Win a year’s supply of vegan sweets

by

This competition is all about the win/win.

By simply taking part, you will be raising funds for an important social enterprise that is helping tackle homelessness in London. And if you win the comp? You get a one year’s supply of vegan pick n mix.

Oh, yes. You actually can’t lose! Well, you might not win the sweets but you get the meaning. You win by helping.

I suppose you want facts now. Well, I’ve got ’em.

Poster Bakes is an online vegan pick n mix shop founded to raise funds in support of The Connection, a social enterprise helping people move away from the streets of London and towards a happier and more fulfilling life.

The price of a single bag of sweets from Poster Bakes could cover the cost of someone receiving a shower, breakfast, and a cup of coffee in The Connection which in turn opens the doors to more in-depth support.

The vegan pick n mix initiative has been incredibly popular and I have a feeling it is about to go into overdrive.

You can enter this competition for a chance to win one year’s supply of vegan pick n mix from Poster Bakes! You just need to buy some sweets and find a golden ticket in your order.

It’s getting all Willy Wonka up in here!

The competition starts Monday 14th June, 2021 and will be running for a few weeks until Poster Bakes have sent out all their golden tickets tickets.

They will be randomly giving away 5 golden tickets in total, each of which will entitle the winner to a year’s supply of free sweets (a 500g bag every month for 12 months). Winners will be chosen at random from those who have entered the giveaway. This is what you need to do:

I’d love to know if you entered and I’d love to know if you win. Don’t forget who hooked you up with this info if you are suddenly swamped with vegan pick n mix.

Win Follow Your Heart Products with FGV

by

What would you say if I told you I want to give you four bottles of the creamiest, most-delicious vegan salad dressings on the market?

And what would you say about getting these bottles, made by one of the longest-lasting and best vegan companies on the planet, for free?

Fat Gay Vegan (that’s me!) has teamed up with Follow Your Heart to give one lucky person a delivery of four of the most sought-after vegan products in the UK.

But before I tell you what you can win and how you can win it, let me tell you a little bit about Follow Your Heart.

Follow Your Heart began in 1970 when founders Michael, Bob, Paul, and Spencer opened a seven-seat soup, salad, and sandwich counter in the back of a small natural food store in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California.

What followed has been nothing short of a runaway success story that now sees a huge range of Follow Your Heart vegan products sold in countries all over the globe. These products include plant-based cheeses and the legendary Vegenaise, the mayo alternative that paved the way for countless imitators.

In 2020, Follow Your Heart is a vibrant, ethical company invested in looking after the people working with them, while they also fight the good fight for animals and the environment.

They are decent people making amazing vegan products!

OK. Enough of the love fest. On with the winning.

One winner will be randomly chosen to receive a delivery of the following salad dressings:

  • High Omega Vegan Bleu Cheese Dressing
  • High Omega Vegan Ranch Salad Dressing
  • Vegan Honey Mustard Salad Dressing
  • Organic Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing

These salad dressings are versatile and perfect for any time of the year. Dress your favourite greens or salads, drizzle over roast potatoes, or even use them as a dip for your favourite vegan wings or nuggets.

How can you win? Simple.

That’s it. One follower will be chosen at random to receive a delivery of the salad dressings.

The competition will close at midnight UK time on Monday October 19, 2020. Winner must be UK mainland resident. I’ll contact the winner and Follow Your Heart will arrange delivery of the prize.

Get following and hopefully get winning.

You can buy Follow Your Heart dressings in the UK at The Vegan Kind Supermarket, Alternative Stores, Whole Foods Market, Planet Organic and various independent health food stores.

Now it’s competition time!

The kind people at Heaven + Hellthy want to ship a cookie making box to one FGV reader. This is how we are going to run the comp:

  • Write a tweet tagging both @FatGayVegan and @heavennhellthy
  • Use #WinWithFGV
  • Include ‘Cookies = ?’ but replace the ‘?’ with one word. For example, your tweet might look like this – #WinWithFGV Cookies = happiness @FatGayVegan @heavennhellthy

This isn’t a complicated comp and I’ll be picking the winner based on what makes me smile.

The Twitter comp will run until midnight Sunday August 7, 2016 UK time. I will contact the winner to ask for delivery details that will be passed on to Heaven + Hellthy.

Enter as many times as you like. Get busy!

New vegan cookbook

by

You all know tibits, right?

This central London restaurant and bar has for many years been a favourite haunt of compassionate diners, especially since they have made every Tuesday ‘vegan day’ on their self service food boat.

The vegetarian restaurant appears to exploring the vegan angle more and more these days, with the latest big news being the release of a 100% vegan recipe collection called Vegan Love Story.

80 plant-based recipes are housed in a gorgeous hardcover, accompanied by enticing colour photos. It really is a joy to flick through.

You can buy the new vegan cookbook by tibits (in partnership with Zurich restaurant Hiltl – the oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world) by popping into the restaurant on Heddon Street in Mayfair, or online here.

Let’s hope this book is another step in the journey of tibits becoming a fully vegan restaurant.

How would you like to win a copy of the vegan cookbook by tibits?
