Livia’s Million Squares

For the first time in almost 4 months, I found myself buying my lunch at work the other day. Which is when I came across these little goodies! Now these are kind of expensive for what they are as the little packet cost me £1.50. But I hadn't seen these before and I fancied a … Continue reading Livia’s Million Squares →

The Vegan Factor Garlic Kievs

Spoiler alert....it's bad. I hadn't heard of The Vegan Factor before, but when I saw that they do a garlic 'chicken' kiev, I decided to give it a try. Kievs are very hard to get wrong and are a staple comfort food in my family, so what could go wrong? The answer is....everything. Unfortunately I … Continue reading The Vegan Factor Garlic Kievs →

100 POSTS!

How strange to think that this is now my 100th post on Taylor Tries Her Best! To think that I started this blog purely to talk about my newest vegan discoveries and now look at where we are! What's even weirder to think about is that I have written 100 posts, of which at least … Continue reading 100 POSTS! →

Chicago Town BBQ Jackfruit pizza

Step aside every other pizza that has ever existed....I give you the King. Now I am not usually the biggest fan of BBQ because I find that the spice always overpowers the sweet and it just tastes a bit...funky. But I saw this one on my grocery shop and decided that I would give it … Continue reading Chicago Town BBQ Jackfruit pizza →

One of the big misconceptions that I have found with veganism is the idea that if you want to go vegan you have to do away with everything non-vegan that you own in your life. While this method may work with other lifestyles, such as minimalism or decluttering, I have found this way of thinking … Continue reading Can vegans use non-vegan products that they already own? →

Can vegans visit zoos?

One of the big dilemmas that many vegans face (myself included) is the issue regarding zoos: We want to see wild animals that we may never get to see, but we also don't know how we feel about these animals being taken from their natural habitat and put on display for us to stare at. … Continue reading Can vegans visit zoos? →

Vegan Tattoos

Something I had never considered when I first went vegan was the idea of a vegan tattoo. I have always wanted tattoos, but as so many tattoo inks contain animal by products such as gelatin and shellac I had sort of resigned myself to not have any tattoos. I mean, what was the point of … Continue reading Vegan Tattoos →

Dating a non-vegan

One of the most common questions I get when I mention that I live with my boyfriend and that I am vegan, is whether or not he is vegan too. When I say no, they immediately respond with 'then why are you with him?'. And to this day I never know how to respond to … Continue reading Dating a non-vegan →

Plant Kitchen chorizo puppies

Restrictions in the UK are now starting to ease, I decided to venture out into the normal world and go to M&S. My local store has been open throughout the lockdown but as it is located in the middle of the town centre, I haven't been brave enough to venture into town until this weekend. … Continue reading Plant Kitchen chorizo puppies →
