London vegan news, reviews & events
Vegan snacks. I eat a lot of them and one of my favourites is this tub of piri piri houmous by Sainsbury’s. It is true that I would probably eat most things with a clearly-visible vegan symbol, but this is special in it’s own right. My advice: best eaten with corn chips.
Are there dips and spreads you think I should try? I’m always willing to experiment for the sake of the blog!
What’s better than a gorgeous vegan meal in a convenient central London location? A 10% discount off your total bill at the end of your meal, that’s what!
I had the pleasure of working with Saf Restaurant & Bar to help deliver a memorable dinner party on New Year’s Eve and now I get the thrill of offering a special discount to all my readers.
Saf reached out to ask if my readers would like a discount to dine with them until February 28th, 2014 at a 10% discount. I said, “Of course!”.
The restaurant has an attractive menu featuring raw starters, hearty mains, irresistible desserts and an impressive selection of vegan drinks. I truly believe it is the leader of the pack in London at the moment for vegan dining.
How do you get the discount?
See this and other photos over on my Instagram account.
Dinner tonight was this lovely vegan meatball stew I threw together using VBites meatballs. I flavoured it with plenty of chipotle and hot sauce while my rice stack in the centre was packed with coriander.
My pal Messy Vegetarian Cook was over for the meal and her Instagram photo took into account our drinks for the evening, including two bottles of red wine and some shots of delicious mezcal. Check it out!
This simple Twitter exchange has me all worked up.
‘Hope’ and ‘soon’ had better mean ‘definitely planning’. Beyond Meat is one of the best vegan meats anywhere in the world. Get on over to their Twitter account and let them know how much we would love their products to be available in the UK.
Amy’s Kitchen have changed the packaging for their vegan mac and cheese. I saw the old and the new in Whole Foods Market Kensington, so of course I picked them both up.
A selection of my Instagram photos such as this will now be shared on my blog, giving you an insight into some of the things that grab my attention. Follow me on Instagram here.
One of the greatest fears for a lot of people looking to make the leap to a vegan lifestyle is the lack of pizza. Surely humans cannot exist without this crucial dish? Fortunately for wannabe vegans, Basilico make it possible for you to be able to consume pizza without hurting anyone.
The giant pizzas at Basilico are legendary. The first time we ordered an 18 inch delight, I squealed with joy. We have been enjoying the cheese-less margherita on and off for a while now but had somehow overlooked the fact the pizza crafters also make a mouth watering roasted vegetable pizza with vegan cheese. Oh yes.
I apologise if you are hungry. These photos are going to be difficult to view. Put yourself out of your misery and order an 18 inch vegan vegetarian pizza featuring Veganic grated cheese today. Basilico will even deliver it for you if you are local to one of their eight branches.
Finally getting around to posting my December 2013 vegan news round up on January 3rd.
Hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long. I have included some extra tasty pieces of news as my way of saying sorry.
Enjoy!
24 hours on, I am still a bit worn out from hosting my vegan New Year’s Eve dinner for 70 people at Saf Restaurant & Bar. It was a lot of hard work, but well worth it. Every single guest looked to be having a fantastic night out.
My pal Luke has kindly offered to stop by and give you his take on the evening. You can follow Luke on Twitter and check out his blog.
Tell us what you thought, Luke.
