love ♥ living ♥ vegan
Following a plant-based or vegan lifestyle, is about food, drink, clothes, shoes, body treatments, hair products and more.
It's a conscious decision to think, walk and possibly, talk a better lifestyle.
I support individuals who are thinking about making the shift, as well as, those who have already begun their plant-based journey.
I met Bassam Sharaf a few months ago. He had a stall where people were queuing up to try his foods. They weren't just trying them; but they were lingering, talking about them and then buying them to take home. The Sharaf mixes empower everyone to make Falafel, and other items, with less effort, without sacrificing how it should taste!
Check out this interview style article about Sharaf Foods.

This recipe makes delicious individual portions of alcohol free Tiramisu. It is quick and simple, which makes it ideal for those times when you 'unexpectedly' need a dessert.

I met Iris and Bob at VegFest and absolutely loved the gourmet look of their chocolate bars. Their packaging was attractive because it was simple yet bold. However, beyond all of that, they had a large variety of flavours, and those I tasted were delicious!

I had the good fortune of meeting Poppy Lettice when I attended a recent VegFest. Poppy is bubbly, passionate, generous and eager to please her vegan (and non-vegan) customers. The items that she had put on her stall for tasting, disappeared quite quickly, and she was given a lot of positive feedback by us tasters too! I knew you'd want to read about the range of goodies she makes and provides, so here's an article that will tell you that and more!

Hubby and I were out with my brother-in-law when we fancied having a snack. A lot of non-vegans think that it'll be hard work to find something for vegans to eat. Our brother-in-law's been out with us enough to know that it's not an issue, so there was no myth busting or anxiety management needed.

I know a number of people who would prefer to avoid shopping at certain supermarkets for various reasons, and Tesco is one of them. The thing is...other supermarkets hadn't quite caught on, so that left customers with doing without, buying online from different providers or going to health food stores. The choice is there, but the convenience was lacking.
Other supermarkets have joined the club and are now serving vegans better
Do you know what's currently vegan in Morrisons?

Our first experience of dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant
My hubby (Suraj) and I haven't eaten at a Michelin-starred restaurant before. Sometimes experiencing something like this for the first time can be intimidating or scary. It was strange. It was new to us, yet it felt easy.

I came across Sharon when I saw a video of her making some nail polish. I could see that she had a range of colours and effects, and was then compelled to contact her when I found out that her entire range was vegan and cruelty-free.
Here's some more information about her company, For Your Nails Only.

FED By Water goes vegan!
FED By Water's menu used to include non-vegan food and drink. The restaurant went vegan in July 2016. The risk has paid off! They are often busy, so it's definitely worth booking. The two times that I've been there, I witnessed them having to turn people away, because they hadn't booked and all the tables were full.
