Food Fridays: By Chloe. Vegan Restaurant.

Happy Friday! Welcome to my second instalment of Food Fridays. Here is last weeks post in case you missed it https://bit.ly/2MjqSfB.

I heard of By Chloe. whilst making coffee in my office, someone from another company was discussing how amazing it was. Once I heard it was vegan my ears pricked up. I do enjoy eating vegan food as I don't like red meat or chicken and try to reduce my dairy intake.

I looked at the website and was instantly hungry just looking at all the amazing options. From home comforts such as Mac and Cheese, British Classics such as Fish and Chips, Salads and best of all, sweet treats including cookies and cupcakes! All vegan and all plant-based, amazing!

There are only two in the UK, one in Covent Garden and one in Tower Bridge. Luckily for me, my office is near Covent Garden so I decided to treat myself.

I chose to have Mac and Cheese (gluten-free) and Chocolate Cupcake with a Vanilla Icing (also gluten-free!). The total cost was £12.50 (only £10:50 if you don't have gluten-free pasta.)



It was gorgeous! The pasta had just the right amount of chew and the sauce was creamy with a kick of paprika. The cupcake was so moist (the only time that would is acceptable to use, even though it still makes me cringe a little) yet light topped with cute pink frosting and sprinkles. I would definitely go again and would recommend to everyone whether your vegan or not.


Now the most important part, (the food!) is covered off I will now discuss the experience. The restaurant is tucked away in Dury Lane so easy to miss if you don't know its there but great to escape to for a bit of peace in London. Not that they weren't busy, they were pretty much full when I arrived. You order at the counter and they give you a device that will buzz when you need to collect your food. I only had to wait ten minutes for food. I did not mind as the surroundings were so beautiful. The decor was very simple yet elegant and I loved plant pots bringing some life into the design. They also had hanging chairs which looked so much fun, sadly, they were all taken!

As the weather is was lovely today, I decided to explore Drury Lane Gardens which are just behind By Chloe. The garden is like a secret treasure, I only found out about it looking to get direction for By Chloe. from google maps! It has a kids park and benches in the shade. I will have to go back one day and read my book there.



Do you have a favourite vegan restaurant? If so what is it?

Love,

Booja-Booja Fine De Champagne Truffles Review

Now, who doesn't love chocolate? I certainly do! Though, I try not to eat it too often partly because I know it is not good for you and partly because dairy can make me bloat (attractive, I know!!). These Booja-Booja Fine De Champagne Truffles are by far my favourite chocolate treat. They are dairy-free and only contain six natural ingredients. Unlike most dairy-free chocolates I have tried these actually melt in your mouth and have a smooth centre similar to the creamy and smooth centre of Lindt truffles. The light champagne taste is subtle and comes as more of a refreshing aftertaste. It takes a lot of willpower for me not to eat the whole box in one sitting! The packaging is also beautiful making them a lovely gift for friends, family and even for yourself!  What is your favourite sweet treat?  Love,  E. x

Day Out: Camden Market, Primrose Hill and Regents Park

Hope you are all enjoying your bank holiday weekend so far! Today, as the weather was the perfect summers day, sunny with a fresh breeze, I decided to take a walk. I started at Camden Town walking through Camden Market, Primrose Hill and Regents Park before getting the tube home from Baker Street. Prepare yourself for a lot of photos in this blog post, which I hope you enjoy as much as enjoyed taking them! Camden Shop Fronts When I first arrived at Camden Town the first thing that caught my eye was the bold shop displays. All brightly coloured, some with impressive 3D features which you can't help but admire. Pret a Manger and Acessorize Shop Fronts. 3D Shop Fronts More 3D Shop Fronts. Camden Lock  Nothing beats a stroll down a river to clear you mind! I love the mixture of buildings covered by weeping willow trees.

Favourite Teas August 2018

What is nicer than sitting down after a long day with a cup of tea and a sweet treat? (perhaps a Booja-Booja truffle! see review here: https://bit.ly/2vw8BBg ). Here are my top five favourite teas at the moment. Irish Breakfast- Barry's Tea I buy this Irish tea from the world foods section of my supermarket. For years I didn't drink breakfast tea as to me it tasted like dishwater. How very un-British of me! That was until earlier this year when I tried Barry's Tea. Barry's tea tastes stronger than other breakfast teas I have tried and it has a sweet yet earthy taste. The perfect drink for a quiet evening in. Bedtime Infusion- Sainsbury's  I brought this tea when I had trouble sleeping with my anxiety. The tea itself tastes like sweet camomile and smells like lavender. The whole experience of drinking this tea very calming and is the perfect way to wind down after a busy day or went I feel on edge. Pure Peppermint- Twinings Peppermint tea is...
