How can I be an activist?

How to deal with unwanted vegan comments

While veganism has grown in popularity over the last few years, there is still a lot of ignorance around what veganism is and what it means to people. I have been vegan now for 8 years (and was vegetarian for 6 years before then) and unfortunately there are still people out there who think that … Continue reading How to deal with unwanted vegan comments

Doughnut Time Gordon Jamsey

What a better way to start my New Year than a trip to Doughnut Time. It is easy to say that their doughnuts are - without any doubt - the best doughnuts on the market right now. At this point I must have tried most of their options so I definitely have the experience behind … Continue reading Doughnut Time Gordon Jamsey

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

Buttermilk caramel nougat bar

Following on from the Love Raw bar, I have been on the lookout for more vegan dupes of favourite chocolate bars. I have tried Buttermilk products before and I have always found them to be a solid and consistent brand. Their chocolate has been tasty and reasonably priced, but it doesn't do anything spectacular. Again, … Continue reading Buttermilk caramel nougat bar
