Accidentally Vegan Products of the Week: Pies and Tarts

All the time I discover supermarket products that I assumed would not be vegan but by some miracle actually are. So I thought I would document the new things I find each week – as knowing that you can satisfy your sweet craving in Sainbury’s, not just your local health food shop which only does…

5 REASONS: Pizza Express Loves Vegans

Pizza Express is rapidly becoming one of my go to chain restaurants if I want a good vegan meal out. It’s great because my friends don’t mind going there either and they often have loads of deals which makes eating out really cheap. Obviously they’re food is delicious and they have a great atmosphere, but…

REVIEW: Amazing Vegan Hot Chocolate

I am a huge hot chocolate fan (I have so much each week, it is bad!) and I was given hot chocolate from Whittard’s as a present and this is without a doubt one of the best hot chocolate mixture’s I have ever owned! It is lovely and indulgent without being sickly sweet and it…

REVIEW: Vegan Graze Snacks

So I was in Sainsbury’s today and all my friends were getting sweet treats with their sandwiches – there was me thinking I’ll get an apple or something.

REVIEW: VEGAN HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE BAR

OMG I bought this chocolate bar today at my local health foods store and it is quite potentially the best dairy-free chocolate bar I’ve ever had! I know – quite a statement…

RECIPE: White Chocolate Oat Peanut Butter Cups

Have you ever craved something so sweet so badly but had no real dessert or sweet ingredients in your cupboard? That was totally me yesterday evening, I realised I had a bar of vegan white chocolate and in desperation created these white chocolate oat things from what I had and I have to say they…

RECIPE: VEGAN KORMA

I love korma so much – even though I love a lot of Indian food, I always come back to the classic that is that creamy, full of flavour korma. Until now I have never been able to make a really thick and creamy korma sauce, but the revelation that is cashew cream has allowed…

RECIPE: Perfect Boiled Rice

For years I felt that producing lovely separate, fluffy grains of rice was an enigma that could never be solved. But for the last couple of years I have perfected a recipe that consistently delivers beautiful separate grains of rice and can also be applied to a lot of other grains! All you need is…
