After a full day wandering through and around London, I ended up in Brick Lane for dinner, my last stop before jumping back onto the train to Harlow.

Brick Lane is famous for its Indian and Bangladeshi restaurants, but these days it’s also full of vintage shops, cafés, bars, galleries, street art and creative studios.

It has definitely gentrified, but it still has that multicultural London energy I love.

Tucked amongst it all was Merkamo, a vegan Ethiopian restaurant serving bold, plant-based food from the heart.

I ordered a platter, which is my favourite way to eat Ethiopian food because you get to taste a little bit of everything.
Stews.
Lentils.
Vegetables.
Spices.
Garlic.
So many flavours and textures.

And of course, Injera — the soft, tangy Ethiopian sourdough flatbread you tear and use to scoop everything up with your fingers.
Such a unique flavour, texture and way of eating. I love it!

Relaxed.
Joyful.
Messy in the best way.

On my rare day trip into central London, I stopped in at 123V.

Modern.
Fresh.
Creative.
Entirely plant-based.

Created by renowned French chef Alexis Gauthier (an incredibly passionate chef), 123V takes vegan food to another level, proving that plant-based dining can be every bit as elegant, beautiful and exciting as traditional fine dining.

The concept is simple:

Open people’s eyes to just how delicious plant-based food can be.

And it absolutely succeeds.

I arrived for a late lunch and, thanks to everyone being out Christmas shopping, I had the whole restaurant to myself.

Just me, a beautiful dining room, a glass of bubbles and some seriously impressive vegan sushi.

I ordered a small selection of nigiri including the Zalmon, Toro, Beetroot and Green Velvet Pea.

The colours, presentation and textures were stunning.

Each piece was carefully crafted to mimic the appearance and experience of traditional sushi, while celebrating vegetables and plant-based ingredients in a completely new way.

It was playful, creative and delicious.

The kind of food that makes you smile because you can see how much thought and skill has gone into every bite.

I only wish I could have ordered more.

But that day was all about exploring London one bite at a time.

There was simply too much to see, do and taste in a single day.

I must have walked at least 15 kilometres, if not more, wandering through streets, shops, markets and neighbourhoods that I hadn’t visited in years.

And I loved every minute of it.

London has a way of doing that.

It’s busy, chaotic, diverse, creative and endlessly interesting.

You never quite know what you’ll discover around the next corner.

One day simply isn’t enough.

And while 123V was a wonderful experience, it also left me wanting to visit Alexis Gauthier’s celebrated fine dining restaurant one day.

If the sushi is this good, I can only imagine what the tasting menu is like.

One of the things I love most about London is that people from all over the world come here to share their culture, food and ideas.

Big Sister Café is a perfect example.

Created by a French couple testing the waters of London’s vegan scene, this beautiful little plant-based café feels like a hidden European escape tucked away in Peckham.

The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming and effortlessly cool.

Plants everywhere.
Second-hand furniture full of character.
An old-school soundtrack playing in the background.
The kind of place that instantly makes you slow down and stay a little longer.

It feels a bit like being on holiday.

The menu is seasonal, modern and beautifully curated, offering quality local ingredients and creative plant-based dishes.

Whether you’re popping in for a specialty coffee, quality tea, breakfast or brunch, everything feels thoughtfully considered.

I stopped in for a coffee and an open sandwich topped with avocado, tomatoes and their own house-made creamy feta.

The presentation was beautiful. And so delicious!

Simple ingredients, thoughtfully prepared, proving once again that plant-based food doesn’t need to be complicated to be delicious.

It’s little independent places like this that make exploring London’s vegan scene so much fun.

If you’re ever in Peckham London and someone tells you that you can buy almost anything at Khan’s Bargains…believe them.

This place is legendary.

Part international food market, part grocery store, part discount shop, part hardware shop, part treasure hunt.

You walk in looking for one thing and somehow leave with ten.

Fresh produce.
Spices from around the world.
Middle Eastern ingredients.
European delicacies.
Kitchen gadgets.
Tools & DIY bits.
Household essentials.
Hair and skin products you can’t seem to find anywhere else.

And somehow all under one roof.

What makes it even more special is the building itself.

Khan’s Bargains occupies the magnificent former Holdron’s Department Store, a stunning Art Deco landmark that was once part of Peckham’s famous “Golden Mile” shopping district.

The building dates back to the 1930s and has become one of Peckham’s most recognisable and beloved landmarks.

I love places with history, character and soul, and Khan’s has all three.

As a vegan foodie and vegan cheesemaker, I was especially excited by the range of international vegan products.

I found vegan cheeses I’d never tried before, along with some delicious vegan pâtés that immediately found their way into my shopping basket. Delicious!

Needless to say, they didn’t last long.

What I love most about Khan’s is that it reflects everything that makes Peckham special.

It’s the kind of place where locals shop alongside chefs, artists, families, students and curious visitors.

Peckham is a bit like my neighbourhood, Newtown, in Sydney, Australia:
diverse, creative, multicultural and full of independent businesses, hidden gems and interesting characters.

Khans is a luxury dollar shop filled with amazing international foods, hidden treasures and unexpected discoveries…

🌱 Cheese & Meats 🌱

I made a rare trip into central London during my stay in the UK.

To be honest, I didn’t get to spend much time exploring the city itself, as my hands were full with other, more important personal matters.

But I did manage to squeeze in a visit to Waitrose in the city, one of the UK’s premium supermarkets, to check out their vegan cheese and plant-based products ranges.

As a vegan cheesemaker, I simply can’t help myself.

Whenever I travel, I’m always curious to see what products are available and how different countries are embracing plant-based food.

What immediately caught my attention was the vegan cheese selection.

Waitrose had even more options than Tesco, which was exciting to see.

Shelves filled with dairy-free cheddars, smoked cheeses, soft cheeses and other plant-based meat alternatives.

Of course, I couldn’t leave empty-handed.

A few cheeses somehow found their way into my basket for “research purposes.”

Some were better than others, but that’s all part of the fun.

I love seeing how quickly the plant-based category is evolving and how much choice consumers now have.

As a vegan traveller, that accessibility makes a huge difference.

The fact that you can walk into an everyday supermarket and find a growing range of plant-based products shows just how mainstream vegan food has become in the UK.

And as someone who spent years handcrafting small-batch vegan cheeses in Australia, I find that incredibly exciting to see.

Eating Vegan in London was so easy.
The local Tesco’s had so many plant-based alternatives to add to dishes.

I eat whole food plant based so my meals are mostly fruit, nut, seed, legumes and vegetable based, BUT whilst in London I wanted to experience the diversity of products it had to offer.

There are simply hundreds more products to choose from, making plant-based eating while travelling incredibly easy.

That’s what I loved about the UK.
Vegan food isn’t hidden away anymore.
It’s become part of everyday life.

🌱 | Butter | Cream | Custard | Sour Cream | Pudding | 🌱

As an ex dairy lover and cheese addict, I was in plant-based dairy-feee heaven when I found delicious alternatives for cream, custard (the whole carton to myself) and butter (on toast) … and pudding (a few a night).
I felt my inner child, happy memories, all over again as I feasted on these products.

The UK is definitely far more advanced than Australia when it comes to supermarket vegan options.

🌱 Cheese 🌱

I was happy to find plant-based cheeses at the local Tesco’s supermarket.

They weren’t Artisanal, and as a small batch Vegan Cheesemaker I am fussy about the quality of food I eat, but I really enjoyed trying them out.
My favourites were the Applewood (made by the same company that make Jarlsberg) and the Cathedral City Cheddar.
Both had authentic familiar tastes and textures.

As a vegan traveller, that kind of accessibility makes a huge difference.

While we were staying in Harlow, a beautiful little historic country town just under two hours from London, we did most of our grocery shopping at Tesco’s supermarket.

I was so happy and surprised by how many vegan and plant-based products were available.

It was fun and delicious to try so many new products. I typically make my own at home in Sydney, Australia.
I ❤️ yoghurt with my fruit salad!

The East End of London has always been famous for its authentic Indian and Pakistani canteens and restaurants. And every time I return to London, they seem to be getting a little bit fancier.

But this trip, we found an absolutely fantastic little South Indian restaurant much closer to home, in Peckham, where we used to live over 20 years ago.

Ganapati felt warm and authentic from the moment we walked in.

The food wasn’t trying too hard.No gimmicks.No trendy fusion.Just beautifully cooked homestyle Southern Indian food with loads of vegan options and incredible flavours.

We had crispy poppadoms with chutneys and pickles and onion and spinach bhajis, to start. Then dhal, coconut rice, flaky Kerala paratha and Tirupati Aubergine curry.

The aubergines were rich, smoky and deeply spiced in a velvety coconut and sesame sauce that we honestly could have eaten by the bucket.

Even the coconut rice was beautifully fragrant, which added another layer of flavour and richness to the meal.

We also had a gorgeous comforting dhal loaded with curry leaves and mustard seeds, plus the super flaky paratha bread was incredible. 

As chefs ourselves, we really appreciate places that understand balance and restraint in spice and seasoning…and Ganapati absolutely nailed it.

I also loved that the vegan dishes weren’t trying to imitate meat. They celebrated vegetables, lentils, spices and traditional cooking techniques in their own right.
