Any Oxford recommendations?

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven't got around to visiting. I have recently (ok, 6 months ago) moved further away from the London area, and one of my closest cities is now Oxford. I have heard amazing things about Oxford, and I have done a lot of research on … Continue reading Any Oxford recommendations?

Buttermilk choc wafer bar

It seems there has been a bit of a hole in my life since the vegan kitkat has been discontinued. There are still great chocolate options out there, but sometimes there are itches that no amount of dairy-free chocolate can scratch. I still get a little grumpy when I walk through my local groceries and … Continue reading Buttermilk choc wafer bar

Happy New year!

Happy New year everyone! Goodness me was 2025 a bit of a rough year. A lot of big things happened, but not all of them were good, and as a result I completely lost myself in the chaos for a while. I am hoping that 2026 is going to be far calmer a year, and … Continue reading Happy New year!

Tofu Heaven tofu bites

This was easily the best accidental find that I mae whilst in Rotterdam. As a city, Rotterdam seemed amazing for vegan food and vegan options, and I definitely would like to go back to fully explore it all without needing to rush.

Halloween is around the corner and I am very excited! Halloween is my favourite time of year and whilst I celebrate Halloween a little differently nowadays, I am always a fan of any celebration that promotes eating lots of candy and watching spooky movies. I therefore thought it would be helpful to compile a list … Continue reading Best vegan candy for Halloween

UPDATE – Is the European Union planning to ban widely-used ‘meaty names’ for plant-based food?

Further to my original post, The European Parliament has indeed voted to ban the use of traditional meat names - including ‘steak’ and ‘burger’ - to describe plant-based alternatives. Members of the conservative EPP (European People’s Party) group supported the move, arguing that using meat and dairy terminology for vegan-friendly counterparts is “misleading for the … Continue reading UPDATE – Is the European Union planning to ban widely-used ‘meaty names’ for plant-based food?

Plant Pioneer no chicken kievs

I feel that the chicken kyiv is quite the staple of the British cuisine, and so when I went vegetarian it was quite hard to find anything as a replacement, let alone finding a vegan alternative. The few I have tried have always ended up being very bland and super dry, so I admit when … Continue reading Plant Pioneer no chicken kievs

We haven't even had Halloween yet and the Christmas goodies are already starting to appear in shops! I don't tend to think about Christmas until November, but I am also a sucker for gingerbread so I am always on the look out for gingerbread anything even if it is not Christmas time. These Oreos therefore … Continue reading Oreo gingerbread cookies
