Never make a birthday cake in a heatwave!

It was my husband's 40th birthday last week so I said I'd make him a cake. I wasn't anticipating the relentless heatwave we've been having here in the UK so it all went a bit wrong. After a minor breakdown, I managed to rescue it and posted pics of the finished product online where it …

Can’t face Veganuary? How about starting with Meat-Free Monday?

A friend asked me to write something about eating less meat/being vegan a couple of years ago and as it's Veganuary I thought I'd share it. It’s that time of year again– “New Year, New You” time, where everywhere you look someone seems to be trying to convince you that you need to make a …

Vegan Jaffa Cakes!

So, The Great British Bake Off returned to our screens this week. I absolutely LOVE this show but because we don't eat meat, eggs or dairy, they very rarely feature anything I can actually make for my family.

How my veggie baby became my vegan baby!

Having a healthy vegetarian baby.

So, after the hassle of arranging a vegetarian wedding we have a new challenge to face - a vegetarian pregnancy! I have to say that after the comments I get day - to -day, I was expecting to get a lot more grief about this but I have only really received one comment, and that …

Our Vegetarian Wedding

I know it's been a while since my last post, but I've had a busy year! As you may remember, I was planning my (vegetarian) wedding last time. You might also remember that the idea of a meat-free weekend was met with some hostility by some of the guests, as well as a few people …

Ignorance is bliss

So, I've been getting the usual questions on a regular basis for several years now and rather than repeat myself over and over again I'm going to start answering them here. I'll try to address one issue a week, schedule allowing, which will be either one of the most common or most annoying that I …

I don't think this will come as a massive surprise to our guests as both myself and my fiance are vegetarian, yet some people have called me selfish for inflicting my views on others! I don't think I've ever …
