Waffle wands

A brand new find for me today! This brand appears to be a local brand, based in St Albans in Hertfordshire, and it was their St Albans shop that we visited. From looking on their website, they appear to have started as a wedding and catering brand before opening their store in St Albans. They … Continue reading Waffle wands

Whittard Orange hot chocolate

I am so glad that it is now autumn here in England. English autumns are very much the same as winters, in that it is grey 99% of the time, usually raining, but the weather is slightly more bipolar. At the moment the mornings and the evenings are getting really quite icy (under 10 degrees … Continue reading Whittard Orange hot chocolate

Afterschool Cookie Club chocolate and mandarin cookie dough

This is a brand that I had never heard of until my husband told me about it. We had a day exploring London and this shop was advertised as being in Victoria, and as we were nearby we decided to take the trip down to try this. I love a good cookie and when I … Continue reading Afterschool Cookie Club chocolate and mandarin cookie dough

Pizza Pilgrims vegan margherita

I first discovered Pizza Pilgrims about 5 years ago, however at that point the only vegan option they offered was a tomato base pizza. Which is exactly how it sounds - pizza with tomato sauce on it - and so it wasn't really a favourite of mine to visit. The pizza was very tasty even … Continue reading Pizza Pilgrims vegan margherita

Lidl Sweet Corner strawberry pencils

I have finally found them! Candy pencils have always been one of my favourite sweets, but finding a vegan version has been so hard. I have no idea why its been so hard, but I had given up ever finding a vegan version. My local Lidl has never been the best, usually having a very … Continue reading Lidl Sweet Corner strawberry pencils

Udderlicious dragon fruit sorbet and chocolate gelato

Udderlicious is a brand that I have seen around for quite some time now but was never certain that they had any vegan options available. The few times I did have a look into one of their stores, they had no vegan options on offer, so I gave up checking. That was probably a few … Continue reading Udderlicious dragon fruit sorbet and chocolate gelato

Crosstown and John Whaite rainbow scroll

This doughnut was created in collaboration with John Whaite as part of a charity initiative to raise money for 'akt' as part of their Pride events in 2024. I tried this about two weeks ago, in August. Here in the UK, Pride Month is held in June, however Crosstown state on their website that their … Continue reading Crosstown and John Whaite rainbow scroll

Strawberry Jammie Dodgers

For my international readers out there, Jammies Dodgers are probably one of the main pillars of British society. Jammie Dodgers, Digestives and custard creams. These three biscuits are likely the only things keeping most British people together most of the time. I know, at least for myself, that there are very few situations where a … Continue reading Strawberry Jammie Dodgers

The pumpkin cookie is also back!

I believe this cookie has been around for three years or so, but I don't recall seeing it last year otherwise I would have had one. As per my previous review, this cookie is again a very pleasant autumnal treat to enjoy with a warming coffee. It does have a slight pumpkin flavour to it, … Continue reading The pumpkin cookie is also back!

Fridge Raiders meat free Southern style tasty bites

I am aware that this may be a controversial opinion, but I actually don't mind the vegan Fridge Raider bites. I have seen online that these used to be much loved within the vegan community before the recipe was changed, and now you would think that these were little chunks of death the way some … Continue reading Fridge Raiders meat free Southern style tasty bites
