People told me I would have a difficult time as a vegan and while there aren’t any completely vegan restaurants, I haven’t struggled at all really.
Yesterday I took a stroll through the Carrefour supermarket and was blown away by the amazing selection of vegan groceries. it was far beyond what I expected to see.
Huge fridges of vegan cheese, so many vegan milks, and a seemingly endless selection of plant based products. My head was swimming!

I know from friends who need to eat gluten free how tough that can be as a vegan, but at least this spot in the east end of London has made gluten free vegan burgers a reality.
Another week means another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast.
This week, Josh and I chat about the complicated topic of separating the art from the artist. In the wake of the global success of the Michael Jackson biopic, we consider how the allegations made against the superstar while he was alive have deterred us from listening to his music.
A discussion also takes place about the history of the two sleeps practice throughout human existence. We consider what we have lost as a species by becoming dependent on light and technology to stay awake longer and what it means to have lost those waking hours in the middle of the night.

Local elections are around the corner and if you have ever wondered whether your vote actually does anything, especially if you are thinking about voting Green, let me give you a gentle but firm encouraging nudge.
Yes, it can make a difference. Not in some vague or distant kind of way. I mean in the very real, very local decisions that shape the places we live.
I’ve made no secret of my love for The Third Estate.
This London-based vegan shoe store and ethical boutique is the best place in the capital for compassionate fashionistas… and also non-fashiony people like me! Most of the shoes I’ve bought over the past decade have come from The Third Estate.
Following the success of the Kentish Town store and their online store, The Third Estate has a second physical location inside Greenwich Market.
I popped in a few days ago to say hello and was impressed by the huge selection of ethically-sourced bags on show.
Dauns is a much-loved Scandi vegan cafe in London. Their brunch plates are legendary and the regular clientele couldn’t be convinced to go anywhere else for their daily coffee and pastries.
The brains and muscle behind Dauns is Rickard. He cooks. He cleans. He does all the behind the scenes magic to make Dauns work.
But did you know Rickard is also a member of a band which is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a gig in North London this May?
