Vegan Hippo is back and it's even better than before!
I went to Vegan Hippo soon after it first opened. I can't recall the savoury options that I ate, but the dessert was firmly embedded in my mind! It was the chocolate cheesecake. This dessert had a lovely texture, it wasn't too rich, and it had just the right amount of sweetness. Delicious!
I was gutted when I found out that Vegan Hippo had closed. There were all sorts of rumours floating around, so I wasn't sure if they'd be back. But then, I found out that they were re-opening and I couldn't wait to return! Saying that, I was also dreading that they wouldn't have the cake that I loved so much!
Find out if I enjoyed what I ordered...

I am excited for you to read this article. In summary, it's about how what we consume affects our health.
Dr. Ashwani Garg has kindly shared how he decided the type of medicine that he wanted to specialise in, the events that led to his discovery of veganism, why he went vegan and the amazingness that followed. This shift in thinking and diet had an impact which he hadn't envisaged. For me, the best part of all of this, is that he has no regrets, and he uses his direct experiences to help so many people attain a better quality of life.

I found out that Hsuan Lin was going to be at VegFest and I couldn't wait to meet her. She had a warm, fun and compassionate way about her, which came through in her emails and her t-shirt designs. She sold out of some of her creations so quickly, that I didn't even get to see them! However, I ended up getting three of them for myself! Naturally, the next step was to write this, so that she can tell you about her vegan business, Bazaar De Luxe.
