REVIEW: TWISTED LONDON VEGAN JUNK FOOD GOODNESS

Image
A couple of weeks ago I was kindly invited to try out Twisted London’s new vegan menu. I had never even heard of Twisted London before, so I was very intrigued to see what it was all about.  A quick google told me that Twisted London are a fast food place, specialising in chicken burgers. I mean, it doesn’t sound very vegan friendly, until I scrolled down and found the vegan menu and OH BOY I had hit the jackpot.  Twisted currently have four vegan items on their menu, delivering to both London and Leeds (just check if it's available in your area). I was extremely excited to test it out, as upon investigation it looked amazing.   Twisted are currently delivering only from Absurd Bird in Trinity Kitchen but as they invited me to try out their menu, I was able to head down to the restaurant with my friend to test it out.  We arrived at around 5pm and were greeted by the lovely guys from Absurd. We were handed a laptop and told we could order whatever we wanted. Me and

REVIEW: NEW VEGAN MENU AT THE IVY LEEDS

I have been back in Leeds for a couple of weeks now and let me tell you I have been BUSY. I woke up last Tuesday morning ready to attack a full day of uni work before I needed to head into town to try the new Twisted London vegan menu, (blog post soon to come). However, just as I sat down at my desk with my laptop open, I received a message on Instagram from Pure Agency asking if I would like to come down and try the new vegan menu at The Ivy. Food or uni work I asked myself? Food every time.  I had never been to any of The Ivy restaurants and didn’t even know they even had a vegan menu, so I was very excited for me first visit. I arrived at The Ivy for 12:30 in the afternoon with two of the women from Pure, a few journalists and a nutritionist who was going to give us some tips and tricks on how to stick to those new year’s resolutions.  My first impression of The Ivy was that it was STUNNING. The décor is truly amazing and even the toilets are decorated beautifully. It w

EATING VEGAN IN... PRAGUE

Back in December, I was turning 21 and I had no idea how I wanted to celebrate. I was sat in my university house when I got a text from my mum saying she had booked for me and my family to go to Prague for three days over Christmas to celebrate my birthday. I was THRILLED, (thanks mum and dad).  We were due to fly on boxing day at 4pm, so the evening of Christmas day was spent packing for the next three days in Prague. It was lovely to have something to look forward to after Christmas in order to rid of those Boxing Day blues.  Day One: Flying, Cheap Beer and Late Dinners Time soon flew by and before we knew it, we were off to Birmingham Airport to catch our flight. We landed in Prague at around 8pm and the first thing we did was head straight to the pub. We had a couple of beers (which worked out to be less than a pound each!!!) and waiting for the host of our apartment to arrive.    We were staying right in the centre next to Old Town Square, so were able to walk e
