New For The Vegan Pantry. by Veggie Vision

Here is another fabulous round up of the vegan food and alcoholic drink products that we want to have in our cupboards and fridges at all times! We loved this range - you can actually taste the tomatoes in the tomato sauce! The mayo is creamy and the BBQ sauce is great on anything!

‍Dr Will's

‍Delicious gourmet ketchups and mayos are free from refined sugars and sweetened naturally with dates. The vegan range includes Tomato Ketchup, Beetroot Ketchup and BBQ Sauce - all free from refined sugars and sweetened with two dates per bottle. They’re really rich and full of umami due to the amount of tomatoes that they pack in. Their vegan mayo is zesty and rich, made with cold pressed Yorkshire rapeseed oil, organic soy beans and apple cider vinegar.

We remember the time when a vegan pizza was something we could only dream about.... or make ourselves! Chicago Town have not scrimped on the toppings either!

Chicago Town’s

A debut vegan pizza which gives vegans, and flexitarians, the option to enjoy a gooey, indulgent pizza that is jam-packed with sticky BBQ flavour.

The new pizza features Chicago Town’s unique rising Takeaway dough, topped with juicy peppers and onions, loaded with jackfruit in a sticky BBQ sauce and finished off with tasty, dairy-free mozzarella. If that wasn’t epic enough, it even comes with Chicago Town’s awesome signature tomato sauce stuffed crust!

Rachel Bradshaw, Chicago Town Marketing Manager, said: “Bringing pizza to pizza lovers has always been our passion so we’re really excited to be launching Chicago Town’s first ever vegan Stuffed Crust Takeaway pizza."

“We’ve gone to town on our new saucy vegan pizza with a delicious Sticky BBQ Jackfruit topping which is a key trend ingredient in the plant-based market.

A nice glass of wine as a weekend treat goes down well here at VV TV from time to time. Although we do not drink that much alcohol at all, when we do we make sure it is vegan friendly. These 2 new vegan friendly wines are available at Sainsbury's.... and OMG they are in our top 5 of wines we have ever tasted.
