Vegan Menu for NYE Party in London

I love hosting parties for my community and one of the biggest I put on each year is my New Year’s Eve party.

This week I’m teaming up once again with legendary vegan venue Karamel in Wood Green on Wednesday 31st December, 2025 to celebrate the end of another calendar year.

Kath and Roger run the kitchen at Karamel and have planned a special one-night-only menu for our NYE celebration.

Vegan Food During My Flight

by

HUGE shock around FGV headquarters this week.

I missed a day of blogging!

Yes it’s a let down because I pledged to blog every single day, but I do have a solid reason. I just spent more than a day traveling from Brisbane, Australia to London, United Kingdom.

It was an intense journey that started with me arriving at Brisbane airport four hours before my flight, followed by the 8+ hour flight to Hong Kong, an hour and a half layover, then a fourteen and a bit hour flight from Hong Kong to Heathrow.

Don’t forget the fact that the Elizabeth Line was out of service which meant a few Tube lines to get home. When I approached a TFL staff member at Heathrow to ask why the Elizabeth Line was down, they simply replied, “Boxing Day, innit”. Perfect welcome back home to the UK! Hahahaha.

Add all the flying, training, and waiting around and I’m pretty sure I was in transit for more than 30 hours.

But you didn’t just come here to listen to me complain. You want to see what vegan food I was served during my two flights, right?

Choosing Veganism Is Still a Powerful Act

by

Every so often I find myself pausing to think about what choosing veganism actually means.

When you live this way for a long time it can start to feel ordinary, even mundane. You shop, you eat, you live your life and it all feels normal. But the decision itself is anything but small.

I’m Just Not Into Christmas

by

I stopped participating in Christmas a long time ago and it was not a sudden decision or a dramatic moment. It crept up on me over time until I realised I was actively uncomfortable with the whole thing.
