Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 19th of December 2022

With Christmas just days away you will need to be prepared for your vegan guests.  Don't worry, in this post I will give you some quick examples of great tasty snack and bits that you can either buy from a shop or make yourself.

Menu

  • Vegan Chocolate Cake
  • Focaccia Bread
  • Chilli Hummus with carrot sticks 
  • Vegan Cheese and pineapple on sticks
  • Vegan pigs in blankets 
  • Bites 
  • Plum sauce dip

Vegan Chocolate Cake

Vegan cake is always a great choice!  You can have the cake with some vegan cream from Elmlea.  You can have chocolate chip muffins instead if you think cake is too much. 



Focaccia Bread 

Bread is nice to nibble on, so why not make your own Italian flat bread to impress your diners?  


Chilli hummus

Always a winner this one.  Easy to make and keeps in the fridge.  People love to dip carrots and celery sticks or anything they can into something, so hummus is definitely a good choice.



Vegan Cheese and pineapple on sticks

What buffet would be complete without cheese and pineapple on sticks?  There are many vegan cheeses to choose from including Applewood and Plant Pioneer.


Vegan pigs in blankets 

It is possible to get all types and different brands from different supermarkets nowadays, but these ones that I had last year are from This.co and were fantastic! 

 

I tried the plant pioneer Shroompumps in blankets too, which were also great!



Bites

I had these last year and really liked them. You can taste the sweet potato in them and were lovely in a dip.



Plum sauce dip

This dip is not just sweet and tangy, it is also east to make. Ready in minutes and will sit in the fridge for days.



I hope that you liked this blog and if you do try this recipe, please let me know how you got on and what it turned out like. You can leave a comment in the comments below.

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Updated 24th of March 2024 Yorkshire puddings are a tasty part of Sunday dinner in the UK not to mention Christmas and Easter.  With this in mind, a vegan alternative is required to satisfy the patriots dinner plate.  I looked for a long time and tried many different recipes, but in the end I had to alter the best basic vegan recipe to make it perfect.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

The Price of Ignorance

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
