Review: Detox Your World

16th May 2013

If you follow me on Twitter you will know that I am partial to a green smoothie now and again, but never venture out of the green comfort zone. Same glass, same ingredients everytime. That all changed when Detox Your World kindly sent us some ingredients and recipe to make a *gasp* non green smoothie. (more…)

Review: Ms Cupcake Naughtiest Vegan Cakes in Town

1st May 2013

I have a ritual I go through every time I get a new recipe book. Get myself a nice comfy spot, have some Post-its to hand and then read through the entire book (yes I even read the introductions) immersing myself, marking up must try recipes as I go and getting pretty darn hungry with it. (more…)

Mary Ward Centre Vegetarian Cafe, Russell Square

27th April 2013

TICK TOCK TICK TOCK

That’s the sound in my head right now as the maternity leave clock counts down my return to work. Sunny weather only makes it worse and makes me long to be out and about. My first excursion with Sash since the arrival of Lil Miss would have to be somewhere easyish to get to with a buggy and not too far from home.

The Mary Ward Centre’s vegetarian cafe seemed to be the best choice, just one tube all the way and also right on the doorstep of one of my lunchtime buddies who has been telling me about this place for at least a year! (more…)

L♥ve: Baby Edition

19th April 2013

A special edition of all things baby related I am loving at the moment:

♥ Baby grows with built in mittens. Since the major design fault of scratch mittens is that they never stay on!!!!

Tales from the Bathroom Cabinet

11th April 2013

The moral of today’s story is that it pays well to clear out the old bathroom cabinet every once in while. Several vials of long forgotten potions were rediscovered recently, all pushed right to the deepest darkest depths of cabinet.

5th April 2013

A few of the things I am loving at the moment:

♥ Maternity leave.  It’s a double edged sword,  obviously a year off work is undeniably the best thing in the world. It is so good having more time with family and to do things I enjoy like blogging, cooking, discovering new vegan places to visit. Yet,  I will miss my work colleagues who luckily are awesome, because the thing about working is you end up spending more time with these people than your family. (more…)

15th March 2013

A few of the things I am loving at the moment:

♥ Unless you’re living under a rock at the moment you can’t have failed to hear that UK Oreos are now vegan. Hear the rejoicing of vegans all over the country who have long been jealous of their US counterparts. The Lil Man is hooked and is of the twist, lick and dunk school of devouring. (more…)

Authentic Dhal

11th March 2013

No matter how many times I write down a basic curry recipe from Lady V it NEVER tastes same as the way she makes it. Therefore I took it upon myself to demand a curry lesson which is as good a reason as any for social visit. :) Previously she has shown us how to make pakoras and chipattis. (more…)

Review: Nakd

5th March 2013

Do you remember the first time you had a Nakd bar? It feels like I have been eating them for as long as I have been vegan, and that they have always been a permenant fixture at vegan festivals. (more…)
