Have you ever seen anything like it?
Last week I went on another ridiculous shopping expedition to the Vegan Ville grocery store here in Mexico City and I came out one very happy FGV indeed.

Beer and food night
South west London, you don’t get a lot of vegan events but this one will make it feel worth the wait.
Weird Beard Brewing Co has teamed up with The Beer Boutique of Putney to stage a one-off beer and food event called Weird Vegans.
What’s in store for the vegan and vegan-sympathetic who venture down to the beer specialist this Tuesday (February 23, 2016)?
Here is a short description of the event:
Weird Beard hero and affirmed beardless veganist Natasha will be joining us to drink beer and talk veganism for an evening of fine foods and cracking ales. To say this will be a guilt free event would be a lie, as the days of the prototypical emaciated vegan are long gone – and we welcome the rise of the sleazy vegan, the sporty vegan, the greasy vegan, the gluttonous vegan, the sneezy vegan, and the intoxicated vegan.
Tickets are priced at just £15 and can be bought online here.
Have a ridiculously-good time if you decide to go along!
C-A-L-F cash
Vegans and animal-friendly people are rallying hard around C-A-L-F Sanctuary in North Yorkshire.
When it was announced that the sanctuary needed £80,000 to survive following an impending closure notice (yes, £80,000!), a lot of people felt a sense of doom for the animals housed at C-A-L-F. How was it going to be possible to raise such a huge amount of money?
With the help of compassionate people, that’s how!
C-A-L-F supporters have dug deep and at the time of writing this blog post, more than £40,000 has been raised for the campaign.
This is heartening. More than 50% of the target met means C-A-L-F can raised everything they need with a little more of a push.
Here is how you can help:
- donate whatever spare change/cash you have to the campaign (if everyone who visited this blog in a month gave £1, the target would be met in no time at all)
- make vegan cupcakes, sell them and donate the profits
- do a collection at work, school and home for donations
- sell some unwanted goods/clothes on eBay and donate the money
- share this blog post far and wide
- follow C-A-L-F on Twitter and Facebook
- buy something from the C-A-L-F online shop
- buy a gift for someone else from the online shop
Come on. The target is huge but not insurmountable if we all stick together.
Do it for the rescued farm animals who deserve a forever home.
Review: Green Eggs Cafe in Philadelphia
Post by:
On my last day in Philly, my brother and I wanted a hearty breakfast before he dropped me off at the airport. Thanks (once again) to the HappyCow app, I discovered that just around the corner from his place is an establishment called Green Eggs Cafe and despite the name, they have decent vegan options.
Food in a box
I’m annoyed. I leave London for an extended time and all the good stuff happens.
My pal Gabi emailed me last week to tell me about an incredible food delivery service recently launched in central London.
I scooted over to the MOJO-BOX website to find out why Gabi was so excited and as soon as I saw the food photos, I knew the hype was justified.
After drooling over the food photos, I messaged the company to discover more.
This is what they told me:
I love cruising
Do you all remember when I was talking about a vegan cruise down the Danube? Sure you do. It was all I spoke about on my blog for six months!
It has taken me a while to process the experience and now I feel just about ready to share a fraction of some of the hundreds of photos I took during this once in a lifetime experience. Boarding the ship was like stepping into a completely vegan world and everything you could want or need was at your fingertips.
I even got my haircut onboard!
Before you get busy scrolling below to see my cabin, food and sightseeing photos, I want to also tell you I am joining forces with Vegan River Cruises for two glorious vacations in 2016. Yes, two 100% luxury vegan cruises to choose from this year.
The first cruise will be a 7 night/8 day cruise along the Rhône in the south of France. I’m not sure I need to sell too hard with this one. It’s the south of France in late October 2016!
All your food, all your drink and some of the most glorious Autumn weather in Europe? Yes, please. See you on the ship! Click here to see all the details and to book your cabin.
I did say I will be on two luxury vegan cruises in 2016. Here is the second.
I am thrilled to be taking part in the Vegan River Cruises trip between December 29, 2016 and January 4, 2017 as it takes in the glorious waterways of the Netherlands and Belgium.
Starting in Amsterdam before docking in Brussels for New Year’s Eve, this Winter cruise is going to be the height of relaxation as we glide past windmill-studded countryside. Get in early if you want one of the best cabins. Click here for info and booking.
OK. Now those photos I promised you from my recent NYE vegan cruise down the Danube.
Good looking vegan food
I don’t know about you, but the following photos are some of the best looking vegan food I’ve ever seen in London.
Those pics are just about enough to make me wanna fly back from Mexico.
Do you recognise where these scrumptious dishes are being served?

Vegan food in Miami
Post by:
A couple of weeks ago I landed at Miami airport and had a long drive across the Everglades before heading north to Gulfport ahead of me. This didn’t leave me very much time for lunch, so I quickly checked the HappyCow app to find the nearest place and luckily found something en route in the western suburbs of Miami.
