Kofta Style Bites

Redwood’s Mini Meat Free Kofta Bites

Spicy kofta’s from Redwood.   These spicy mini koftas have a curried spice flavour and the texture reminded me of veggie burgers.  I thought they were OK but not something I would rush out and buy again.  I had mine in some Pitta Bread with some stir fry vegetables.

You can eat them cold as they are ready to eat, I personally prefer warm food so I lightly fried mine.

Each 165gram pack is Vegan and Vegetarian Society Approved.  Meat Free, Dairy Free, Cholesterol Free.  Per 100grams is 194kcal.  Sold in health food shops or on line.

I really like the new mini assorted veggie sausages from Redwoods, I reviewed them earlier

Please note my reviews are always honest and unbiased, however I feel it only right to point out that Redwood’s did supply this product for me to review.

Forest Feast Brazil Nuts

Whole Brazil Nuts

From Forest Feast little bags of Brazil Nuts.   These Brazil Nuts are good,  they are air tight so have kept the moisture.  Brazil nuts are super good for you,  they are rich in Selenium and vitamin E. Also they are filling.  A diet of plenty of nuts and fruit is very good for you and can aid weight loss, as I mentioned in my previous post.  I find if you have a couple of nuts with your meal or dessert you feel fuller for longer.

These 75gram bags are vegan & vegetarian as it only contains Brazil Nuts, Per 100 grams is 682kcal.  Sold in Spar shops.

Quarry Veggie Cafe in Machynlleth

Located in the heart of this small town a purely vegetarian cafe with a good selection of Vegan options.

The food is very simplistic, nothing fancy, with dishes such as baked potatoes,  vegetable bakes, stews and veggie burgers with a selection of salads.  There are vegan cakes and plenty of choice of drinks.

The cafe is very rustic in style and has a very friendly atmosphere.  The prices are quite reasonable.

Very easy to spot in town just look for the big red awning.

This cafe has a sister cafe at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) near the town.  This place is a wonderful setting to learn about solar, wind and alternative power generation.  When you have taken in all the sights you can then have a rustic veggie meal in the veggie cafe on site.

Ivory Coast and Ecuador Plain Chocolate

Tesco 85% Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolate from Tesco with 85% cocoa from the Ivory Coast and Ecuador region.   A dark bitter chocolate.  I like it,  but I do like very dark chocolate,  I don’t think that many people will like it this dark.  This would be a good chocolate for cooking.

Each 100gram bar is suitable for vegetarians, vegan as far as I can tell, per 100grams is 550kcal.  Sold in tescos.

Personally I like chocolate from Montezumas range or for a fancier treat type chocolate I like the Vegan Hotel Chocolat.
