Happy Friday 🥳🎉⁣ ⁣ @therusticcrust will always have a pizza my heart ❣🍕⁣ ⁣ I popped over to see Poppy and the gang this week and grabbed one of their famous Napoli style pizzas 🤤⁣ ⁣ Pictured is the goats cheese, chilli and honey with basil and Parmesan 🍕 - the lightest dough and the freshest toppings 😻 ⁣ ⁣ #gifted

Worth every penny 🙃🍸 ⁣ ⁣ Last week, as you may have seen on my stories, I was in London 📍🇬🇧 ⁣ ⁣ We went to @blackroe in Mayfair and had some of THE MOST amazing food. Every bite resulted in a 30 second pause with eyes rolled back, followed with a “oh... my... god” - so we must have blended right in 🙄😅⁣ ⁣ Pictured is two of the most decadent cocktails I’ve ever had. I genuinely assumed it would be presented like a normal gin and tonic but when it arrived with magnifying apparatus and tools to penetrate liquid filled globes in to our drinks, I was very impressed 🙈 ⁣ ⁣ Would highly recommend it here, I’ll post some pictures of the food too so you can see what we ate, I just think these drinks deserved a shout out of their own 🌚⁣ ⁣ Super casual yet elegant dining experience, no one even batted an eyelid at my Jurassic Park jumpsuit 😅🦖

Vegan fried chicken and waffles?! 🍗 🌱 ⁣ ⁣ We went to @luckyfoxsheff to try out their new vegan/veggie menu and were NOT disappointed 😍 ⁣ ⁣ Loving the seitan chicken and the fact it came American style on a bed of waffles with cinnamon butter and maple syrup .. it just blew my mind 🤯 ⁣ ⁣ We also tried the “doner fries” and the portion was HUGE, in hind sight we probably didn’t need as much as we ordered but hey, at least I can give you an opinion on the ENTIRE menu 😜⁣ ⁣ Definitely worth booking because the place fills up fast! 💨 ⁣ ⁣ Blog post coming soon 🔮 ⁣

Another quick #vegan recipe 🌱 mushroom & cashew nut chow mein with ginger, chilli and soy wok fried greens 🍜 all fresh ingredients from @sharpsofsheffield 😍⁣ ⁣ After yesterday’s pizza day at work I’m feeling a little slow and heavy but TGIF 🎉

Teriyaki aubergine steaks, sesame baked kale & sticky rice 🍆🌱 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Thank you @sharpsofsheffield for my veg box 😍 makes life so much easier being able to order fresh fruit and veg to the office instead of trying to run about after work ☺️ ⁣go check them out to get yours! ❤️⁣ ⁣⁣ Really easy recipe - I’ll be dropping it on my blog soon for anyone wanting to recreate this easy mid-week meal..⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Pssst... it’s #vegan 😉

Who’s still doing #veganuary ?🌱⁣ ⁣ I went to @cutleryworks last week and did some mad power walk all the way to @elly.joy ‘s spot to get my hands on these 😍 totally disregarded everyone in my path, completely blinded by donuts 🌚⁣ ⁣ Well I say donuts, these are Elly Joy’s doughNOTS - completely #vegan 🌱❤️ I went with the raspberry & almond and the Cherry & pistachio 🍒 and they were lovely ☺️🍩 ⁣ ⁣ Im going to have to go back to cutlery works this week because I definitely didn’t get my fill in just one visit 🙃⁣

Happy Friday 🙌 ⁣ ⁣ The weekend is here and so is the end of January 😅❤️ - thank all that is good because I honestly don’t know how I would have stretched out my remaining bank balance any longer 🌚😂 ⁣ ⁣ What are your plans for the weekend? If they don’t include brunch then you’re doing it wrong 😜 although I’m pretty sure ‘brunch’ is just a nicer way of saying ‘getting pissed at breakfast’ 🙃🥂 ...I’m not judging 😉 ⁣ ⁣ If you want something for everyone, cosy and casual atmosphere with a well stocked bar and plenty of free-from options available then head over to @cutleryworks 👀 and more specifically, if you wanna tuck in to what’s pictured above then make a B-line straight to @fro.co.nut for some delicious dairy free, vegan waffles 🤤🌱 ⁣ ⁣ (Thank me later)

Luisa’s Vegan Chocolates 😍🌱 ⁣ ⁣ Nottinghams first and only bean to bar chocolatier 😱 ⁣ ⁣ That’s right, everything from scratch. And wow. All of Luisa’s choccies are amazing. ⁣ ⁣ I got to sample some of her darker than dark 70% chocolate and it was packed full of intense chocolatey flavour, I liked it so much she popped a piece of it into my salted caramel chocolate cup🌚 ⁣ ⁣ My absolute fave was the coconut cup 🥥 and when I go back I’ll be getting a whole pack of those 😍 my friend Rachel absolutely LOVED the peanut butter cups, I’ll have to take her word for it but she polished 4 off before I had even opened my pack 🐷 ⁣ ⁣ Get yourself down to the lanes at Sneinton Market and grab you or your loved one some indulgent treats.⁣ ⁣ Valentine’s Day is just around the corner 👀🥰🍫 ⁣ ⁣ @luisasveganchocolates ❤️

Mr Miyagi’ sushi bar 📍😍 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We ordered a stupid amount of food, as per, but while we were waiting we couldn’t resist grabbing things off the conveyor belt as it went round so we ended up just sitting their with all of our shame surrounding us 🙃 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Pictured is the Szechuan aubergine (my fave) it was sweet and spicy and cooked to perfection 🍆👌 love this spot ❤️ ⁣

Eat the rainbow 😍🌱 ⁣ ⁣ I’m not going to sit here and pretend I have the healthiest lifestyle and manage a balanced diet even 80% of the time 🌚 but I am a huge fruit & veg fan so I’m lucky that I actually enjoy healthy food on the odd occasion 🤪 ⁣ ⁣ I made a vegan breakfast bowl and although it’s not quite the instagrammable #smoothiebowl goals, I definitely chucked enough of the good stuff in there for it to be doing me some good 🙃 ⁣ ⁣ I made a mango and pineapple purée and had it with some coconut yoghurt, dragon fruit, passion fruit, bluebs, raspberries, goji berries and pumpkin seeds... so if this doesn’t give me a bikini body, I don’t know what will 🙄😅

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 🥰🍳
