It’s no secret that I’m craaaazy in love with Mexican food. ♥ I thought I loved it back in my pre-vegan days when I’d smother it with cheese, but I quickly discovered that Mexican tastes sooooo much better when the flavours are left to shine on their own. Chili, lime, coriander… mmmmm… I’ve had […] Read more…
Is there anything more ‘Hollywood’ than standing on Santa Monica Boulevard wearing large sunglasses and sipping on green smoothies? Probably, but it was fun all the same. ☺ Pressed Juicery is another gem in West Hollywood, open every day and full of smiles and sunbeams! We tried the Greens 2 (kale, spinach, romaine, parsley, cucumber, […] Read more…
We didn’t check into a West Hollywood hotel because it was within walking distance of Real Food Daily, but ohhh how glad we were that it was! Our first night in LA we dined on the gluten-free Pizette: herbed crust, sun-dried tomato pesto, tomato, spinach, melted mozzarella and cashew cheese. I love my cheese-less Antipasto Pizzas but […] Read more…
We ticked a big item off our Bucket List when we touched down in L.A.: ♥••*´¨`*•.☆• Drive Route 101 from LA to San Francisco! ♥••*´¨`*•.☆• It started off so well… And then proceeded to bucket torrential rains down on broken, slippery roads for the rest of our journey, eeeekkk! Luckily we […] Read more…
The sky cried on our last day in New York City. We could have stayed indoors with all the normal people but we still hadn’t tried a Tempeh Reuben! Those magical, mythical sandwiches that all my favourite American bloggers post about. I wanted one and there was no way I was leaving NYC without […] Read more…
Oh My Grill’d! There’s a new salad dealer in town and they mean business! Intrigued by the ‘We’ve Fixed Our Salads!’ sign I spotted on Hay Street, I just had to skip on down Shafto Lane to find out what was going on. And HELLO, there’s a new Grill’d on the block! I’ve been […] Read more…
I’d read mixed reviews about the Daily Planet Cafe on Perth vegan forums and protested as Dom dragged me past Veggie Mama last Sunday morning (we still love you, Veggie Mama! We will be back!). I get so tired sometimes of paying $18 for a couple of mushrooms on toast at non-veg cafes where you have […] Read more…
It’s no secret that I’m a huge Gossip Girl fan. Was this the reason I pushed so hard for a visit to Candle 79 on the Upper East Side over a vegan restaurant anywhere else? Unlike Gossip Girl, I’ll never tell. What I will spill is what we found there. Still a little grumpy that the sub-zero NYC […] Read more…
Pure Food & Wine! Does it live up to the hype? We sent eight Australian undercover agents in to find out… DA NA NAAAAA!! Organic, raw and vegan, Pure has a cult-like following and I was super curious to check it out. Rumour has it that it’s a great place to celeb spot too, […] Read more…
Hello HELLO, beautiful souls! I’m BACK on sunny West Australian shores! Make that stormy. Not cool, Summer, not cool. But HEY, I spotted a rainbow! All is forgiven. The trip was amazing! Wanna see the snaps? Grab some popcorn and click HERE. I missed you all like crazy and felt extremely odd […] Read more…
The fact that it was almost 2pm on a Friday and the place was packed should have been the giveaway. As I jostled my way to the counter to peruse the menu and place my order, the wait staff were friendly and attentive. With enthusiasm they called the Chef in to consult on vegan […] Read more…
I love how Thai restaurants in Australia (or everywhere?) have such kooky names. Any restaurant that can get me giggling before I even enter their premises is a winner in my book. It doesn’t get much more zany than ‘Thailicious’, and the fact that they’re located in Northbridge was enough to get me giggling […] Read more…
I love going to Metrio & Co for breakfast. The warm energy, fast service and large portions are a guaranteed winner to kick off any weekend day. In the past they didn’t have a lot of vegan options to write about – it was more a case of asking for alterations to dishes on […] Read more…
Once upon a time there was a hungry vegan who caught the train through Claisebrook Station every morning and wondered about the ‘Perth City Farm‘ rumoured and signposted to exist behind the large stone wall. An organic oasis and shining beacon of sustainability in the middle of the city?? She was curious, but not curious enough […] Read more…
