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! 🤩🌱

All I can think about is food today 😳I’m over the hangover induced self pity of yesterday and now my concentration is fully on my stomach and how empty it is 😭 DREAMING of this vegan pizza swirl 🍕 from @theherbivorebakery and all of their other d e l i c i o u s treats 🤤🌱 go check out their page because they are now delivering boxes of their swirls and other goodies if you can’t wait for the next vegan market! (please tell me you guys will be there?!) ❤️

Happy FRIDAY 😍🤩🎉 is it just me or has this week felt longer than most?! Maybe it’s because I know I have a fun weekend planned 🤷🏻‍♀️ last night we went out to @pizzaexpress in #sheffield and I tried out their #VEGAN “Leggera Giardiniera” (which I definitely just pointed to rather than trying to pronounce)🤦🏻‍♀️😂 along with ALL the olives and polenta fries! 🍟 food was actually really, really good! Shame they couldn’t do the espresso martini’s, which I was a little disappointed to learn that they buy in pre-made rather than make in house... especially when they have all the ingredients to do so 🤔 but perhaps we dodged a bullet 🤷🏻‍♀️🍸 I had a glass of NZ Savvy B instead and it certainly didn’t let me down! Hope you all have a lovely weekend planned 💕

I went to Sneinton Market at the weekend to check out their regular vegan market 🌱and I was not disappointed 😍I basically ended up doing my big shop there 🙄🙈 massively impressed with @veganjunknotts who I got all of the above from 🤩 Biscoff s’mores donuts🍩 vegan Big Mac 🍔 and THOSE SAUSAGE ROLLS. I got one in every flavour but I’ve got to say - the honey mustard one completely stole the show 🤤 I tried to show some restraint and save some items but I can’t lie.. I ate the lot in the space of 24 hours 😳 go check them out! They also do deliveries 🔮

Aye it’s all got a bit frosty on us hey?! 🍂❄️ despite the cold, I love mornings like this, the sunshine just highlights the change in colours on the trees 🍁and it’s finally Woolley hat season!! I stopped at @tampercoffeesw this morning and although this photo is of their creamed mushrooms on toast.. I actually had the goats cheese, mushroom and beetroot omelette🤷🏻‍♀️ but look how pretty that plate is 😍 love the food here, and the coffee is spot on☕️👌 now I’ve got to lug myself around Derwent dams on a push bike in the hopes of this not staying on my hips 😩😂 pray for me 🚴🏻‍♀️

I can’t remember the last time I slept for as long as I did last night but WOW do I feel amazing today 🤩🤸🏻‍♀️after a pretty hectic week it only made sense to start the day at @cocinaatcasa for this delicious eggs royale 🍳👑 always love coming here because the staff are super bubbly -even at 7am and consistently deliver amazing food, made fresh to order. The croissants here are out of this world 🤯🌎 had to stop myself from pinching a few for the road 😂now to go clear my head, cycling round Carsington Water 🚴🏻‍♀️ Happy Friday gang! The weekend is here 💕 -and so is the sunshine 🌞

After a CRAZY week.. I am emotionally, physically and mentally drained 🤯I wanted a takeout because I just couldn’t bare the idea of going shopping or even cooking 😂 and the thought of some salty fat-filled order just seemed off-putting 😣 @edosushiuk to the rescue with their freshly made to order sushi rolls and daily specials 🤤 🍣🥢 absolutely love it here and I’ve boshed through all of those edamame beans whilst writing this 😳
