London vegan news, reviews & events
Book a spot for this gorgeous vegan meal in a hurry.
My buddy Jhenn is once again rolling out a fabulous multi-course vegan Japanese luncheon for limited guests in her very own London home this Sunday (February 28, 2016 from 1pm).
Jhenn is a culinary hero in the capital and I haven’t met a person who has walked away from one of her meals feeling anything less than completely satisfied.
What is Jhenn serving on Sunday?
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:
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.

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.

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.
How does time fly so quickly? It feels like only a few weeks ago we were all celebrating at VegfestUK Brighton but the annual event is now just two weeks away!

Across the weekend of February 27 and 28, 2016, VegfestUK will be serving up:
If you haven’t been to VegfestUK Brighton in the past, I’d suggest you get along for one of the biggest vegan events on the planet.
You can find out more details on the VegfestUK website.
I’ve just heard that a 100% vegan café located in central London has closed.

Well I’m not sure what the government have in mind when they talk about the Northern Powerhouse, but perhaps they are referring to the proliferation of 100% vegan establishments that are springing up north of Watford. In recent weeks, I’ve told you about Love Juice in Manchester and Lolo’s in Ramsbottom. Now it’s time to head over the Pennines to Huddersfield where there’s a new kid on the block (pun intended).
Josh has left me all alone in Mexico City for a week to jet off to the USA.
He took some time out of his busy schedule of enjoying sunshine and making eyes at alligators in Florida to send me the following photos he took in a Whole Foods Market outlet.
Check out all the amazing vegan products rammed into these fridges!

Someone in the comments section on this blog recently alerted me to a 100% vegan restaurant and shop that opened in Ramsbottom last year. A few clicks later, I was scanning the enticing menu of Lolo’s Vegan and Raw Restaurant and Store.
Check it out below.

I recently saw a post in the Manchester Vegetarian and Vegan Group on Facebook about vegan pizza and even though I’m thousands of miles away from Manchester, curiosity got the better of me and I was delighted to learn about the existence of a 100% vegan cafe/juice bar in the Manchester suburb of Chorlton.
