Comida mexicana gratis

by

Are you available on Wednesday November 21, 2012 at 6:30pm? “Maybe” I hear you say? What if I told you I am hosting an event in conjunction with Google Local at a Mexican restaurant where all attendees will be treated to free vegan food and a tequila tasting? Of course you are available!

Eight people will join me in feasting on vegan Mexican delights and a sampling of fine tequilas picked out exclusively for our event. All at no cost to them.

How do you get an invite?

Get over to the Google event page and RSVP. Then follow the instructions on securing a place. I ate in the restaurant recently and believe me when I say you will adore the experience.

This event is taking place just a short walk from Euston and Warren Street.

How is this looking on me?

Every now and then a vegan company comes along and gets all the pieces of the puzzle in place perfectly. There is demand. There is a strong product. There is a unique look.

Welcome to the world, Vegan Faces.

Bowl for Oceans

On Sunday January 6, 2013 you will not want to be anywhere else other than The Kingpin Suite near Russell Square in Central London. Compassionate party goers are set to really warm up this mid-Winter weekend with bowling, karaoke, music and a full bar at the Bloomsbury Lanes complex.

Free event in North London

by

If the idea of attending a free event that involves vegan food, relaxation and swapping goods with likeminded souls appeals to you, you are going to love this day out in North London.

I was recently contacted by Mia and asked to pass on this information regarding the event she is hosting. The floor is yours, Mia:

We’re holding a Free Christmas Fair on 25 November, 2012 at Pakeman Primary School, Holloway N7 from 10:30am. During this event there will be a ‘give and take’ which will include clothes, books, toys etc. We will be having film viewings (Forks Over Knives, Story of Stuff and No Impact Man) as well as services like Reiki, massage and maybe a yoga class. All for free.

The event is run by volunteers who are donating their time just for the love of it.

We are also asking people to bring a vegan dish to the event so we can share in some yummy vegan food. Those who might not have tried vegan dishes before could be able to taste them.

All offers of help, especially food contributions would be very gratefully received!

To get involved or to find out more information, email Mia miadukelow AT aol.com or visit the Facebook event page

London needs to eat more Vedge

by

London is a fabulous city, but it is missing a certain something… vegan fine dining.

I am aware that we have an amazing and growing array of plant-based foods to choose from, but I am talking about high end service and exquisitely hand-crafted cuisine. There isn’t anything, right? Well, now you can be part of a movement to help change this in the most marvellous way imaginable.

Never again

by

Sit back, relax and enjoy a brief review of one restaurant I will probably never eat in again.

Josh and I were on our way to the West Midlands Vegan Festival when hunger struck. A bit of vegan keyword searching, followed by a touch of Google mapping, and we were standing inside a vegetarian restaurant located in the town of West Bromwich. The name of the establishment? Jalapeños.

In too deep

by

Whenever you eat vegan food in a non-vegan establishment, you really are at the mercy of the place. I recently found out that one of my favourite non-vegan vegan food suppliers was maybe not taking my food choices as seriously as I was.

Does this story have a happy ending? Read on…

NuGo for it!

I miss the USA for a few reasons.

I miss the constant sunshine and warmth of Southern California. I miss loved ones. I miss my favourite restaurants such as Native Foods, Flore, Vedge and Veggie Grill. I miss Homegrown Smoker. I miss Las Vegas. I miss New York City. I miss the Florida Keys. I miss Sunday afternoon beer busts in gay dive bars. I miss the prevalence of spoken Spanish.

And I desperately miss these products…

Calm yourself

by

I am seriously into the grand, sweeping vegan announcements such as new restaurant openings and scandalous posts about non-vegan food being sold to plant-eaters. It must be the drama that attracts me.

But a FGV needs to decompress now and again. I can’t live my whole life at 10. Sometimes I need to relax and cruise around the 2 or 3 dial. That is why you get a post like this one today. It’s for my mental wellbeing.
