The return of the pumpkin spice flavouring is my signal that Autumn has finally hit in the UK. Unfortunately our weather is far too unpredictable all year round to really signal any changes to the seasons, so I go by what flavour is the most popular amongst all of the coffee shops and restaurants. I … Continue reading PSA: Pumpkin Spice season has returned!

Easy vegan mac and cheese
There is no greater comfort food than mac and cheese, and I find that so many of the pre-made options just aren't on the same level. Either the sauce isn't even cheesy, or it has this odd grainy texture to it which does take away from the 'comfort' side of the meal. I have been … Continue reading Easy vegan mac and cheese
Simple asparagus risotto
I know it is meant to be spring at the moment, but in England it is still very much feeling like winter. It means that I am still craving hearty and warming comfort food, but still wanting to try and welcome that spring time vibe into existence. I have tested this recipe out a few … Continue reading Simple asparagus risotto
Linda McCartney chicken and mushroom pies
If you're new to veganism, there is still a very high chance that you have heard about the Linda McCartney food range. Like Quorn, I think Linda McCartney (as a brand I mean, not the actual woman) is one of the most well known and longest running brands for vegan and vegetarian foods. I for … Continue reading Linda McCartney chicken and mushroom pies
Gregg’s Southern Fried Chicken baguette
Just before Christmas it appeared that Gregg's had removed their ham and cheese melt baguette for reasons that I still have not been able to work out. I, personally, really loved being able to buy just a basic ham and cheese sandwich from a shop on the high street that was tasty and affordable. Not … Continue reading Gregg’s Southern Fried Chicken baguette

There aren't very many around where I live as the whole global pandemic meant a lot of the restaurants had to close and eventually decided not to bother re-opening the local branches. But recently, Honest Burgers opened in my area and I … Continue reading Honest Burgers Bacon Plant
Garden Gourmet burgers
I think I may have found the best burger... I had not seen these on sale before, but had heard good things about the range as a whole. So I gave them a try, wanting something different to my usual Meatless Farm burger. Oh boy were these a treat and a half! I found these … Continue reading Garden Gourmet burgers
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
One Pot Vegan Mac and Cheese
With the weather now getting colder once more (goodbye English Summertime!) I have been in need of a good comfort meal. Thankfully, mac and cheese is one of the easiest meals to veganise and is peak comfort food in my books! Ingredients 2 cups uncooked macaroni noodles 2 1/2 – 3 cups milk (we used … Continue reading One Pot Vegan Mac and Cheese
Linda McCartney’s pulled pork burgers
When I first went vegan, so many people became highly concerned about the fact that I would be missing out on burgers. Because you can't have a burger without meat. As usual, Linda McCartney to the rescue! These pulled pork burgers are honestly something else. I tried this one plain to begin with, so that I … Continue reading Linda McCartney’s pulled pork burgers
