In an Australian first, Woolworths is now selling Minced; a 100% plant-based vegan mince on the shelves beside the animal products. Funky Fields have created it using soy protein, wheat gluten, coconut oil, almonds, tomatoes and porcini mushrooms, and given it that distinctive red colour using beetroots. I was sceptical at first, but ...
Sister of Soul, St Kilda
I've already professed my love for one vegan hotspot in St Kilda, but after a trip to Melbourne a few weeks ago to visit a friend down from Sydney, I've got a new place to add to my love-list; Sister of Soul.

After that, my bank balance took a considerable beating, but I was at ...

If you haven't heard of Thug Kitchen by now, let me sum up their simple message for you: eat your f*cking vegetables. The foul-mouthed team at Thug Kitchen are, in their words, 'dedicated to verbally abusing you into a healthier diet.' What sounds like it should be a seriously unpleasant read is actually a witty, well-varied and most ...
The Nourish Bowl
Yesterday was a fast day (I follow 5:2 & wrote about it here if you're interested) and I spent most of my evening scrolling through page after page of Deliciously Ella, dreaming about what I could cook up today. Inspired by the endless bowls of goodness she creates, I had a go at making my own for lunch today, to take into uni with ...
