Chickpea and corn fritters – perfect for a Sunday lunch

What an amazing experience it was! The atmosphere was so great, we could feel that we were surrounded by like-minded people. The best part about it being a solely vegan food fair is that no matter which stall you visit, YOU NEVER HAVE TO ASK WHAT THE INGREDIENTS ARE!

Vegan “butter chicken” curry recipe…

No, that wasn’t a typo, it’s a vegan “butter chicken” curry!

Well… not really but its close enough! In this recipe, you substitute butter with olive oil and chicken with a variety of veggies. The reason behind it being called “butter chicken” is that, for this curry, we used the Butter Chicken Spice Blend from Woolworths – which is, in itself, vegan.

Spicy Butternut soup

This awesome, smooth butternut soup will warm you up inside and out! While great for winter days, this soup can be just as thoroughly enjoyed year-round. Of course, if you are not partial to chili in your food, just don’t add it, simple as that. This means that anyone can enjoy it!

Starbucks Vegan Options
