Some good news for Londoners looking for vegan AND gluten free donuts.
Hopstop Donuts is a newish donut trader appearing at markets and events around the capital and today I (hop)stopped by their stall in Upmarket food hall on Brick Lane.
I noticed something today that left me feeling a little deflated.
Holy Carrot has opened a new location in Spitalfields Market, just a short walk from Liverpool Street station in central London. Some of you will remember that Holy Carrot first made waves with its Knightsbridge restaurant, a fully vegan dining destination that proudly showcased plant-based food in a refined and creative setting.
But the days of their menu being fully vegan appear to be over.
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.
I haven’t done any sort of ‘best of’ or ‘wrap up’ blog post in a long time. That kind of content requires discipline and I just don’t possess enough of that quality.
Instead, here is a lazy list of 5 things recently eaten by me that were impressive AND that I would eat again.
I finally made it along to beloved vegan venue Love Shack in East London for the first time ever yesterday and was completely bowled over by the mouthwatering comfort food.
I absolutely adore being part of the regular supper club series at Unity Diner in London.
Not only do these events raise funds for Surge Sanctuary (I wrote about them yesterday) but they are also a showcase of just how special plant-based dining can be.
If you want to see what all the excitement is about, I’m hosting a Spring-themed dinner at Unity in a few weeks.
