Shepherd’s Pie Recipe ~ vegan
This is such a delicious, simple dish which is perfect to serve if you are hosting, or a great meal prep option which you can eat over a couple of days or even freeze! The beauty of it is that you can really use whatever ingredients you have on hand for the “mince” filling – so feel free to substitute any vegetables I used for other things. I will say that carrots, mushrooms and onions form a delicious base. As for the “meaty” substitute, opt for either of the following: brown/green lentils, black beans, TVP, soya mince, tempeh mince or a mixture of either.

Lucky Pig ~ New Vegan Brunch Menu
I was one of the lucky piglets invited along to a preview of Lucky Pig’s new vegan brunch menu at Paradise Palms this weekend. Although the meal was gifted to me (and my +1, a friend who was visiting me from out of town), my (and her) opinion is completely my own. I am a big fan of Lucky Pig food in general though, but I promise this is a fully honest review. Now that that disclaimer is out of the way – let’s get started! First, we were served beautiful drinks. They have alcohol and non-alcoholic options. Having had their Bloody Mary before, I opted for it again because…

Smokey black beans
Hello! My old toaster had broken down, and after a period of being a sad toaster-less person, I had built up quite the craving for some nice beans on toast.

Black beans are one of my favourite beans, due to taste and texture. The toast would’ve been lovely plain as above, but I went one step further and added hot sauce (Sriracha) on one, and a tahini drizzle on the other. Nooch – aka vegan magic gold dust – had to go on both,…
