Top 5 Reasons Why I Cannot Wait for Vegan Life Live

I love going to foodie events, especially vegan events. And 2016 was a great year of events for me, the best being VegFest in London. Not only because it gave me an excuse to go to London but because I got the opportunity to try a number of foods I hadn't before and meet vendors I hadn't met before. And 2017 is starting off ace with Vegan Life Live, on 7th and 8th January, at Alexandra Palace. It's the first time that this event is taking place and there are a number of reasons as to why I cannot wait.

Dragonfly Tea

Having IBS means I can't have caffeine or dairy, which has taken a lot of getting used to. As both were a major part of my diet once upon a time. These days, my hot drink alternative is herbal teas, which is normally of the peppermint tea variety, sometimes loose and sometimes in a teabag. So when I got an email from the lovely people at Dragonfly Tea, I was intrigued to see how their teas would compare in comparison to what I normally have.

My Top 5 Vegan Instagrammers

I love Instagram. I really do. For a variety of reasons. One being that it allows me to scope out all the best vegan places in a number of cities, especially London. As well as allowing me to find people that love the same kind of food as I do. With that being said, I have listed my top-5 favourite Instagram profiles. They are the profiles that I always look at, look forward to seeing what they will do next and the profiles that give me inspiration for awesome vegan food. I have been dairy-free for a while now and have just recently become pescatarian too. Eventually, I want to be vegan and these guys show me that it's easier then I think and not ridiculously expensive.

Zen Metro

I love Thai Food. I love the depth of flavours, the way they use tofu and how they deep fry vegetables. So after going to the launch party of Zen Metro a couple months ago, I was wondering how the restaurant would fare. Then I received an invite to try out the restaurant and I did not have to wonder anymore!

Can I Get A Rewind?

I tried Itihaas for the first time a month or so ago, at an event for their new menu, and wasn't left enthused by their dairy-free choices. For this reason, I was invited back for a sit-down meal to see what they could offer someone with my dietary requirements. Read on to find out how they fared!
