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

Sunday Musings

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. Where my food comes from. I know that it is likely a cliche at this point, but I really do wish I had moved towards a vegan diet earlier. Whilst going vegetarian was a good way for 16 year old me to learn how … Continue reading Sunday Musings

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

Java Whiskers Cat Café at Shepherds Bush

If there is one thing I am a sucker for, it is a cat café. I obviously want to make sure that they are an ethical establishment before I visit, but once I am satisfied that the cat welfare is the main priority, I am all for it! There is nothing better than a coffee, … Continue reading Java Whiskers Cat Café at Shepherds Bush

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

I audibly squealed with excitement when I sae this announcement... The vegan deities have answered our prayers! Finally a vegan version of Nutella is coming to the UK and I cannot explain how excited for this I am. I fully intend to buy a jar as soon as it is released, eat the whole thing … Continue reading Vegan Nutella announced!

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
