Why Has Veganism Gotten So Popular?

Posted on 2019-01-25 by tikichris

It wasn’t that long ago that “vegan” barely showed up in conversation, let alone the headlines. But now, it seems to be in the news to some degree every week, whether it’s a brand-new product or someone getting unusually offended by the ‘audacity’ of edible plant options being offered anywhere, despite having presumably eaten a salad before. But generally, the idea of veganism has had a positive response of late, with a record number of Brits estimated for this year’s Veganuary. Continue reading →

Going with Pittsburg for the start of this new series was a no-brainer. I had a great time there in September and would not be averse to making repeat visits.

Vantra Vitao: Tasty Nutrition for All Dietary Needs on Oxford Street

Vegan food makes ya peppy! Or, at least, that’s the conclusion I was coming to as I watched a couple of extra-energetic vegan dancers poppin’ to some dub step at yesterday’s launch of the new Vantra Vitao restaurant on Oxford Street. I had a great time – and sampled some delicious food and drink at Vantra. I’m more than happy to recommend a visit to this relaxed and health conscious restaurant just down the street (but seemingly a world away) from the calamitous Tottenham Court Road Tube station.

“Free From” But Still Flavourful Food by Orgran

Posted on 2013-10-12 by tikichris

I recently got hold of a range of “free from” products by Orgran. The three products I sampled – Buckwheat Pancake Mix, Buckwheat Pasta Spirals and Spaghetti in Tomato Sauce – were gluten free, wheat free, dairy free, egg free, yeast free, soy free and vegan … and still right flavourful too. Nice thing is, all those missing ingredients hadn’t been replaced with a lot of unpronounceable crap created in a lab. Instead the products provided me with a few back-to-basics meals that left me satiated without feeling bogged down. Continue reading →
