Surprise vegan buys
Having tea at a friends, I was delighted to find that McVities ginger nuts are vegan, so I had one, or three.
Then on a trip to Lidl, I checked out theirs and it turns out that Lidl’s are vegan, too – does this mean that all ginger nut biscuits are vegan?
Lidl also have several dark choclolate bars which are vegan, including a tasty orange one and a raspberry one – both good. And their pretzels are vegan.
Also, Lotus biscuits are vegan, available in lots of supermarkets, and they often come with your coffee in cafes – so you can eat them! There are quite a few other brands of biscuit out there which are vegan – a survey of biscuits is required and will appear on this website soon…

Our stand at Tour de Tod
After a wet and windy start, Saturday turned into a lovely sunny Todmorden Community day!
We had a superb spot, right by all the action, and once the crowds had assembled on Pollination St, we were inundated by people wanting to try our tasty food samples and add their names to our mailing list.
We had plenty of helpers and loads of foods for people to try and we promised to put the recipes on the website. There was some lovely new bunting & a banner and also some brilliant business cards
and flyers to advertise the baking workshop and the walk, coming up this weekend. There was so much interest in the baking workshop that we might have to put on a second one quite soon.There’s certainly a great interest out there in learning how to cook plant-based foods.
Thanks to all who made it such a successful day.
Our next stall will be in 4 weeks’ time, when we’ll put up our new gazebo in Centre Vale Park, Todmorden for Carnival Day. We’ll be handing out information and recipes, answering questions and selling burgers …. so we’ll need plenty of helpers!
