London is an expensive city and you don’t get a lot for free.
But now Club Mexicana is giving you a chance to rectify that with a week’s worth of free vegan lunches in the heart of the city.

Goodbye Jill Sobule
This is a blog mostly about vegan or vegan-adjacent things, but every now and then something else feels important enough for me to share with you.
Read on for a love letter to a life well lived and a voice that mattered. I am commemorating Jill Sobule.

Trans Rights, Bath Bombs, And A Bit Of Hope On The High Street
You know how sometimes a vegan bath bomb is more than just a vegan bath bomb? This is one of those times.
LUSH, the high street favourite known for fizzy tubs and bold campaigns, has launched something that genuinely made me pause and smile. And not just because it smells lovely or looks cute sitting on the side of your bath.
The Liberation bath bomb is all about standing up for trans lives and celebrating the kind of future we should all want to live in.

Why Vegans Should Care About Trans Rights
Sometimes people ask why I talk about more than just food on this blog. Shouldn’t a vegan blog just be about plant-based eating, restaurant tips, and which vegan sausage roll is London’s finest?
For me, veganism has always been about more than what’s on the plate.
If we’re talking about justice for animals, how can we ignore justice for people? If we’re pushing back against systems that profit from suffering, how can we turn a blind eye when those systems hurt our fellow humans?
That’s why I believe vegan activists should care about trans rights.

New Podcast: Episode 41
The latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast is online now for your viewing and listening (dis)pleasure.
In this DIY podcast, Josh and I talk about whatever comes to mind. So, what comes to mind in episode 41?
The conversation this week deals with the emotional rollercoaster of clothes shopping to reflections on the passing of Pope Francis and the process of picking a replacement.
We also have a lot to say about celebrity space flights. Katy Perry joined Jeff Bezos’s pointless rocket club and we ask why billionaires are wasting resources on space tourism when there is so much work to do here on Earth.
Along the way, we chat about vegan potluck etiquette, the reality of supporting local businesses over Amazon, and the gay acting expertise of Stanley Tucci.

Vegan Baked Treats Shipped UK Wide
One of the most memorable days of my life was my wedding day in Sheffield back in 2021.
If you can remember those confusing times, it was during one of the lockdowns or partial lockdowns. Such a shit time. Despite the uncertainty and the strange atmosphere of the world, it was a truly magical day filled with love, joy and, of course, cake.
Not just any cake. A vegan wedding cake.

Neat Burger Is Closing But That Doesn’t Mean Veganism Is Failing
I was scrolling recently when I saw a headline that made my heart sink a little. Another vegan food outlet shutting its doors. Not just any outlet either, but Neat Burger, the high-profile chain backed by none other than Lewis Hamilton.
It’s not a great feeling seeing a business dedicated to plant-based food disappear from our streets, but I remain hopeful and don’t see this a failing of veganism.
