London vegan news, reviews & events
I was strolling through Old Spitalfields Market yesterday, looking for food with a spot of sugar.
My main aim was to pick up a sweet treat or two from Polka Dot Bakery, the marvellous vegan and gluten-free bakery business usually found in those parts on the weekend.
But the stall was nowhere to be seen… and a little digging online showed that I need to wait until later in the year for its return.

If there is one thing I love about independent vegan businesses, it is when they refuse to stand still. Constantly creating, experimenting, and dreaming up new treats is exactly what keeps people coming back, and Sheffield’s Trupig Vegan has turned that into an art form.

I’m currently in Tokyo and I’ve been blown away by the vegan food scene.
Vegan ramen restaurants, bakeries, and even a 100% plant-based gyoza eatery. There is no shortage of places to eat and no matter where you find yourself in the Japanese megacity, you are never far from a vegan spot.

I’m jumping onto the blog today to tell you about two exclusive vegan Easter treats being served in London THIS weekend ONLY.
You’ll remember my friend Chanel and her superstar vegan bakery business called Cake Cult London, right?
Cake Cult started out years ago under the name Vegan Delice and Chanel went on to trade at many of my events around the capital and even eventually had her own bakery shop.
I’m dropping in to day to let you know that Chanel’s business is still going strong and churning out delicious baked treats for special order.

There is a shop on Hoxton Street in London that you really need to experience for yourself.
Hoxton Street Monster Supplies is a wonderfully strange and imaginative retail space dedicated to serving the needs of monsters. Shelves are filled with curious sweets (sometimes vegan), candles, trinkets, books, writing materials, and household items that look as though they belong in the cupboard of a friendly creature who lives under your bed.

This isn’t a big news day around FGV HQ today, but I do want to remind you about one of my favourite vegan bakeries in London.
