Dinner at Vegan Hotel Saorsa 1875
Recently (okay not actually but time is moving too fast, Adam Sandler hit fast forward again or something) we had dinner at Saorsa 1875, the UK’s first vegan hotel as it bills itself, or the Saoirse Ronan hotel, as we call it. It’s located in Pitlochry, Scotland, a lovely tourist town with a great theatre (see here and here). You can’t have […]

Dinner at the new fully vegan Alter London
This week, we had dinner – out – in a restaurant – for the first time since, well, you know. All this shiz. It was our wedding anniversary, so a fairly decent reason to risk our lives for a great meal, I guess. Last week or so I wrote about our return to the theatre, and how thank god it was a […]

London Has a New Restaurant Called ‘Bubala’ and Obvs I Love It
Bubala, a Yiddish term of endearment dispensed by elder aunts and bubbes the world over, is also the name of a fantastic new (ish) vegetarian restaurant in London. The word is a cute lil diminutive meaning sweetheart or dearie (not in a creepy Rumpelstiltskin way) that all Jews or Jew-adjacents know well, so to have a Tel Aviv-cafe-inspired joint with this name […]
The Frog Restaurant in Hoxton: One of London’s Best Vegan Tasting Menus
Over the weekend, I tried the vegan tasting menu at a non-vegan place and I was blown away – I think it’s one of the best vegan tasting menus out there! I know I’m starting off with a REAL bold statement but damn if I’m not telling the truth. You may already know all about our crippling addiction to tasting menus and […]
Eating Vegan and Living it UP in Muscat, Oman
As you saw in the Oman travel posts, we had a wonderful time in Muscat and the amazing sites Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole. But I know what you really care about, because it’s what I really care about (“that’s who I am, and that’s who I care about”): FOOD! and HOTELS! Specifically, how easy is it to eat vegan in Oman? […]
“Secret” Vegan Supper Club at The Gate, Marylebone
Man alive do you know how much putting “Marylebone” in the headline is stressing me out?! I NEVER spell that forking fancy pants neighborhood (dammit, it’s so fancy it’s gonna require the ‘u’) neighbourhood correctly so I must be feeling BRAVE to put it in the headline. I think the correct mnemonic is remembering it as Mary Le Bone like it’s a […]
Event at 10 Cable Street: Phenomenal Tasting Menu by Acorn Restaurant
This weekend, we had an INCREDIBLE supper club experience at 10 Cable Street, with a special dinner presented by Michelin-guided vegetarian restaurant Acorn, coming all the way from Bath to make me happy. It was a six-course tasting menu. You can see in my blog archives that I’ve had lots of vegan tasting menus in this city, and while they’ve all been […]
Shoobie Doobie Down to Dubai Where the Food is Great
Dubai was never very high on my to-do list, even though I’ve heard nothing but good reports from others. It just seemed a little plastic, a little bland, a little cultureless (and a lot problematic politically). But there’s much more to it than just being the enormous luxury mall capital of the world, and while I wouldn’t advocate choosing Dubai for a […]

Veganizing “Friends”: My FAJITAS!!!
Blurry floating food! Guac in background! We’re at that point in our Veganizing “Friends” fun when we have to acknowledge the worst mistake my beloved show ever made: Trying to make Rachel & Joey happen. UGH! The worst, right?

In Season 1’s “The One With the Stoned Guy”, he played a guy named Steve who came to the apartment to interview Monica for a restaurant job. However, as Phoebe reported, he […]

Hello everyone! If you are sticking with me through all of this “Fun with Friends” veganization, then you know that on Monday, I had a very interesting experience that left me feeling for a while like the guys do in the picture at left. It was a bit rough at times, a bit revolting, but overall it was really […]
Veganizing “Friends”: The Joey Special!!!
Today we are making the Joey Special!!! I hope you are excited, because I am. What is the Joey Special, you ask? If you recall from “The One With Ross’s Wedding”, Joey, in London for Ross’s ill-fated wedding to Emily, calls Phoebe (who couldn’t go to London because she was 9 months pregnant) and they have the following conversation: Phoebe: Ooh, […]

Dip the apples in the honey (I mean agave!), say a bracha loud and clear! L’Shana Tova U’metukah! Have a happy sweet New Year! Whee! Another faux-year has gone by, chosen ones! Rosh Hashanah is such a good holiday. It’s like regular New Year’s, but better: 1) You don’t have to make resolutions – in fact, you have 10 days to be as terrible as you […]
