The expression ‘Cart Before the Horse’ comes to mind very much when I think of how I’ve went about things with pretty much everything I’ve done in my life. I started teaching Yoga before I had ever been to a Yoga class. I headed off to India to learn how to teach it before I had ever been to a Yoga studio or even knew one Yoga teacher. I started YogaHub cause it seemed like a good idea at the…
Some Sundays I wake up and really want a lazy, quick, breakfast. Pancakes on the weekend are always a good idea to me, but eating stodgy dough made using eggs, milk and refined flour never leaves anyone feeling good. Pancakes seem impossible at first for a vegan breakfast, how do you replace eggs and milk, (and in my case the gluten in the flour) ? But I knew soaking chia seeds, plus a combination of banana would replace the eggs,…
A few weeks ago I was going to a birthday dinner, a 24th birthday, where 5 out of the 10 there were vegan, the rest avid carnivores. I volunteered to make the birthday cake, someone suggested cheesecake so I thought here’s my chance to show the meat eaters how amazing vegan food is (on the sly) This is a combination of a few recipes I’d watched on Youtube before and mostly just me making it up on the spot. I’m…
Quick Quinoa – Easy Vegan Bake Do you ever have one of those days where you realise you’re hungry, and it’s already late, and you think you don’t have the ingredients there to make the dinner you imagined? Story of my life, but this is a challenge I accept and enjoy, making healthy, vegan dinners from whatever I can find. My point is, you can make tasty nutritious, vegan dinners easily, that are cheap, quick and satisfying. Many people have…
The other day I just thought what better way to warm up in winter than rich umami flavours in a delicious vegan soup? I spent nearly 4 months in Asia over the summer and since returning have been craving lots of the flavours that just aren’t found in many western dishes. This dish is by no means authentic, it’s a recipe I concocted that’s both vegan and gluten free, 2 things not very common in miso soups and ramen as the broths are…
Ingredients 1 Red/Yellow Onion 3 Cloves Garlic 500g Peas 250g Mushrooms Cauliflower/Broccoli Optional Handful of Corn 1 Kg Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes 4 Carrots Olive Oil Thyme Salt and Pepper Tsp Cider Vinegar There are so many ways to make this easy comfort food.

Jenny from HappyFood here. I’ve been working in HappyFood since February 2015. I am currently in my final year studying BSc Culinary Entrepreneurship. I’ve been working in kitchens for four years now, but became so disillusioned with the food industry when I always had to work with animal products, and the menus were always heavily based on meat, fish and dairy with little or no healthy or plant based options. So naturally when I heard about a vegan restaurant in…

‘Dwell with the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.’ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations. I’ll keep saying it until I’m blue in the face and Why? Because there will never ever be enough of it around. I make mistakes. I get things wrong. Every day is a new opportunity to be better though and that’s all I care about. I care about being better tomorrow than I am today. Is YogaHub the best Yoga studio…
