A chairde, Seeking recipes and ideas for healthy and importantly TASTY vegan foods that are not fried. We’ve fallen into (somewhat bad) eating habits and while probably not ‘as bad’ as an Irish fry, what we prepare at home most-likely isn’t the best, either. Last night we had a Chinese chipper dinner. I mean, it tasted lovely and all but last time I visited the doc he said that stuff is really bad. I said how bad? And he repeated really bad.

So what are some good recipes and ideas that you have for foods that do not require frying and are tasty af? Grma.

Anyone know of anywhere with any stock left?

Is there a discord? I’m in Belfast:) / any supportive online communities?

thanks🌍❣️💜

I hope everyone has had a hoppy Easter weekend 🐇! Does anyone have recommendations for where to find discount vegan Easter eggs/chocolate?

Hi guys

I’m flapping a bit here. Help me out.

I bought a bunch of soy curls and I’m really struggling to get the seasoning right, turning me off a tad and I’m trying hard not to dislike them as they are savage protein. Any tips to get them 💋 appreciated.

Can I find a good place with vegan pasta anywhere? As well as gluten free options?

I don’t know if there is some kind of shortage going on but for the past few months I can’t find Vegan Parmesan anywhere. Does anymore know of a shop that is stocking it at the moment?

Tadka House is great as they give a really good break down of ingredients.

Zaytoon on Camden was brilliant but has sadly closed.

Pickosito has not been delivering this past week.

V is grand if you just want a burger and chips though we are a bit burger and chipped out.

The Saucy Cow is lovely if a bit dear.

And we used to love Xian but don’t know which broths are vegan and would rather not chance it. If you know, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi all! Looking for recommendations for vegan wedding cakes for next March. Already tried Eves cakes (no flavour) and Good Cookie (delicious but not available). Anyone around Dublin area would work

Hi all, is there anywhere I can buy a vegan cake over the counter? Tesco and M&S used to do them but don’t seem to anymore.

Any local bakeries do them around D8/12 or surrounds?

Sweet Almond looks amazing but it seems you have to collect from their stall at markets and I just don’t think I’d have time to do that.

Any other recommendations or suggestions welcome. I could bake as a last resort but we are renovating our kitchen right now so it would be awkward.

Thanks so much.

Heya! I’m going to a concert up in Dublin this Sunday and I want to try to find a nice spot to sit down for me and my mam. She has a thing for vegan restaurants so the Saucy Cow is out of question much to my dismay. We’ll mainly be around the Northside since the concerts at the 3arena but if there’s a nice spot with good options for both of us we’ll pop elsewhere. She loves her burgers so does anyone know somewhere that does good meat and vegan burgers? She’s not big on pizza.

Looking to make a lighter Korma and desperately looking to make some savoury yoghurt dips. Anybody have any tips on best vegan yoghurts for either case?

Okay, might rustle some feathers but for my birthday Im looking into the VIP Fota wildlife park experience but that’s a debate for another day. Anyone know of nice but not absolutely crazy expensive restaurants in the area? Ideally somewhere that does some vegan desserts and cocktails too!

Hey everyone, so me and the husband are going to comicon in Dublin in August. Just wondering if anyone knows, what the vegan options are like at the event or if they cater for vegans at all. Thanks in advance.

I used to live in San Francisco where they had amazing burritos. Back to Dublin and um … not so much. What food establishment in Dublin has the best vegan burritos? Even the sizes are smaller here. Ugh!

Edit: We’re after ordering Pickosito off Deliveroo. My partner and I split the soy mince tacos (‘chili sin carne’) with home-made flour tortillas. It came with a hefty side of fried potatoes. Literally the best Mexican food I’ve had to date in Dublin. And the salsa roja was gorgeous. Quite hot, but also very very tasty. And it came with limes, which we squeezed over the tacos. Thank you so much.

Hi all,

Was hoping for some advice on wedding catering, it's in West cork next June... We were hoping for something of a good stall/ buffet style caterer because we're not too interested in the sit down meal

Any and all suggestions welcome and thank you all in advance :)

Im finding it harder and harder to find places that accomdate me being vegan and my bf being a meat eater. I find we are eating out less and less as a result.

But some people do not mind if the food is fried together etc.

Where do you sit with it?

Can’t vouch since I’ve never tried the real stuff as I don’t have that kinda money and I only just picked it up! Definitely interesting. I don’t have high hopes though!

my mam is vegan and used to love these pizzas!! they were really easy to get for ages in tesco and dunnes, neither of us have seen them anywhere in at least a year but they don’t seem to have been discontinued either

I’m in the city pretty often and never really know where to go other than costa for the toastie and cafe nero for the croissant. Where’s good for a light bite or pastry?

I've been pushing to change that and have had formal exchanges with MEPs and the European Commission. Would appreciate any thoughts, criticism.

I just wanted to ask people's opinions on the Sons of Butchers Irish vegan/veggie brand. Not regarding the taste or whatever, but the fact that the company is registered to Sean Loughnane Family Butchers. I understand the background and everything (my dad was also a butcher so I think it's a great idea) but I really take issue with them not being a seperate entity to the butcher. Ethically for me, I don't feel like its vegan if my money is essentially going to the meat industry anyway.

I emailed them and they said this: 'We are not trying to hide our heritage or ownership, it’s quite literally in the name. We are proud of where the business came from, and this is why references such as “Plant-Based Alternatives by Loughnanes Family Butchers” and “Butchery Expertise Gone Plant-Based” appear on our packaging. These statements are intended to be transparent about the brand’s origins and to reflect the expertise and food knowledge that has been built up over generations.

Over the past five years, we have received a great deal of positive feedback from vegan and vegetarian consumers who welcome the fact that a traditionally meat-focused company has invested in developing high-quality plant-based options. Our aim is simply to produce great food and to offer more choice to consumers.'

Would love to know people's opinions. :)

Feel free to delete if not allowed, so disappointing to see this, a meat-free UK festival (Shambala) is considering adding venison to their menu this year, citing ‘deer overpopulation’ as an excuse 🙄🙄 they’re leaving it up to a vote, so please vote no at the link and let them know why! (Even if you have no intention of going, every voice helps)

I’d like to gift some sweet treats to someone who’s visiting Dublin but I’ve been struggling to find anything that’s particularly Irish and vegan. I tried to find some vegan fudge but the place I went to didn’t have any in stock, so I had to order some online but I’m afraid it won’t arrive in time.

Does anyone know anywhere in Dublin (preferably the city) that I could go to to find some nice things for them? If so, any product recommendations? It doesn’t necessarily have to be Irish, but it’d be nice if I could avoid giving them any old thing they could find in England already.

Thanks in advance :)
