If you think you’ve seen persistent, miserable rain in your life, come to Leeds to see how it’s really done.
I am currently in the Yorkshire city for a weekend trip (I came to see awesome band Fortitude Valley in concert) and the weather couldn’t be more stereotypically Leeds right now. Pouring rain. Chilly, blustery winds. I would be annoyed anywhere else but I used to live in Leeds and for me the weather is part of its charm.
I braved the elements to hit up one of the best vegan eateries in the country last night. Leeds, you are so fortunate to have Doner Summer!
This isn’t a deep and meaningful post today, but I thought some of you might like to know about these vegan festive foods I saw in a local supermarket.
I saw them all in the Sainsbury’s located in Angel, London.
Tuesday. Tuesday. Gotta get down on TUESDAY… or something like that.
It’s time for another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), the podcast in which Josh and I chat about random topics and act like we know what we are talking about.
This week we get inloved with the cultural legacy of Absolutely Fabulous, why I love Manchester, and the disgraceful reality of the British royal family.

If you are in the UK you’ll probably know what a carvery is, right?
Carvery is a type of food service in a restaurant or pub where different types of meat and roast vegetables are lined up on a buffet.
Unity Diner has been impressing Londoners with a vegan carvery for a few months and now they are taking it a step further with a special festive carvery taking place across a few days in November and December 2025.
Among the piles of vegetables and artisan chutneys at markets there’s something even more exciting appearing in bigger and bigger numbers.
Vegan bakery stalls!
Across the UK, from Leeds to Bristol and from Glasgow to Brighton, talented plant-based bakers are setting up tables laden with doughnuts, cookies, and pastries that could make anyone weak at the knees. It’s an incredible movement that deserves celebrating.
Alexis Gauthier and his legendary Soho fine dining eatery have been making waves for years in the UK capital, but did you know that the award-winning chef has another location focussed on vegan sushi?
If you have a good memory, you might remember when I posted about a fabulous independent business called Take a Bite and Smile.
This 100% vegan bakery business is an Italian dessert specialist with some of the most exquisite baked goods you’ll find in the UK. I’m here today to let you know about a special pop up market where you will be able to pick up their sweet treats in November 2025.
