Purezza Brighton

Firstly i would like to thank Purezza for inviting Myself, VeganBlogger78 and VeganBabeLife   to come along to review their amazing food. The menu looked amazing and it was difficult to decide what to have. I did like the fact that the menu clearly stated which dishes were nut free (which is very helpful having a nut allergy) For starters we chose: VBL. Focaccia strips and cheese Served with a selection of dips including hummus, pesto and caramelised beet/onion. VB78. Cheese bites, Six delightful dough balls, loaded with lashings of melty coconut cheese. Me. Garlic bread with cheese. Classic garlic bread, loaded with garlic puree with rosemary & optional cheese.  Cheesy Garlic bread need i say moor. nomnomnom For our main meal we chose: VBL. Indigo Island:  Roasted purple sweet potato, freshly cut pineapple & pea pancetta. VB78. One Night in Bangkok: White base, with stir fried vegetables, sprouted beans, sri

Weekend trip to Edinburgh

We had a rare weekend when we didnt have anything planned so we decided to take a trip to Edinburgh. I have been here before but many years ago, my fiance had never been there before so we booked a hostel in the old town and return tickets with Megabus. We arrive really early in the morning having decided to travel over night. The sun was shining and there was very few people around. We took a stroll to see what was around and saw that there was a museum which was free, but being so early it wasnt open so we would have to return later in the day. We managed to track down a couple of health shops that had vegan food, this was very much needed as we were starving. We located our hostel which was in a lovely area in the Old Town. After a short break we decided to go back to the museum to see what they had to offer, and i for one wasn't disappointed didn't take that many pictures as i was too busy enjoying our visit. There was so much to see and do there and i would de

Trip to Cardiff

We decided to take a short trip to Cardiff for a couple of reasons, one to check out what's on offer there for vegans and also to see a concert at St Davids Hall. We arrived to really nice weather, which was nice to see. Locating our hostel was really easy as it was centrally located on the high street in Cardiff City Centre.  Was a lovely hostel and very welcoming and very homely. We decided to take a walk to Anna-Loka which is a 30 minute walk from the city centre. Anna-Loka is 100% vegan cafĂ©, their menu was full of so much yummy choice but we opted for all day breakfast to start with and a side order of chips. This was followed by a apple and beetroot cake and a mango and coconut cake.  My fiance had a black forest hot chocolate too. We left feeling really full. On our second day in Cardiff we decided to get the local bus to Penarth (the local buses do an all day ticket for £3.50 to travel all over the Cardiff area, which is really goo

The Vegan Hippo

What an amazing place to visit. Not only is the food amazing but they are completely Vegan. On our recent visit we tried their new Sticks of Joy which was Jackfruit with mushrooms, pepper, aubergine, and onion with a side helping of relish. It was so yummy and had a small hint of spice, i could have eaten alot more of these. Nomnomnom. We then had spicy courgette burger. It was very nice with plenty of spice, wasn't really my thing as I'm not a courgette lover but it was still good. The Jackfruit burger was yummy and really filling but really messy as it didn't want to stay in the burger bun at all.....i would highly recommend giving this a go though, just make sure you have plenty of napkins. The bean burger with onion and garlic sauce was amazingly yummy and would defo recommend it to anyone. It tasted as good as it looks. For pudding we opted for a vanilla slice. I haven'
