Millionaire Shortbread was my all time favourite “dessert”; is it classed as a dessert? Anyhow, I stopped eating it after becoming more health conscious many years ago, and have never tried making my own since. I have tried a few vegan ones in cafes over the years but after seeing this recipe from The Happy Pear I thought I’d make it. The recipe sounded easy, it was healthy, and as it was Christmas I wanted to make something for the…
Vegan friendly chocolate. There seems to be a misconception that when you turn vegan you suddenly stop eating chocolate; this is not the case. There are many brands of chocolate offering dairy free options which don’t have to come from the “free from” section. If you like dark chocolate then you will find the transition easy. If you don’t enjoy dark chocolate it could take a while to make the transition however over time you will get used to the taste and start…
Popular UK restaurants offering Vegan options. There are so many restaurants here in the UK that offers vegan options now. When I lived in America the options were extremely limited unless I went to vegan specific restaurants. Lucky for us we do have many chain restaurants now which offer vegan options.

A chain that offers a variety of vegan food, say whaaat!? Dining out as a vegan is sometimes difficult and you may end up eating something really boring so that you can be catered for; and that’s no fun, especially when you’re paying probably quite a lot for it too. This weekend I went to Jamie’s Italian, I always check menus before hand, and saw that he had more than one vegan option. I was pretty happy. It’s also great…
