If you’ve spent the last year in a remote part of the desert with no Internet, then you may not have heard about Unity Diner – the newest restaurant to hit the London vegan scene. This isn’t just another ‘Instagrammable’ eatery jumping on a trend; UD was founded by dedicated animal activist ‘Earthling’ Ed and…
How veganism opens doors: looking back at 2018
The choice to live vegan can seem, to some, like choosing a life of restriction and regulation. ‘I can’t eat this’, ‘I shouldn’t wear that’, ‘I mustn’t use these any more’. We inevitably resist change, especially when we are forced to rethink whole aspects of our lives and learn them all over again. But I…
Visiting ‘by CHLOE.’, Covent Garden
I know that I’m pretty late to this particular party, but I can testify that it was definitely worth the wait. Plus, I have a witness – Jen is one of my favourite people, and most importantly, she takes just as much pride in her food as I do. ‘by CHLOE.’ is a vegan restaurant chain in…
Just V Show: shopping vegan with allergies (Part II)
(If you haven’t read my previous post, which is Part I, click here: https://meganism.wordpress.com/2018/07/08/just-v-show-vegan-gluten-free-and-more-part-i/) In my first post, I talked about discovering – with the help of ‘The Allergy and Free From Show’ – just how many food options there are for people who balance being vegan with other dietary requirements. Previously, I had thought that…
Just V Show: vegan, gluten-free, and more (Part I)
It’s another vegan show – and yet it isn’t. This Sunday marked the third and final day of what was fully titled ‘The Allergy and Free From Show’, held in Olympia London and offering not only vegetarian and vegan food, but food free from pretty much any allergens you can think of. For most of…
The best of three: Going to Wimbledon
The blog is back…and so are the puns. To shed some light on the (extremely witty) title of this post, yesterday marked the third visit that my sister and I have made to Wimbledon for the world-famous tennis tournament. Each time, we’ve woken up in the early hours of the morning to catch the first…
Summery vegan eats in Shoreditch
Okay, so it’s not actually summer yet, but since we’ve just had London’s ‘hottest April day in 70 years’, I think I can get away with it. I find that there’s something about the sunshine that perks up the whole city, and it’s always entertaining to see how quickly the layers come off – I’ve never seen…
The Retreat Animal Rescue Sanctuary, Kent ❤
There are several reasons that I’m terrified to begin this post. The first of those reasons is that when I visited The Retreat (with some lovely friends from The Humane League), I took roughly 300 pictures, and cutting that down to a reasonable enough number that the scrollbar on this blog post doesn’t shrink to a mere…
Spotlight On: Solkiki Chocolate (Part V)
I have never met anyone as knowledgeable and as passionate about chocolate as Bob (and the latter is saying something – until recently I didn’t think I couldn’t find a more devoted chocolate enthusiast than myself). When I approached the Solkiki chocolate stand at the Viva! festival, I was introduced to a whole new standard…
A purr-fect day: Visiting Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium
You’ll have to fur-give me for the terrible pun in the title (whoops…did it again), and trust that it doesn’t reflect in the slightest the quality of the experience that my sister and I had at London’s first ever cat café. I’ve been wanting to come here for absolutely ages, but unsurprisingly, Lady Dinah’s is incredibly…
