The brownies were sensational and close to some of the best I’ve tried.

Vegan butcher to open in London

by

The team behind Rudy’s Vegan Diner in Camden have cooked up a new surprise for you.

A vegan butcher!

London’s first permanent vegan butcher is opening its doors on World Vegan Day 2020. To celebrate the grand opening, Rudy’s will be giving away 100 pounds of free baycon on the day (November 1, 2020) to celebrate their new bricks and mortar spot on Islington Upper Street.

Wowsers.

Every customer gets a half pound of baycon until it lasts, so get that date in your diary.

Rudy’s Vegan Butcher will be selling homemade pastrami, dirty burger patties, cheeze sauce, and chilli-non-carne. You can recreate the specials you’ve had at Rudy’s and fill your cart with a rack of jack, lobstah salad, meatballs, chick’n lover pate, or shredded BBQ pulled porc.

Make sure you get your Christmas roast turk’y, too!

And if you are not located in London, you can order from the Rudy’s Vegan Butcher selection online as they deliver nationwide. All online orders made on World Vegan Day include a free pack of baycon.

You will be able to pile your online cart high with homemade scramble v-egg, black puddin’, and soysage patties.

Perhaps their new charcuterie selection will be to your liking. Smoked ham, salami de Provence, pepperoni, and of course the pastrami.

This is a lot of excitement to take in!

DIY vegan Reuben sandwich kit

by

I am still recovering from the massive vegan feast I enjoyed thanks to Rudy’s Dirty Vegan Diner of Camden, London.

I wasn’t at the diner, but rather I had one of their impressive DIY kits delivered to my house as a gift from the much-loved food business.

Check out this amazing line up of ingredients that we used to recreate their peerless Reuben sandwich.

You can see the quality in that shot. Everything was simply perfection.

The DIY kit to recreate the Rudy’s Reuben contains:

Vegan seitan pastrami x2
Sliced cheeze x2
whole loaf rye bread 600g
Pickles
Sauerkraut
Grilled onions
Russian dressing
Parmesan dressing
Crispy onions

All of this for £18 (£1 of which is donated to Friend Farm Animal Sanctuary) means it is sensational value. Everything is artisan and we had enough for four sandwiches.

The packing was very thoughtful with recyclable plastic bags used, as well as cardboard and glass.

The DIY kit comes with an instruction card featuring a QR code that takes you to an instructional video online.

All the guesswork is taken out of the preparation!

Here is a shot of Gil watching the video before he made the sandwiches.

And the finished product?

Check it out.

I got this DIY Reuben kit as a gift but the truth is I wouldn’t even hesitate to buy this again legitimately for myself. If I had the money, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend it.

Other DIY kits from Rudy’s include Broccoli Mac ‘n’ Cheeze, Dirty Burger, and Grilled Chick’n Caesar Burger.

Visit the online shop for Rudy’s right now to order your own kit.

And be sure to follow Rudy’s Dirty Vegan Diner on Instagram for all their latest news, including a new deli opening in Islington very soon!

Vegan ice cream made with coconut milk

by

Apparently their is another heatwave coming for this weekend in London, so you probably should know about this vegan ice cream option in Angel.

Launched this summer by Copperhouse Chocolate, the rich and smooth ice creams are coconut milk-based. In even more tempting news, the chocolate ice creams on the menu are flavoured with their very own Copperhouse Chocolate drinking chocolate mixes.

That’s right, London. You have a vegan chocolate shop. You knew this, right?

Exclusively available in the Copperhouse Chocolate cafe in Angel, you can have a scoop with a brownie or waffles, try a milkshake, or they can fill a take-home tub for you.

Mint Chocolate ice cream, made using their Mintchievous Hot Chocolate, is one of the most favourite flavours for milkshakes. Other rotating flavours include Coffee Caramel, made with Monmouth Coffee and swirled with Coconut Salted Caramel, and Raspberry Chocolate made with Raspberry Dream hot chocolate and swirled with a homemade raspberry puree.

It all sounds fabulous!

Vegan beer out of Brixton

by

I got a taste of Brixton delivered to my house a few days ago and it was delicious!

Brixton Brewery sent me a few cans of their Coldharbour Lager and they went straight into the fridge to chill. They didn’t survive too much longer.

Do you like beer? Keep reading.

What do the Brixton Brewery style/taste notes say about this vegan beverage? It’s a lager that is crisp, clean, and floral. It is fresh, vibrant, and alive with flavour. The ABV is 4.4%.

You can order online for UK delivery and get free shipping for orders over £30. You can also buy takeout from the Brixton Brewery Taproom on Station Road, right in the heart of Brixton.

Buy vegan ramen sauce

by

Itadaki Zen is a unassuming legend on the London vegan scene.

Not a lot of people know there is a vegan Japanese restaurant just a few minutes walking from Kings Cross Station, but the people who do know are unwavering fans.

Jump on any review site and the comments are almost universally glowing.

You can follow the restaurant on Instagram to stay updated with their food adventures.

But I’m not here today to simply remind you about the legendary vegan restaurant, I’m really here to let you know about a product they are selling that I think you will love.

Itadaki Zen is now selling jars of ramen sauce and you can order for delivery or buy in person!

You can choose from the miso based sauce or the spicy version. I was extremely fortunate to have been sent one of each by the restaurant and I am excited to try.

I adore ramen and I’m happy to have the gruelling broth process taken care of by Itadaki Zen. These sauces look simple to use and are packed solid with tasty ingredients such as ginger, garlic, dates, and sesame oil (plus lots more!).

You can buy these ramen sauces from the Itadaki Zen online shop, or from Natural Natural supermarkets around London.

Kebabs at Arancini Brothers

by

It’s no secret that I adore the food of Arancini Brothers.

The vegan food chain in London are one of the best places to get consistently great (and tasty!) food around the UK capital.

Their arancini-based burgers are exquisite and they serve up what are probably my favourite fries in the country, so I am intrigued by the latest addition to the Arancini Brothers menu.

Say hello to skewer kebabs!

The kebabs are available at the Kentish Town, Dalston, and Maltby Street locations with delivery of the new items on the apps from next week.

Choose from two flavours: Lemon Herb Chick’n or Spicy Chick’n.

Both are served with paprika fries, fresh cut salad, risotto balls, eggplant sauce, and the special Arancini Brothers mayo. A plate with two skewers is priced at £7.95 while three skewers will set you back £9.45.

Yay for kebabs!
