Being a few weeks in to Veganuary, we are beginning to venture further into the world for inspiration. If we attempt to cook without guidance, we look back and realise we’ve had pasta four days in a row. We’re not Italian, that’s not acceptable.
Luckily for us, the Vegan Fair popped up on my Facebook as a suggested event. We decided to trawl through the snow and check it out and we were so glad we did! It was a fairly small event but included amazing stalls with cakes, clothing, skincare products and more.
In terms of the savoury food, we were slightly disappointed. When going out to a restaurant, it’s always amazing to find meals that are a new treat. We definitely believed that everything being offered on the stalls would be doable at home. However, this was reassuring in a way-at least we’re on the right track!
Naturally, I led the way to the desserts. That is all I was really there for. The photos below really speak for themselves. If anyone is in the Derby/Chesterfield area, please support these local businesses. They deserve it
Cupcakes by V Bakes. You can find Molly on Facebook and Instagram. These were amazing. Even my grandparents, who are genuinely terrified of vegan food, scoffed these. In the picture are double chocolate, chocolate mint and cookie dough. I wanted them all.
Amazing Oreo cheesecake by cococheesecakes, who can also be found on Instagram and Facebook. I just have one thing to say about this cheesecake. If I feel the same way about a human as I did about this cheesecake, I’ve met the one. Enough said.
To finish the day off nicely, we walked round the rest of the shopping centre with a nice vegan hot chocolate. Mine was made with almond milk and after an excruciatingly prolonged deliberation, mum chose oat milk. Here’s a picture of her pretending she wasn’t being grumpy because of the cold:
Overall, it was a great experience. It’s great to feel like we’re making the right things and it’s lovely to know I can still feed my greedy face with vegan desserts. Win win, really.
