In the Mood Cafe: Passionfruit cake

This little cafe is located around the corner from where I work, and yet every time I go past it, it is either absolutely rammed busy or closed. They are a completely vegan cafe, serving cakes, drinks and various hot meals which I believe are changed seasonally. When I visited they had some curry dishes … Continue reading In the Mood Cafe: Passionfruit cake

Plant Kitchen marshmallows

I have heard good things about these but my local store never seemed to ever stock these. So naturally when I finally found a packet I nearly knocked over three old ladies to grab them first. Not even sorry. These are exactly how I remember marshmallows being: soft and light and fluffy, while also being … Continue reading Plant Kitchen marshmallows

Wicked Garlic and Herb kebabs

Wicked kitchen are slowly going up in my estimations. Normally the only food they had on offer were spiced to within an inch of their life, so all you could taste in any meal was chilli. But this range - the options for kebabs - prove that you do not need a ton of spicy … Continue reading Wicked Garlic and Herb kebabs

Lush’s Twilight bath bomb

A week ago I found myself in self-isolation. My NHS COVID app told me that I needed to self isolate for 5 days, on Sunday night. Therefore for 5 days I had to stay in my house and not go anywhere. At all. I couldn't even go outside. Which meant that my lovely partner had … Continue reading Lush’s Twilight bath bomb

Raw Bake station vanilla choc chic cookies

I found these in my cupboard and realised that I had missed them from a variety box of goodies that I got about a month ago! That sounds so unlike me, doesn't it? Now I am not usually a big fan of 'raw' treats - I'd rather just eat fruit as a 'raw snack' than … Continue reading Raw Bake station vanilla choc chic cookies

The Enchanted Tearoom – Vegan afternoon tea

There is always something so decadent about an afternoon tea. I always feel like a true Lady when I go to one, and it makes me feel all posh and regal: Like I am in my very own Bridgerton episode. Since going vegan though I have only been able to find one other vegan afternoon … Continue reading The Enchanted Tearoom – Vegan afternoon tea

The Vegetarian Butcher: What the Cluck pieces

OK so the brand name is slightly confusing, but they actually have a very extensive range of vegan meat substitutes. We decided to try the chicken option first (instead of the duck that was also on offer at our supermarket at the time) as chicken replacements tend to be the plainest and therefore the easiest … Continue reading The Vegetarian Butcher: What the Cluck pieces

Vegan Butcher: Shrimp

Another new try from the Vegan Butcher counter. As mentioned in my previous post, I was super impressed by the different options the Vegan butcher counter had on offer, and I will definitely be going back there soon to try some of the other things on sale. Part of me fears I may have set … Continue reading Vegan Butcher: Shrimp

PHD Smart Plant Protein: Eton Mess

Now that I ma getting back into my fitness, I have decided to start drinking protein again. I used to drink it a lot when I was working out 5-6 days a week and found that I recovered a lot quicker than if I went without. I am now getting to the point where DOMs … Continue reading PHD Smart Plant Protein: Eton Mess

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
