Food at drinks

For some people, the best part of London Vegan Drinks is the food.

Check out the simple yet delicious-sounding menu for this Saturday night:

Eat before drinking

As you know due to my relentless excitement, London Vegan Beer Fest is less than three weeks away.

This year, the massive vegan beer, cider, wine, food and music event has moved to King’s Cross and I am thrilled to have some very special partners helping me make this possible.

Vegan store Vx will be running a merchandise stall inside the venue where you will be able to purchase LVBF t-shirts and posters, as well as a whole range of items from their own Secret Society of Vegans collection.

Fry’s Family Foods have teamed up with Sara Mittersteiner of Pomodoro E Basilico for a gourmet food stand like no other.

New Vegan Drinks

Post by:

You know, Berlin really is the city that keeps on giving, if you’re vegan. Hardly a week goes by without some new addition to the city’s vegan menu.

But one thing that Berlin has lacked is an equivalent to the London Vegan Drinks event… until now! (Well, until Friday 17th of July, anyway.)

Glorious food experience

It has taken me a while to get around to posting these photos, partly because I didn’t want to be reminded of the fact that this stunning food is served daily on the opposite side of the world.

If you have room for a new goal on your bucket list, scribble ‘Gracias Madre Los Angeles’ on a scrap of paper and throw it onto the pile of things you must experience before you kick it.

Gracias Madre is a 99.9% vegan restaurant (honey in some cocktails… don’t get me started!) located in West Hollywood with an original location still operating in the San Francisco area. We visited the WeHo outlet during a recent trip to Southern California so we could satisfy our cravings for vegan Mexican food.

Let me give the page over to the photos as I believe they don’t need much help in conveying the glory of the food crafted and served by Gracias Madre

Dairy milk in vegan venue

One of the great things about Berlin is that there seems to be so many new vegan places to visit, it’s difficult to keep up!

A visit by my sister last weekend was the perfect opportunity to try somewhere we hadn’t been before, so we took a break from sightseeing and let the U-Bahn take us away from the tourist hordes, down to Neukölln, where there’s a new vegan tapas bar called Alaska. (I neglected to ask about the bizarre name, perhaps that particular US state is noted for its Spanish cuisine?)

It’s a really lovely place, a real oasis on a rather run-down street. Nicely decorated and comfortable, with a pleasant atmosphere, prompt service and very friendly multilingual staff.

Vodka in food

I love eating and I love drinking booze, so why not combine the two?

I wanted to make something special for the final London Vegan Potluck this week. Four years is a long time for a community event and I felt a supreme effort for my last supper was in order.

The starting point for my Drunk Seitan was this recipe by Vanessa at Essential Vegan. It is completely hassle-free and I get perfect results every single time.

Vanessa’s recipe calls for lemon juice which I switched out for yellow mustard in a moment of inspiration, but the vodka sauce was the thing to seal the deal.
Here is how I made the sauce:
