There is a trend sweeping social media today that involves using software to generate a best 9 list on Instagram.
Without too much pomp and ceremony, here is a collage of the most ‘liked’ photos from my Instagram account during 2015.
Enjoy!

London favourites
At least a few times a week I am asked to name my favourite, must-eat vegan dishes in London.
The list of food and drink I can’t live without in the capital changes now and again, but here is the current crop of things that make me go “Yummers!” in London.
Get ready to work your way through Fat Gay Vegan’s Top 13 Things to Consume in London.
Indian street food
Honestly.
How could you not be impressed by this spread of vegan Indian food I ordered at Bundobust in Leeds?
Check it out.
Better and better
Some vegan places are happy to rest on their laurels, serving up the same quality of food and the same menu month after month.
But not Black Cat Café in Hackney.
I have been incredibly impressed by the food served up by Black Cat over the past two years. The menu changes regularly to reflect seasonal availability and old menu items are brought back with slight tweaks and improvements.
Check out these glorious dishes served to me recently.
Massive vegan menu
I have never been to a non-vegan restaurant that caters for vegans quite like FED by water in London.
Their separate vegan menu is huge. Check out the video below showing one page of starters, two pages of pizza and calzone, one page of pasta dishes and one page of salads. All vegan!
How much is too much?
I like to buy vegan food and I have the perfect excuse. This blog.
When I see something new in the supermarket, I usually justify the expense by telling myself I have a duty to my readers to share the information.
It is rare for something I want to not end up in my shopping basket and you are all to blame!
But yesterday I hit a wall. Would you pay the asking price for these seasonal chocolates? I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
Best dessert ever
Dear everyone.
This is the best dessert in the history of desserts.
Recipe:
- Take one large Vego bar
- Heat it until it is liquid (microwave or saucepan over moderate heat)
- Fill a bowl with vegan vanilla ice cream
- Pour hot liquid over ice cream
- Devour
Additional steps:
- Lick the bowl/cup/saucepan in which you melted the chocolate for added pleasure
- Ask a friend to wash everything to allow you time to run to the shop for another Vego bar
- Die happy

One of the biggest coffee chains in the UK has started selling a vegan sweet treat just in time for Christmas.
Check it out below!
New vegan wrap
This isn’t the most exciting sandwich news you will hear this week, but I do think it is cause to celebrate whenever a massive company decides to use the ‘v’ word so noticeably.
Check out the new falafel and houmous wrap being sold by Caffe Nero around the UK. I spotted this display in their Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 outlet.
It is certainly not going to win any innovation awards, but it is fab seeing ‘vegan’ on display in a chain store with approximately 600 locations around the country.
Have you tried this wrap? What is your verdict?

New sandwich on the block
Get ready to sink your teeth into this brand new vegan sandwich from one of the most widespread High Street chains in the UK.
Yes. Pret has unleashed another vegan sandwich, this time in the form of a baguette filled with grilled artichokes, red tapenade and spinach.
With almost 300 stores scattered across the UK, this tasty-looking sandwich shouldn’t be too far from you right now.
Have you tried? Did you like?
