, I have been searching for a good chocolate replacement. One that doesn't cost a load of money but still manages to taste like chocolate. There are a lot of options out there now, so I feel it is only my duty … Continue reading Moser Roth vegan chocolate

This isn’t chicken lemon and herb skewers

I feel British Summertime has finally arrived, which means we potentially only have 5 random non-consecutive days left of it! Time to head to the stores and stock up on as many BBQ goods as you can carry and get to grilling. The 'This isn't' range is,m for the most part, pretty good. It seems … Continue reading This isn’t chicken lemon and herb skewers

This isn’t bacon lardons

Where to begin with these. I am not sure how new these are but they have only just come into stock at my local supermarket. Overall, the 'This isn't' range tends to be pretty good - it has a good texture and flavour and is one of the more affordable brands on the market. So … Continue reading This isn’t bacon lardons

Magnum Salted Caramel ice creams

Another new find! This time some more good Magnum goodies. Also...please do not judge me for how I eat my ice creams. Something about just chomping into a solid ice cream lolly just....unnerves me. These were meant to be salted caramel flavour and even though they were definitely sweeter than the plain vanilla flavours, I … Continue reading Magnum Salted Caramel ice creams

Home made vegan sushi

We are still in Lockdown 3.0 in England and as it has also started to rain and snow most days, I am spending my weekends wrapped up warm inside with the heating on and a cup of tea constantly brewing next to me. What better time to perfect my sushi making skills, especially when I … Continue reading Home made vegan sushi
