Popcorn and Nutritional Yeast

by

I have loved popcorn for as long as I can remember.

When I was a teenager growing up in Australia, I would sometimes head to a city centre cinema with one goal in mind. I wasn’t going to watch a film or meeting friends. I was going to the cinema to buy a giant tub of popcorn.

I would buy a jumbo box and then wander around the city streets happily munching away.

That was a time when cinema popcorn didn’t cost the same as a small mortgage. Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, buying a huge serving of popcorn felt like a treat that didn’t completely empty your wallet.

Fast forward quite a few decades and not much has changed. Well, apart from the price of cinema popcorn.

I still absolutely adore the stuff.

These days I tend to make it at home at least once a week. Freshly popped corn, still warm from the pan, is one of my all-time favourite snacks. My go-to seasoning is a generous sprinkle of ground nutritional yeast mixed with a little salt.

So you can imagine my excitement when I was browsing Planet Organic today and spotted a ready-made popcorn flavoured with Marigold nutritional yeast.

Vegan Yorkshire Puddings in London

by

If you have been vegan for any length of time, you will probably understand the sadness of missing out on Yorkshire puddings. You can find yourself surrounded by roast potatoes, mountains of vegetables, gravy and all sorts of exciting plant-based centrepieces, yet there is one familiar feature missing from the plate.

For years, finding a genuinely good vegan Yorkshire pudding has been one of those frustrations that comes with being vegan. It seems almost absurd when you stop to think about it because Yorkshire puddings are not some mysterious food requiring a secret ingredient that can only be sourced from Emmerdale farm.

A traditional Yorkshire pudding is essentially a simple batter made from flour, eggs and milk, cooked in hot fat until it puffs up into a combination of crispy edges and soft, fluffy middle. Obviously, eggs and dairy are not vegan, but the basic idea can be recreated with plant-based ingredients.

And somehow us vegans have been taking our sweet time when it comes to making Yorkies a staple of our plant-based Sunday dinners.

But things have changed in London.

Looking for Work as a Vegan

by

Right now, I am looking for temporary work, and it has made me think quite a lot about the complicated relationship between our ethics and the realities of making a living.

After more than 16 years of being Fat Gay Vegan, organising events, writing, promoting businesses, working in media, and supporting charities, I am currently looking for paid employment to see me through the next few months. It is a strange position to find myself in, particularly because I am trying to navigate the working world while staying as true as possible to an ethical framework like veganism.
