A few months ago I was invited to try the new vegan menu at Revolucion de Cuba. They were kind enough to ask me if I would like to bring a friend with me for lunch.

Veggie Ribz
Food Review
Two things I loved as an omnivore were ribs and wings, I said things because I no longer think of them as food. However, that doesn’t stop me remembering how much I enjoyed them. So when I saw that Sainsbury’s were selling these Veggie Ribz from Plant Power Foods, and that they were made with tempeh, I got VERY excited.
Yo Sushi
Restaurant Review
Today I’m reviewing Yo Sushi. I have always loved sushi before I was vegan I would have a mix of sashimi and sushi but now I just skip the raw fish. Now, I could make it at home (and sometimes do) but I’m going to be honest it’s just not the same.
Chia Pudding Recipe
Recipe Post
Chia seeds are a great source of fibre. One 28g serving contains 11g of fibre. My favourite way to eat it is as chia pudding. I have a variety of versions I make. The basic measurements are the same but I change up the liquids, flavourings and additions.
Eat Street Belfast
Restaurant Review
I love travelling, even just in the UK, and one of the things I love most is finding new places (like Eat Street Belfast) to eat out. My main requirement tends to be somewhere that has reasonable prices, it also helps if it is something I couldn’t (or wouldn’t) make at home.
Food on the Go
Food Review
Today I wanted to talk about food on the go. We all have those days when we just didn’t have time to go shopping and therefore couldn’t pack our lunch, so we have to resort to buying something on the go. I might end up making this a series. We shall see. As a vegan there aren’t always loads of options. Things are getting better but where you live can have a huge impact on the options available to you. For example, I know people who rave about the new vegan options at Boots (a massive chemist chain here in the UK who also do lunch and snacks). Except the massive (2 floors) Boots in my nearest city sells one vegan sandwich (the sweetcorn fritter one), that’s it. No salad, no vegan sushi, no new sandwiches or deli platters. It can be really disappointing when people talk about these great vegan options, and you can’t access them.
Biggest Vegan BBQ
Activism
I live in Birmingham (UK), a city whose vegan scene is growing fast. Yesterday I went down to millennium Point to take part in the Fry‘s attempt to break the World Record for the Biggest Vegan BBQ, the #BVQ. When I found out about the event the forecast was for warm sunny days, and it was half term for many schools in Birmingham. So of course what actually happened was rain.
Things I Loved in May
Personal Post
I am hoping to make this post Things I loved in May, the first part of a monthly series. I’ll be honest it will probably be quite heavily food focussed. But I will try to add in other things as well. Here I discuss food, podcasts, YouTube and books.
Building Salad
Recipe Post
Okay, so I feel kind of weird calling Building Salad a recipe post but that’s the closest category I could think of. I often share photos of my salad bowls on my Instagram account, and have been asked a few times, what is in them, so I decided to show you how I build my salads.
Building Salad
The first thing to remember with salad is that to make sure you are getting all your nutrients you need to make a rainbow on your plate. No, I don’t mean literally, I just mean you need to include a good variety of coloured vegetables. I like to chop them all in different ways to help give the salad some extra texture.
Anna-Loka Cardiff
Restaurant Review
I love travelling, even just in the UK, and one of the things I love most is finding new places (like Anna-Loka) to eat out. My main requirement tends to be somewhere that has reasonable prices, it also helps if it is something I couldn’t make at home.
Anna-Loka
Recently I visited a friend in Cardiff, they’re an omnivore but knowing I am vegan, they were desperate to take me to Anna-Loka. They wanted to order takeaway when I arrived but it turned out we were too late, and it had closed. We ended up going for lunch the next day…..and I’m not sorry.
