London vegan news, reviews & events
This is a massive blog post. Actually, scratch that. It is a MASSIVE blog post.
Get your scrolling finger ready and dive head first into this incredibly interesting interview I recently conducted with the fabulous Marc Massive of the band Massive Ego.
We talk music, Boy George, veganism, fashion, love and more.
This is one of my favourite posts in a long time so I’m sure you’ll love the read, too.
Do you all remember when we helped a young person named Alex with a school marketing project involving a collection of his vegan recipes? Sure you do!
Alex went on to have the most successful project in his school and was shortlisted as a finalist in a business competition run in Sheffield.
Flash forward to last night and I met up with Alex and his mum for dinner in London!
The Vegan Roadshow was travelling quickly through Liverpool this week but of course we made time to get some eating in.
Check out two of the meals I was able to consume in the brief amount of time we had in the city.
Don’t you just love when you stumble upon unexpected vegan food? It’s even sweeter when you are in a beautiful location such as Queensferry, Scotland.

Ok. This might not be exactly earth-shattering news for anyone, but I was delighted to see Sacla have included the words ‘Suitable for Vegans’ on the new packaging of one of their products. Sacla are a household name in the UK and are the go-to people for decent, reasonably-priced pesto. Last year they launched dairy-free versions of their popular basil and tomato pesto jars, using tofu and cashew nuts to compliment the taste and add a cheesey element to the sauces. Regrettably they didn’t mention the word vegan on the jar, although a quick read of the ingredients list confirmed that the products were indeed free from all animal products. So I was pleased to pick up the new-design jar in Sainsbury’s today and see those magic words ‘Suitable for Vegans’ on the back of the jar. I wish more food manufacturers would follow suit!

Yes, seriously.
I am writing a blog post about houmous. After all the jokes, all the stereotyping and all the times I’ve been left with nothing to eat but houmous, I am dedicating an entire blog post to the creamy stuff.
Why? Because the smoked organic houmous by Natural Vitality is fabulous.
Check it out.
Birmingham, you are on a massive vegan roll at the moment.
First there was this news of a vegan shop opening and now you can go along to this vegan-friendly food and drink event this weekend.

Did you all get along to the mega Just V Show in London Olympia last weekend?
If you didn’t, the following photo collection documents some of the goodness you missed out on.
If you did make it, I’d love for you to tell me what vegan goodies I missed as I scuttled around the venue.
