There is so mushroom in my heart for pasta 🍄 (too cheesy? 🧀)⁣ ⁣ One of those quick mid-week meals that feels like it should be really bad for you, but isn’t 😏 AND it’s #vegan⁣ 🌱 ⁣ Super easy, super tasty, creamed mushroom tagliatelle with truffle oil & chives. ⁣ ⁣ This is one of my go to week night meals, and you’d be surprised how many people don’t realise it’s vegan. ⁣ ⁣ I get all of my veg supplies from @sharpsofsheffield and if you’re struggling with what kind of stuff to stock up on, they do mixed fruit and vegetable boxes and will tailor them to your requirements ☺️⁣ ⁣ DM me for recipe inspo 💕⁣

#VEGAN 🌱⁣ ⁣ Okay so if you haven’t tried kushi-ya already, then what are you doing, do you live under a rock or something? ⁣ ⁣ Japanese street food restaurant serving up some banging skewers in what was formally known as the alley cafe.⁣ ⁣ Personally I love what they have done with the place, the alley cafe was always so cramped and tired looking and the Kushi-ya team have completely re-vamped the space, making it more fresh and modern.⁣ ⁣ The food was out-of-this-world. Having been to Japan myself I notice the difference between westernised versions of the food and authentic cuisine, and these guys have hit the nail on the head.⁣ ⁣ Celebrating individual, fresh, ingredients they really bring their dishes to life and I can’t wait to go back and try some more off their specials board 😍 ⁣ ⁣ Pictured is the miso barley aubergine skewer with nori and sesame crackers 🍆 ⁣ ⁣ Side note: I used the aubergine emoji correctly 🙃 ⁣ ⁣ @kushi_ya

It ain’t brekkie without a bit of smashed avo hey🥑 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Happy new year 🥳 I know a lot of you are doing #veganuary this year and I hope you enjoy the transition ☺️👊 I’ll be posting more vegan recipes and reviews this month in solidarity 🤪🌱⁣ ⁣ This is a shout to my fave brunch spot in Nottingham @thefactorykitchenuk , although I’ve not set a resolution to eat better and get fit I did show some restraint when it came to the delicious homemade cakes on the counter 👀🍰 doughnuts are my kryptonite 😭🍩⁣ ⁣ Hope everyone is off to a great start, I’m back at work now and am grateful for the return of routine! Gone are the days of sitting in my pants eating tiramisu for breakfast at 1pm 🙃⁣ ⁣ What are your goals for the year and where are you next planning to eat at?! Give me breakfast inspo in the comments ☺️⬇️⬇️⬇️

I think I’ve eaten so much cheese over the past few weeks my blood type may be closer to dairy than O Negative 😳🙈🧀 ⁣ ⁣ That didn’t stop me from ordering the Yorkshire halloumi starter with pomegranate and mint yoghurt from @devonshirearmsbeeley 😍 ⁣ ⁣ Truly one of my favourite eating spots in the Peak District. It’s the perfect place to meet before or after a muddy walk or bike ride, they do fantastic breakfasts and even have beautiful accommodation if you want to make a weekend of it 🥂 ⁣ ⁣ I went with a full 3 courses this time around because.. it’s Christmas 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I was not disappointed! Innovative and fresh new menu as always.. washed down with a bottle of NZ savvy b 🙄😅 ⁣ ⁣ Hope everyone is having a lovely festive break, I haven’t dared put on anything that doesn’t have an elasticated waist band yet 😬

Happy Christmas Eve!! 🎄 today marks the last hike of the year, and what better way to start the day than with eggs royale at @cocinaatcasa 🍳🍳Perfect yolks and rich hollandaise sauce, served by the loveliest team of people! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the croissants at Casa are second to none and I’m so glad we stopped here before our walk ☺️ We’re off to the peaks now for a bit of a stomp and I’ve already got lunch plans in mind 😍 how are you spending your Christmas Eve? I like to stick to tradition but this year we decided to mix it up a little. Whatever your plans, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas time ☺️❤️

This deceiving little tomato is actually goats cheese in disguise 🤯 served with fresh tomatoes and an olive “soil” the perfect starter at lunch time from @farndonboathouse ❤️

Breakfast at my new fave brunch spot in Nottingham 😍🍳 pictured is the “Vegan Spicy Naan” - naan bread topped with vegan crème fraiche, spicy mushrooms, baked tomato, fresh coriander and TONS of chilli 🌶 🥵 really tasty (and different!) breakfast, they also do a meat version with spicy sausage and fried egg! I had a fair few drinks to wash mine down with - killing me that I couldn’t order a coffee because the coffee on offer here is SO good 😩😍but I’m now 14 days caffeine free 🥳🎉 Go check them out @thefactorykitchenuk 👀❤️

Let’s taco’bout Yo sushi’s new menu 😍 since they switched things up I’ve been to @yosushi every week 🙈 exclusively to selfridges, Yo!sushi are doing nori taco shells stuffed with tuna, salmon or avocado - obviously I ordered the platter with all 3 on 🌚🌮 I also ordered the exclusive Aburi platter with scallop & miso nigiri, Salmon & Ikura nigiri, Tuna & Ponzu nigiri and a few others I can’t remember the names of 🙃 I also ordered the mixed nigiri platter with my absolute fave -teriyaki aubergine! And of course, no trip to Yo! sushi is complete without a few blossom rolls 👀🍣 ...and a bottle of Tokomaru Bay Sauvignon Blanc 🙄🥂 The nori taco’s are without a doubt, something special, albeit a little messy to eat but I don’t mind wearing my dinner when it’s this good 🤤 they have retained a lot of their old menu and kept some of my faves! But also changed up some of the veggie options to make them #vegan so now there is plenty to choose from if you’re about that free from life ☺️❤️🌱

At 10.30 this morning I was wading through a flooded river and by lunch time, being served top notch nosh in a fine dining restaurant 😅You would think I would be embarrassed about sitting in a swanky establishment wearing activewear covered in mud, but I use it as a measure of a good restaurant these days 😜 Pictured is my cured salmon starter, with pickled cucumber, horseradish foam and black treacle bread 📸🍽 all the extra touches, the festive wreaths, quality Christmas crackers and homemade breads at @thepeacockatrowsley really helped make this lunch a special one 🥂 I will 100% be returning... hopefully dressed more appropriately 🙃

Shakshuka 😍 if this is on the menu at breakfast, I am ordering it! This is feel good food at its finest, and @thefactorykitchenuk have perfected it - with perfect runny yolks and crunchy sourdough to dip in them 🥰🍳

It is safe to say I am feeling pretty heavy this week🌚 I’m going to blame that on why I lost at badminton yesterday 🙃 another food snap from my weekend visit to @digbethdiningclub but this time from the gods of all that is sweet @urbancheesecake2015 🤤😍 I customised their white chocolate vanilla cheesecake with salted caramel sauce and kinder bueno pieces and OH.. MY... WAISTLINE 😩❤️ it was beyond good, that salted caramel sauce is like no other I have tried before it 👌 I scoffed this in under 3 minutes and the walk to the car afterwards was..hard 🤦🏻‍♀️

People think that the smell of bacon is what vegetarians get the hunger pangs for. The only meat dish I’ve felt truly envious about is this mixed tray from @onlyjerkin 😍 we went to @digbethdiningclub this weekend and I just watched with jealousy as this was devoured in front of me 😂 mango and coconut fried jerk nuggets, with ginger beer battered jerk chicken, jerk fries and jerk gravy with coleslaw and jerk ketchup... I mean 🤤 obviously I had to nick a chip 🙄 this is some seriously good grub and definitely one to keep your eyes peeled for 👀 go check them out and see where they will be popping up next! ❤️

So now that the office Christmas party is out of the way I’m actually feeling pretty festive 🥳🎄 I’ve stuck the selfie of me in this post because I cannot think of a single occasion I can wear a gold, glittery, feathery dress for and I wanna get the most out of it😂😳🤷🏻‍♀️ we stayed at @parkregisbirmingham and had a 3 course meal and great gatsby themed party in their sky bar- and it was REALLY good! I back doored it pretty early and still managed to wake up with a hangover 🙄😳 for dinner I had the caramelised onion tart, salmon for main and cheese board for pud. It seemed like a lot of people were more keen on drinking than eating so I managed to cop off with 4 different people’s Brie 😬🧀 needless to say, that dress felt a little tight towards the end of the night 🌚 I hope everyone else’s Christmas do’s are just as memorable! It’s only Christmas once a year 🥰🎅

What else can you do when the weather is this grim but wrap up warm and find a cosy coffee spot and get yourself a caffeine and cronut fix?😜 @steamyard have the most mouth watering selection of goodies and the perfect blend of coffee to chase them down with 🤤 the lemon meringue cronut is a beauty BUT this sticky toffee pudding delight is out of this world 😍 is it too early for the “f#@% it, it’s Christmas” excuse? Because I’ve been saying it since Halloween passed 🌚either way, you’d be missing out if you didn’t try one! ❤️

I’m pretty sure everyone who goes to @wagamama_uk has THAT DISH, no matter how long they spend reading the menu.. they know they’ll always revert back to their favourite. That dish for me is the yasai yakisoba, every single time... until today 😯 knowing they have a new menu and after seeing @thehangryblonde try it out, I had to go with her recommendation and go for the miso cod ramen 🍜 and oh my goodness, it was SO good 🤩 Obviously I ended up with most of it down me after slurping my way through the noodle soup but it was worth it 🤤😍 washed down with that fiery mango and ginger @nixandkix it was the perfect meal. I think the Wagamama at @eastmidlandsdesigneroutlet is my new favourite - staff are always super helpful and bubbly and end up sticking around for a chat AND I can pop in to the @lindtuk store on the way out to grab a pick and mix 👀🍫

In Ilkeston, would you believe, there is a hidden gem offering vegan, vegetarian and tapas food, all fresh and homemade? I wouldn’t have either to be honest, but after @catherine_lane_ introduced me to @thefactorykitchenuk last weekend, I have actually been 3 times 😳😅 the breakfasts are to die for, the lunch menu is vast and I have yet to try out their tapas but I had a look at the menu and made a mental order for when I eventually go for it 😏 pictured is the onion Bhaji battered fish, mango chutney and mushy pea sandwich served with homemade chips and curry dipping sauce SWIPE along and you will see my slightly less photogenic order of the #vegan reubens sandwich 😅🌱 with seitan pastrami, vegan cheese, sauerkraut, mustard and Russian dressing. We also got a couple of ginger beers and glasses of savvy b and manchego cheese to stave off the hunger while we waited for our food 🌚 10/10 would recommend, super tasty food at a reasonable price, thanks for the recommendation Cathy, new fave spot! 🥰

I found the words I struggled to say, swipe for context ❤️ This is my adaption of my grans honey cake. 🍰 Manuka Honey, Chocolate & sea salt with honeycomb pieces and tahini💭🍯🍫🧂

The tasting menu at @restaurantvermeer is absolutely divine and they were able to deliver innovative vegan/vegetarian substitutes like the textures of beetroot in the first picture 🤩 SWIPE to see some of the other courses including some post-dessert, handmade vegan chocolates, served in a cocoa bean pod 😍🍫 if you’re visiting Amsterdam and are in the mood for fine dining with a relaxed atmosphere, Vermeer is your place 👌

TGIF 🎉🤩 anyone else feeling absolutely amazing today?! I know it’s a bit cold and that but the sun is out and the weekend is HERE! 😄🌞 shoutout to @tampercoffeesw for their eggstra (🙈🎻) tasty omelette with mushrooms, crushed beets and goats cheese 🧀 perfect start to the day with a glass of fresh juice and a double espresso ☕️ hope you all have a lovely weekend 💕

Happy #worldveganday 🌱❤️ because the days are getting shorter and the temperature is DEFINITELY getting colder ❄️ I’m throwing it back to this super easy, super tasty #vegan rainbow vegetable tart I made earlier on in the year.. Just look at those colours 😍🌈 perfect recipe for those autumnal and even wintery nights when you want some minimal fuss, no nonsense, good for your gut grub! 🌱❤️ I got all of my lovely fresh ingredients from @sharpsofsheffield - think carrots and courgettes 🥕🥒 on top of a spiced dairy free béchamel sauce encased in pastry! 🥧 think I might drop the recipe on my blog 🤔 what do you think? 🔮 ALSO - NOTTS GANG: this weekend it is the Sneinton Vegan Market, so head down and show some support to your local, cruelty free, food companies, braving the cold to bring you the goods! 🤩🌱
