Vegan cheese out of Cheshire

I experienced some fabulous vegan cheese today and thought it would be nice to let you all know about it, too.

It might be especially interesting due to the fact you can order online for UK delivery!

Soul Cheeze is a plant-based cheese business based in Cheshire, UK.

I stopped by the vegan market that took place in Sheffield today and made a direct line for the Soul Cheeze stall. I tasted a few and decided to take home the Mustard and garlic/herbs varieties.

You can order directly from the Soul Cheeze website for shipping to your home or office.

All of the cheeses are nut-based and include:

  • Black pepper
  • Chilli
  • Camembert
  • Smoked
  • Blue
  • Original

Vegan pick ‘n’ mix in the UK

Hey. Do you love vegan pick ‘n’ mix?

Hey (again). Do you love saving money when you buy vegan pick ‘n’ mix?

Yes to both? Keep reading!

Sugar Noms is a fab new UK-based family-owned business on a mission to spread vegan sweets across the land.

They recently sent me some products to try and I was in heaven.

The bag of bonbons lasted about two hours, while the bag o’bubs hang around slightly a little longer. I shared the third packed with friends because even a Fat Gay Vegan has limits.

Sugar Noms has got sweets, chocolates, and fudge in pre-packed or build your own bag options.

Some interesting info about the business:

  • 💚 100% vegan
  • 💙 Letterbox friendly boxes
  • 💜 100% recyclable and eco-packaging
  • ❤️ Nationwide UK postage
  • 💜 Can cater for your wedding and party sweets
  • 💚 Owned & run by vegans – they are vegan for the animals!

And how about those savings?

Order via their online shop and use code FGV10 for a 10% discount with Sugar Noms.

New vegan fast food in Sheffield

Vegans ready to get Saucy in the UK.

Sheffield vegans and the vegan-curious alike are set to enjoy a true taste revolution as plant-based Saucy launches with gourmet fast food delivery in the South Yorkshire city.

Launching on July 31, 2020 Saucy is the new project from the founders of legendary vegan eatery, Make No Bones, and I’m super happy to be working with them to help with promotion.

Saucy co-founder Dave Shaw said of this new fast food concept:

“My dream has always been to feed delicious vegan comfort food to as many people as I can. While our team is busy working hard behind the scenes to get Make No Bones back up and running and serving our loyal customers again, we also wanted to bring another plan to life.

We designed the Saucy menu to appeal directly to the taste buds of decadent burger lovers and people who, just like me, can’t resist a hefty portion of crispy fries.”

Specialty menu items set to impress include the Katsu Burger featuring a fried chicken-style fillet housed in a fresh bun with sesame-infused slaw and Japanese curry sauce.

Freshly cooked fries are available in two sizes, as is the irresistible Japanese-inspired slaw when ordered as a side.

A selection of beef-style burgers sit alongside the line-up of chicken-style burgers, while fans of gourmet dipping sauces will be thrilled to see a wide range of in house sauces available to order separately to take their fries experience to another level.

Saucy is currently serving delivery only via local food app Mealbase, with more options for takeaway and delivery coming soon.

Follow Saucy on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Five vegan takeaway meals in the UK

During the past two weeks, I have been living in a London hotel room in order to follow the Government mandated self isolation.

I was originally booked into a hotel with a fridge but during my flight back from Mexico, my booking was cancelled. I ended in a room above a pub with no kitchen and no fridge.

And that means takeout food for two weeks.

Here are my top five fast food items I enjoyed during my stay.

Margherita pizza from Franco Manca

This Isn’t Chicken curry from Pho

Veggie sushi collection from Itsu

Vegatsu seitan katsu curry at Wagamama

Vegan box from wasabi
