Jordan Bourzig is a vegan chef, nutritionist, and all-around plant-based genius and he is ready to guide you through a four-hour masterclass this March (2025) that will make your kitchen feel like a chic Parisian bistro.
Club Mexicana is at it again, making sure London is drowning in delicious vegan tacos. And this time, they’re taking over the kitchen at Queen of Hoxton.
Permanently!
A few days ago, I had the absolute pleasure of catching up with my old friend Wendy Turner Webster.
Let me tell you… she is just as wonderful, inspiring, and passionate as ever!
A short and sweet post to tell you about one of the most-enjoyable vegan plates of food you can currently devour in London.
Take a look at my wonderful waffles and if you wanna know where to grab them, keep reading below the photo.
C’mon, London!
Life in the UK capital can be a tough slog with extortionate rents and public transport that could test the patience of a saint, but it also brings us the occasional reason to celebrate.
Say hello (again!) to the Temple Ugly burger, a limited edition menu item in partnership between social media legend Ugly Vegan and Temple of Seitan.
Take a look at this beauty. Ain’t it a little ripper?!
Keep reading below to discover how eating this burger will also raise money for charity.
Friends. This is a one day only kinda situation.
Take a look at this incredible vegan roast dinner and as you are admiring the plate, understand that it is available this Sunday only in London.
Here is an incredible opportunity to join an intimate cookery class in the heart of Hackney during March 2025.

Discover tips and techniques for balancing flavors, enhancing presentation, and preparing a meal that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
By the end, you’ll be ready to host a vegan dining event with confidence and flair!
This exclusive cookery class is being led by celebrated food creator and chef, Helen Graham.
When most people think about veganism, their minds go straight to food. And fair enough. What we eat is a huge part of living a compassionate lifestyle.
But being a conscious consumer doesn’t stop at what’s on our plate.
Beyond food, there are countless ways to reduce harm and make more ethical choices in everyday life. From the clothes we wear to the beauty products we use, every purchase is an opportunity to support businesses that align with our values.
One area often overlooked is personal care services like hairdressers and beauty salons. Traditional products used in these industries often include animal-derived ingredients or can be tested on animals. That’s why it’s fantastic to see vegan-friendly options popping up, giving consumers cruelty-free alternatives.
If you’re looking for a night of Queer creativity, community, and good vibes, you need to get yourself to Queer Open Mic this Sunday in South London.
I started the open mic about two years ago with my friend Josh as we wanted to create a safe and supportive space for LGBTQ+ performers in London because, let’s be real, not all open mic nights are as welcoming as they should be.
Worshipping celebrity vegans can often be a problematic endeavour.
Holding up and celebrating famous people as vegans has often come back to bite our community in the backside.
Miley was championed as an ethical vegan for years right up until she went on the Joe Rogan podcast to tell the world she was eating animals again.
One of my childhood heroes, Drew Barrymore, also went down a similar route. Drew lived as a vegan for years but over the past decade or more had dipped in and out of plant-based eating sporadically. The superstar does promote a lot of vegan food, but it feels as though the argument for ethical veganism is somewhat diluted by her suggesting it’s cool to chop and change on a whim.
I am not really here to drag ex-vegan celebrities (and I do still love both of the mentioned performers. I mean, Flowers is a fabulous song), rather I’d love to shout out a vegan celebrity I feel more comfortable endorsing.
So take a look at who I bumped into yesterday at legendary vegan fried chicken shop, Temple of Seitan.
