Best Vegan Food Shops

-

By McDonald, T.  |  Date 23th of November 2020

In the beginning there was no plastic.  Although some of these stores still have a lot of plastic, many of the goods are plastic free and vegan.  Take the time to look at the goods and be sure about what you are buying before you buy it.  If you are still not sure about some items, read my reviews and watch my videos on what i thought about the goods.  

Alternative stores

Has many different brands and a good range of foods including chilled and frozen goods.  At current they also sell shoes although the men's range is very limited.  On a positive note, they have some really great washing powder for very reasonable prices! Yay!  If you like chocolates and sweets, you will have plenty of choice.  Boxes of vegan chocolates and single bars are available.  Furthermore, things like polish and toiletries are also available.

Vegan Store

This has a great range of ready meals, confectionery and toiletries.  The ready meals are cans of curry and things like beans and burgers in a can.  They also have Dutch Apple Cake!  Plenty of sweets and treats as well as essentials like nutritional yeast with B12. 



The Vegan Kind 

Has lots of brands that you will recognise and some new ones too.  This store not only has a wide range of food it also has toiletries and clothing too.  Take the time to check this store out since it has all sorts of goodies including sweets, chocolate and mock meats.  


In the High Street

You may have noticed that vegan goods have been appearing in supermarkets across the nation.  I have found great vegan goods in Tesco, Waitrose and the local coop.  Keep an eye out and keep the pressure up on the shops and politicians in order to make the nation fully vegan.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of December 2023   This is something I have heard of, but never tried before.  Usually, we have traditional Christmas cake in my house, but last year I wanted to try something different and this was it.  Rest assured, I will be having it again this year too! At first, it seems like a lot of effort, but you will soon see that it is straight forward to make and definitely worth it.  However, it will need proofing and the dried fruit will need soaking, which will all take time, so plan ahead.  Notes I used French Brandy Marzipan and so used brandy to flavour the raisins and cranberries. I used almond milk. A good tip is to dust the soaked fruit with a little flour before adding the dough. You have 3 options with the marzipan:  Roll it out  Chop it up Have a thick bar of it running through the centre I soaked the dried fruit in brandy, but you can make it without the alcohol is you wish or use rum instead. I used a silicon baking sheet to save on the

Rum And Raisin Loaf

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 27th of November 2023   Whatever the occasions, this is a great treat to be had.  The rum soaks into the raisins and results in a perfect infusion of flavours. The rum adds flavour to the raisins while the raisins add sweetness to the run.  This beautiful bread as a great bready texture, yet is fruity and warming to the soul. Although it doesn't need it, you can choose to dust it with icing sugar.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 18th of March 2024 You will never believe just how easy this cake bread is. So tasty, so moist and good! The preparation is mega quick because all you have to do is mix it all together and pour the batter in a loaf tin and it is ready to go in the oven. No yeast, so no proofing it is ready so fast and bakes in 45 minutes. The result is a sweet tasting cake that you can cut into slices and eat like bread. Notes Don't beat the batter or it will turn out tough after baking.   If you use Green Ginger Wine, be sure it is vegan.     Ingredients  Dry  300 g of self-raising flour 120 g of dark brown sugar 2 tsp of ground ginger   5 crystallised ginger cut into pieces 30 g of grated fresh ginger 1 tsp of ground cloves 1 tsp of mixed spice 1/4 tsp of salt 1 tsp of baking powder Wet 40 ml of vegetable oil  240 ml of water  150 g (about 4 tbsp) of plan or vanilla vegan yoghurt 50 ml of ginger wine 2 tbsp of dark syrup   Method Add all the dry ingredients to a
