It has been brought to my attention that this person supplied these photos to me without explaining they did not take them and that they were not even of vegan food. Follow up post coming soon!
END UPDATE
Oh my Gaga!
There is a new vegan sweet treats company starting up in London and you people have got to take a look at this goodness.
Vegan Sweet Porn is a new pop market stall selling some of the finest-looking cake on the island. Can you even stand looking at that cookie shot glass?
This is a super interesting idea for raising the profile of a new vegan food business.
Thunderclap.
A person named Justin is currently drumming up interest in a new vegan project set to open in London. Justin is planning to launch a frozen banana dessert bar called Nanabar and wants to use social media to get word out about it.
The campaign involves asking people to register a social media account and on July 4, 2016 a message announcing the project will be sent simultaneously from all participating Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr accounts.
It’s a smart way of spreading the news of a new vegan business to hundreds of thousands of people all at once.
Click here to hear from Justin, sign up to help spread the word and be part of a unique promotional event for a new vegan venture.
How about flying your vegan flag proudly while at the same time supporting an amazing art show in London?
Check out these details sent in by Louise:
ANIMUS is an international group show exploring human treatment of other animals, as well as the vegan identity and what it means to see with ‘our’ eyes. The aim is to support animals hidden from the public gaze to be seen. Animals will feature in all works, and provide the overarching theme.
We’re showing some of the most celebrated vegan artists, like Sue Coe (Graphic Artist/UK & US), Jo-anne McArthur (Photographer/Canada), Roger Olmos (Illustrator/Spain), and Amy Guidry (Surrealist Painter/US) whose painting Mother Nature is the featured image for this campaign and will be an exhibit. Also Philip McCulloch Downs (Painter/UK), Matthew Maran (Photographer/UK), and Jana Schirmer (Digital artist/Germany).
To celebrate this exhibition, we are hosting a magical evening at the Private View at Kabaret @ Karamel on Friday July 29, 2016 with speakers, a party later with DJs, and of course the chance to take in the exhibition itself, and mingle with fellow art lovers.
We’ll also be hosting representatives from our supporters: The Vegan Society, and Vegan Life magazine.
The official opening party for this groundbreaking exhibition – the first by Vegan artists- is entry by INVITATION ONLY – which you get when you contribute £10 (or more) to our crowd-funding campaign. A free glass of wine & nibbles are included! Click here to donate & secure your invitation.
We can’t wait for this exciting event and look forward to meeting you there!
Click here for the Facebook event for the launch party and even if you cannot attend, donate now to help this show happen!
Do you remember reading about the drama vegan café Buttercream Dreams was experiencing in Croydon. You can read about it here, but the short story is owner Lauren needed new premises and was going to have to leave Croydon and mover her business to central London if she couldn’t find something suitable.
She couldn’t find a venue. Sorry Croydon.
Lauren is now set to open the Camden version of Buttercream Dreams at 126 Camden Road from Thursday 9th June, 2016. Yes, THIS week!
Before the café opens just steps away from Camden Road train station this Thursday, I wanted to share some of their tasty food photos with you.
All of the above photos have been featured on the Buttercream Dreams Facebook page, which you should like NOW!
London, get along to support this new adventure for Lauren in Camden.
Croydon, all is not lost for you either.
Lauren has advised she will continue to keep doing a stall at the Surrey Street Market in Croydon and will keep looking for a suitable shop front. When she can find one, Buttercream Dreams will have two fabulous permanent locations.
Do you want luscious donuts? Not baked donuts that are kinda OK and almost like the real thing, but rather fried donuts with irresistible frostings, glazes and toppings?
London, you need to get friendly with Peanut Butter Bakery.
Lauren runs this baking business out of her home and has just started trading every Saturday at the legendary Boiler House market on Brick Lane.
How good do they look?
Like the Peanut Butter Bakery Facebook page to keep up with the latest news and get along to Brick Lane this weekend to buy a few delicious donuts.
Everything sold by Benny Buttons is 100% vegan and the base for everything they make is fresh young green coconuts.
The food stall makes gluten free coconut and buckwheat flour pancakes with coconut salted caramel and raw chocolate as well as hot coconut water health teas in the winter and fresh coconuts with shots of ginger/turmeric, mint/parsley/coriander and pineapple.
Get raw vegan food. Every weekend. From a food truck!
That’s the fab news for London.
Not in London? Better news for you involves the truck hitting the road this summer!
Details below.
Amrutha is a gorgeous-looking raw vegan food truck that not only has a recurring Sunday pitch in the Nomadic Community Gardensnear Brick Lane, it is also being readied to travel the UK for a number of festivals throughout the summer.
Before I show you the food photos, I need to point you in the direction of the Amrutha website, their Facebook page, their pics on Instagram and of course Twitter.
Follow the vegan food business on one or all of those platforms to check out the menu and discover news of upcoming events, festivals, private catering opportunities and food preparation classes.
Hold onto your hats people because this post will have you drooling! Mellissa Morgan, owner of fabulous London bakery Ms. Cupcake, recently shared a picture with me of her family dinner at Top Dog Soho. It all looked and sounded incredible… Fried Pickles, Chilli Cheese Fries, Smoked Tofu Dogs… and more! Check it out:
I headed straight over to the Top Dog Soho website where, to my delight, I discovered that they proudly have a dedicated vegan menu and boast that:
All of our vegan dishes are cooked separately including a dedicated fryer and special prep area so as to avoid any cross-contamination.
Hooray! This is the way to impress vegan customers! I can’t wait to get back to London and work my way through the menu.
This big consumer food and lifestyle show takes place at London Olympia every year and there is always a big selection of vegan food brands mixed in with a wide variety of stalls.
As you can see from the image above, the show runs between July 8 and July 10, 2016. You might also notice that the banner above mentions free tickets.
