To start the new year on a high and to tackle my first resolution, I challenged myself to Veganuary. Alongside 700,000 others, I signed up to go vegan for January 2023, in hopes of improving my diet and doing my part for the animals and environment.
The month was a great success, and as February rolled around, I was filled with a real sense of achievement. Going forward, Iā€™m committed to incorporating more plant-based foods into my lifestyle and making substitutes where and when I can ā€“ ā€œVeganuary is more than just a pledgeā€!
Here are the dishes Iā€™ll be continuing to enjoy throughout the rest of 2023ā€¦

Homemade concoctions

Banana pancakes


Simple but classic. Mash up those ripened bananas with sugar & flour and whisk in some oat milk. Add maple syrup and berries for sweetness. Super easy.

Vegan Fry-Up

My Favourite Vegan Dishes
The real winner for this dish was my homemade everything bagel seasoning, consisting of garlic & onion granules, poppy seeds, sesame seeds & flaky sea salt.

Coconut Yoghurt Bowl

My Favourite Vegan Dishes
Coconut yoghurt. If you donā€™t know, get to know. Healthy, creamy, and delicious.

Bruschetta

My Favourite Vegan Dishes
Really good tomatoes make all the difference (not to mention a good pinch of Maldon Salt)ā€¦

Mushroom & Pecan Gnocci

My Favourite Vegan Dishes
Comfort food in under 20 minutes!

Dining Out
Mildreds

My Favourite Vegan Dishes
A great plant-based restaurant with a few locations across London. I had mango marinated plant chickā€™n, butternut cranberry red rice, tahini, tomato shaata. 10/10.

Sydney Rocks

My Favourite Vegan Dishes
Avocado, pomegranate & pear on crispy crunchy sourdough ā€“ an unusual but tasty pairing (excuse the pun).

Holy Carrot

My Favourite Vegan Dishes
Located in Sloane Square, this 100% plant-based restaurant was fantastic. The Holy Buffalo Oyster Mushroom Wings and ā€˜Sexy Tofuā€™ were scrumptious. Iā€™ll certainly be taking a trip back here soon.

To anyone with the slightest interest in trying vegan, I couldnā€™t recommend it more. The list of benefits never ends!
