Goody Good Stuff

A post about vegan sweets, yippee! I had an email last week from a company called Goody Good Stuff asking if I would like to review some sweets…hmm, now let me see? Of course the answer was yes, well actually the answer was ‘I’ll let my children review them’! So in a celebrity fashion I received some free goodies – yes I’m going up in the world, may have to review my stance...

Station Hot Choc :)

I decided to give the car a rest and chose the more environmentally friendly option of using the train last week. Just a short hop to Stockport as I had some work there. On the way back I had a wait at the station and was very pleased to find a new small cafe stall there, called LK Gourmet, where I was able to purchase a soya hot chocolate (and the hot chocolate used was fair trade and contained no milk –...

Dandelion and Burdock Restaurant

Just been given a rcommendation for this restaurant, situated between Manchester and Leeds. I’m determined to have a ride out and try it – shame I don’t have any good veggie friends locally – but I’m working on it!! May take the kids and make a day out of it. Let you know but in the meantime, here’s the link!  D&B Link

Kill the Badgers!…Or do what you can to save them.

Yet again, the UK is going back to murdering Badgers. People fought tooth and nail to stop the Welsh cull and now this (full BBC article below). Please write to the governement, your MP or sign an online petition to say that this is no way to go forward, especially with no hard evidence to prove a link between badgers and Bovine TB. We should let the Badgers live their lives as naturally as they can. Maybe if...

Breakfast at Euston!

Now it is not very often I have something complimentary to say about a UK train station. However, I have to say that I had a delightful breakfast at the Sloe Bar Cafe recently. I was in a rush and missed breakfast and was meeting a connecting train with forty five minutes to spare so instead of the predicted bag of crisps on the train, I tried the veggie breakfast at this cafe (which is inside the station)....

Co-Op Cape Chardonnay Wine

Just to let you know I am sat drinking a delightful wine and wanted to recommend it to you. A crisp and gentle white wine – Cape Chardonnay (South African). Now, I usually would chose a French or Italian but I felt like a change. I have been buying more wine from the Co-Op as their wines have a list of ingredients (very few follow suit as there is all sorts of hidden ingredients in a lot of wines). Look...

Guest Article & Great Tofu Burger Recipe!

I was recently contacted by Martha Volz , who writes for the Vegetarian Supplements site, her personal passion blog devoted to vegetarian healthy eating ideas. She asked if she could write an article for Shout Vegan about new research from the United Nations (UN) that suggests a correlation between climate change and meat consumption. After reading the article, and the great recipe which I will be testing...

My local Chinese!

Down the bottom of my road is a wonderful, if not a little strange, Chinese take away. Run by quite an eccentric lady who always gives a free gift, be in a bunch of grapes or a can of beer, it is a joy. I must admit I have partaken of the goodies on offer there about 4 times in the last month but it keeps me going back. It is called Sunlan and if you are ever in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire, you must give it a...

Pumpkin Soup

I have to admit to making the nicest pumpkin soup I have ever had yesterday so I thought I’d share the recipe which as always I just made up! Lightly fry an onion in olive oil. Add about 4 cups of scooped out pumpkin. Add 3 chopped carrots. Add a pint veg stock, maybe a bit more if you need more liquid as cooking. Add some coriander, black pepper and a pinch of salt. Half a cup of red lentils. If able,...

Vegan Choices

Living in Northern Norway I assumed that the small selection of vegan food options here were because I live in a remote village in the Arctic. However with Matthew returning from the US it became clear that I am in fact quite privilidged to have the options that I do for me and my family. I noticed on my last visit to the UK that there were few vegan choices in the supermarkets and because most of these chains...
