Thoughts on Vegan Options in Restaurants was first published in March 2018 and updated in March 2019. The last 12 months have seen some major changes for vegans and eating out is becoming easier than ever. With places like Prezzo, Zizzi, Wagamama, Pizza Hut and Pizza Express offering vegan options on their menu, the choice is growing all the time. Here are my thoughts on some of the current offerings out there. Vegan Zizzi I LOVE Zizzi! It’s been my…
Early morning sunlight casts its sleepy golden haze across the landscape. The sweltering heat wraps itself around my body and beads of sweat gather on my forehead. My breathing is laboured and heavy as I slowly ascend the mountain, my exposed shoulders tinged with pink. The heat from the sun is punishing, only adding to the intensity of hiking up Zwölferhorn. And with each patch of shade we encounter, we both sigh with relief. Eventually, in the safety of the…
If you missed last week’s post, Transitioning to a Plant-Based Diet Made Easy, you might want to read that first. As the title suggests, I talk about the different ways in which to transition to a plant-based diet! This week I’m looking at easy vegan food switches you can make during and after your transition. Easy Vegan Food Switches for Meat Alternatives Although being vegan and eating a plant-based diet, means you don’t consume anything that comes from an animal,…
Transitioning to a plant-based diet is easier than you think. With 540,000 people in the UK now identifying themselves as vegan, the industry doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Food manufacturers are stepping up to meet demand, with new plant-based options showing up daily. Whether it’s for health reasons or ethical reasons, transitioning to a plant-based diet is easier than ever before and making the switch doesn’t have to be difficult. Meat, milk and dairy are all easily replaceable…
It was our first day visiting Postalm. As the toll booth attendant asked me for zwölf euro, I looked at her blankly. In my head, I frantically started counting in German hoping I would manage to reach the correct number. Unfortunately, I was taking far too long and seeing the look of panic across my face, she repeated the price but this time in English. Twelve euros. Yes! 12! THAT was the magic number. I paid the money, mumbled a quick…
When you think about vegan friendly countries, I bet Austria isn’t top of the list. I bet it’s not even in the top 5. But if you look a little closer – you might be surprised. Traditional foods such as schnitzel, goulash and apfelstrudel, are more likely to spring to mind rather than a smorgasbord of vegan delights. But over the past few years, just like in the UK, it’s become easier to eat vegan in other countries too –…
The Jurassic Coast is 250 million years old, 95 miles long and England’s first natural World Heritage Site. This rugged landscape is probably most famous for Lulworth Cove which was left behind by the last Ice-Age, and the iconic arch – Durdle Door. Made up of coves, cliffs, beaches and natural craggy rock formations, the Jurassic Coast is an adventure playground just waiting to be explored. And at the beginning of April I became obsessed with visiting it. There’s always…
At the end of May I turned 40. As I sit here writing this, I can’t quite make the link between that number and the fact that I am indeed, now 40. I don’t feel 40, but then what exactly does being 40 feel like? When I turned 30 I freaked out and had a mini complete melt down. I’d never been skiing in France, I hadn’t visited Australia, I didn’t have a degree, I hadn’t packed up my belongings…
