Posted on August 5, 2019 by Jenny

NOTE: NO LONGER SERVING VEGAN OPTIONS All my friends who’ve been to Japan recommended staying at a ryokan for at least one night while we were there: this is traditional Japanese accommodation where you are served your meals in your … Continue reading →

VeganMoFo 2019: T’s TanTan, Tokyo

Posted on August 4, 2019 by Jenny

Several days into my Japanese VeganMoFo theme, it’s finally time for some bonafide Japanese food! I wasn’t really sure how much Japanese food we’d find in vegan eateries, and I’d expected to find a reasonable amount of vegan sushi. But … Continue reading →

VeganMoFo 2019: Nataraj Harajuku Omotesando, Tokyo

Posted on August 3, 2019 by Jenny

VeganMoFo 2019: Ain.Soph, Tokyo and Kyoto

Posted on August 1, 2019 by Jenny

Vegan in Prague: Lifehouse

Posted on June 24, 2019 by Jenny

UPDATE: this restaurant closed in 2023 I’ve been stuck in something of a food rut lately – too tired to dig into a new cookbook, always preferring the comfort of recipes that I know and love. And even though the … Continue reading →

Vegan in Birmingham: Natural Bar & Kitchen

Posted on June 10, 2019 by Jenny

UPDATE: THIS RESTAURANT CLOSED IN 2020 As a rule, I don’t trust eateries with the word “natural” in the title. For one thing, as scientist Dr HH delights in telling me, ‘natural’ is not synonymous with ‘good for you’. “Arsenic … Continue reading →

Posted on June 3, 2019 by Jenny

It’s quite tricky finding a restaurant in Prague that serves both meaty and vegan dishes, so discovering such a place is always wildly exciting. I prefer giving my money to all-vegan establishments, but sometimes you need somewhere that will please … Continue reading →
