I don’t have a lot of energy or brain capacity tonight. I’m worn out.
I just got home from a full day out at Veganuary Fest at Signature Brew in Walthamstow. This vegan market was organised by Feed The Village and I was invited along to help co-host.
It was a wonderful event with so much community goodwill but it was also an extremely long day for me. I was out in the cold for more hours than I would normally enjoy, but weirdly the food highlight for me was something much more suited to summer.
Do you ever find yourself walking past the non-vegan cookie shops scattered around the UK and thinking to yourself, “If only there was a vegan version of this type of thing”?
I know most of my readers are located in the UK, but I couldn’t resist sharing this news with you.
VeganYumm is a 100% vegan bakery located in the northern suberbs of Brisbane, Australia and it is one of the most enjoyable places to eat on the planet.
I shout about about The Polka Dot Bakery a lot, so you’ll all be familiar with it by now. Right?
It is a 100% vegan and gluten free home baking business that trades each weekend in Spitalfields Market. The sweet treats by Polka Dot are delicous and comforting.
I’m stopping by today to let you know about some special festive treats added to the bakery’s line up for the next few weekends.
There are certain people in the vegan scene who remind me why I still get excited about small businesses and independent makers, and today I want to tell you about one of them.
Her name is Karina, and if you have been anywhere near Maltby Street Market over the past few years you have probably already fallen in love with something she has pulled out of the oven.
Among the piles of vegetables and artisan chutneys at markets there’s something even more exciting appearing in bigger and bigger numbers.
Vegan bakery stalls!
Across the UK, from Leeds to Bristol and from Glasgow to Brighton, talented plant-based bakers are setting up tables laden with doughnuts, cookies, and pastries that could make anyone weak at the knees. It’s an incredible movement that deserves celebrating.
