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,

Food Friday's LSE Garrick Cafe

Every Friday, I treat myself to lunch out. Not only do I get to explore different places to eat but also it's nice to get outside on my lunch break.  So, I wanted to do a weekly post about where I eat and what I eat.  Today I went to eat at LSE Garrick Café. I have gone here a few times as it is often quieter than other parts cafes in London. LSE Garrick cafe as you would suspect is popular with students but is open to the general public. They offer delicious salads, gluten free cakes, cakes, pastries and teas. The café has large windows which not only make the place light and airy but also makes the perfect spot for people watching! A guilty pleasure of mine. I had planned to walk around afterwards but sadly it was chucking it down with rain. Today I had a: Sweet Chilli Salmon Salad, Gluten Free Bakewell Cake Slice and a Peppermint tea.  Costs: £8:20 Where is your favourite place to eat and what do you have?  Love,  E.x 

Advice to University Freshers Students

Congratulations to those who have received your A-Level result today. You made it! I hope you achieved what you wanted. If not you should still be proud of what you achieved as you worked incredibly hard. Though it sounds cheesy, it is true that everything happens for a reason, even if you can't see that reason now. I still remember my A-level results day. I didn't sleep at all the night before as I was so nervous! I got the grades to get into my first choice University, I was thrilled. Being the only one awake in my house, I ran upstairs to my Mum who was asleep in bed and woke her up to tell her! Then sat on her bed crying tears of happiness and relief. Before I get started on my advice for Freshers, I wanted to highlight that University is not the only option in life. Some people flourish better in a work environment than they do in an academic environment.  Research all your options and do what feels right for you. I know schools, a least from my experience and th...

The Low Maintenance Girl: Morning and Evening Skincare Routine

Welcome to part two of my first trilogy, The Low Maintenance Girl (yay!). Don't forget to check out part one for my low maintenance haircare routine . Here is my simple yet effective skincare routine for the low maintenance girl. I would describe my skin as a combination with the occasional hormonal breakout. All I want is clear skin!  In the morning I use No7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser and my No7 facial brush. The cleanser is liquid in the bottle and comes out as a foam which can only be explained by magic! I move the facial brush over my face in circular motions. Before washing off the cleanser with a flannel soaked in warm water. This leaves my skin feeling fresh, soft and removes any excess oils. I then finish with Nivea Daily Essentials Rich Moisturising Day cream which has a light fragrance, sinks in quickly (I can almost feel my skin drinking up the hydrating goodness) and has SPF 15 to protect my skin from the sun. In the evening ...
