Vegan Feast in London on Xmas Day

by

Christmas can a weird time for vegans.

To make your Christmas Day celebration a lot more bearable, a legendary vegan restaurant in London has announced a spectacular menu meaning you can eat, relax, and enjoy your celebration without worrying about people waving bones in your face.

The time has come to say goodbye to London Vegan Social.

Vegan Supper Clubs in Godalming

by

Back in the early years of my veganism, supper clubs were all the rage.

There weren’t a lot of plant-based options in mainstream restaurants and vegan restaurants were thin on the ground, so enterprising food creators took it upon themselves to cook for hungry, kind people in their own homes.

It might sound a little strange to newbie vegans but we were all really up in each other’s houses eating multi-course meals. It was our way of enjoying adventurous cuisine while we waited for the rest of the world to catch up.

If you missed out on this sub-sultural phenomenom, there is great news.

Jhenn of RONIN Dining is still welcoming people into her home for exquisite, handcrafted meals that are simply unforgettable.
