Top picks from Hackney Downs today

by

If you weren’t able to get along to Hackney Downs Vegan Market today, I’ve put together a small post showing some of my top picks.

Remember, this market takes place EVERY Saturday (unless otherwise advertised) and you can get freshly made food from some of the finest vegan street food traders in London.

OK. Here are my picks.

Sold out vegan events

by

What does a sold out vegan pop up event look like?

Just like this.

This was the scene last night as we hosted the sold out 5pm sitting of the Mexico City Feast Night at Black Cat Hackney with special guest Mariana Blanco of Los Loosers.

Mariana fed the delighted guests some of the best vegan Mexican food London has ever seen.

And you know what? We had so much fun, we did it twice.

The 8pm sitting was another sold out event.

These sold out dinners were in addition to the Day of the Dead event hosted at 10 Cable Street and the Mexican Ramen Night taking place at Vegan HQ tomorrow.

Much love to everyone who has joined us for these special events.

Be sure to follow Los Loosers on Instagram to see what all the fuss is about and get to Mexico City if and when you can to eat with the much-loved foodies.

Doppleganger burgers

by

After receiving 5 star reviews and enjoying a sell out string of pop-ups last month in Cambridge, Doppleganger Burgers are set to come to London in November.

At The Grocery, Kingsland Road on Friday 10th & Saturday 11th of November, 2017 attendees will have the opportunity to taste three of the company’s mouthwatering vegan burgers and sample their vegan date shakes.

Doppleganger Burgers are made from a marinated umami soya-protein patti, loaded with a range of signature toppings from vegan ‘bacon & cheeze’ to ‘hoision duck’, all served in a lightly toasted
bun.

Alfy Fowler, Founder and Head Chef at Doppleganger has said, “At Doppleganger we have one clear aim, to create 100% based plant based burgers that are accessible to everyone. Receiving such positive feedback from our last pop-up in Cambridge, we realised our next logical step was to come to London where the number of people in the capital adopting a vegan lifestyle has increased dramatically.”

Tickets to the pop-up event are limited and are available online here for £12.49 which includes a choice of
Doppleganger Burgers and a side of hand-cut fries. Diners will be able to purchase a selection of vegan wine and beer at the venue.

Best at VegfestUK London 2017

by

It is that time of year again. VegfestUK London is set to throw open its doors to consumers and activists this weekend (Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 October, 2017) at London Olympia.

The full show guide can be found online, but I wanted to highlight some of my top picks for the show.

Let’s take a look!

A post shared by Kizzyscookies (@kizzyscookies) on

I adore Kizzy’s Cookies. They are just the right amount of chewy.

A post shared by What The Pitta! (@whatthepitta) on

My number one pick for food vendor at the show this year is What The Pitta!. Stunning comfort food that I can’t get enough of.

I always make time for the vegan wagon wheels by Ananda’s.

Conscious Chocolate bars are exquisite and maybe the most luxurious treat I know.

Tofurky is one of the true superstar vegan brands on the planet and they will be selling their new gran and go sandwiches.

A vegan show is not a vegan show without Follow Your Heart. Get your Vegenaise at show prices!

A post shared by Fat Gay Vegan (@fatgayvegan) on

My book! I will be selling early release copies of my first ever book and will even be presenting some of the themes of the book during a talk in the auditorium on Saturday at 4pm.

You can buy your advance tickets for VegfestUK London online now.

The FGV book arrives early

by

Of course you all know I have a book being released in January 2018, right?

Fat Gay Vegan: Eat, Drink and Live Like You Give a Sh!t is being published by Nourish Books and is available to pre-order via Amazon right now.

But…

If you are super keen to read what I am calling my ‘manifesto for living a compassionate life’ and can’t wait until January, my publisher has made a limited number of copies available for VegfestUK London on October 21 and 22, 2017.

I will have 300 copies of my first ever book to sell from a stall on level three of the VegfestUK venue and I will be on hand for most of the weekend to chat with you about it.

I am also hosting a presentation in the auditorium on the Saturday at 4:00pm to talk about the themes of the book and explain my approach to veganism, how I think we can expand our compassion beyond caring for animals and where I think veganism is heading in the future.

In addition, I will be hosting an informal discussion about the importance of running local vegan markets and offering some tips for anyone interested in starting one on their area on Sunday at 2:00pm.

You can read about my VegfestUK London talks online here.

Hope to see you at the show!
