Vegan palm oil
Palm oil continues to be one of the fiercest hot topics for vegans and people concerned with environmental protection.
It is thought of as one of the most destructive crops on the planet and many vegans staunchly refuse to purchase products containing the oil crop.
Most of this talk focusses on palm oil production in southeast Asia due to extensive deforestation associated with the industry. Opponents cite loss of habitat and death to primates on a large scale as main reasons to campaign against the crop.
During my time at the Just V Show in London this weekend, I purchased the following jar of palm oil that just happened to be labelled with The Vegan Society trademark.
Best accidentally vegan snack ever
I love a good ‘accidentally vegan’ snack.
Check out this gorgeous packet of wafers gifted to me last night by new-to-London Julian. He popped along to London Vegan Drinks last night and gave me this sweet treat.

A review of Chutneys Indian Restaurant
Earlier this week, I headed up to Drummond Street near Euston Station in London for an Indian meal with friends. This street has multiple Indian restaurants including three vegetarian; Chutneys, Diwana Bhel Puri House and Ravi Shankar. We opted for Chutneys, so read on to find out whether we made the right choice.
Food at drinks
For some people, the best part of London Vegan Drinks is the food.
Check out the simple yet delicious-sounding menu for this Saturday night:
Gorgeous pop up
Are you busy Friday and Saturday evenings? (July 3 and 4, 2015)
Well, scrap your plans because you are now heading to Fortify Cafe in Maidstone for this gorgeous vegan pop up dinner.
Check out the menu.
Eat before drinking
As you know due to my relentless excitement, London Vegan Beer Fest is less than three weeks away.
This year, the massive vegan beer, cider, wine, food and music event has moved to King’s Cross and I am thrilled to have some very special partners helping me make this possible.
Vegan store Vx will be running a merchandise stall inside the venue where you will be able to purchase LVBF t-shirts and posters, as well as a whole range of items from their own Secret Society of Vegans collection.
Fry’s Family Foods have teamed up with Sara Mittersteiner of Pomodoro E Basilico for a gourmet food stand like no other.
Check the menu out below:
New Vegan Drinks
Post by:
You know, Berlin really is the city that keeps on giving, if you’re vegan. Hardly a week goes by without some new addition to the city’s vegan menu.
But one thing that Berlin has lacked is an equivalent to the London Vegan Drinks event… until now! (Well, until Friday 17th of July, anyway.)
New vegan grocery store
Here is some excellent news.
Birmingham (in the UK, not Alabama USA) is about to get a brand new vegan retail outlet. This will be the second 100% vegan shop in the city. Geez, Birmingham. Don’t be so greedy!
Get a sneaky look inside the still-being-built shop below and read what the owner has to say about the new outlet which just happens to be named Vegan Store. Catchy, right?
Tortilla chips from Sainsbury’s
I found a new food love today.
Sainsbury’s has launched a new range of tortilla chips and two of the flavours are marked as being vegan. You can see the two packs in the photo below.
