Forget the old stereotypes of Austria as a land of carnivorous schnitzel-munching wurst-gobblers. Modern Österreich is a far more enlightened and veg-friendly place than such outdated clichés suggest, and Graz’s thriving vegan food scene is a case in point.

Supernova! Italian food that’s out of this world
Rather fittingly for a trip up north, the day we went to Edinburgh was the precise day I realised autumn had properly begun.

When I can, I steer clear of omnivore eating establishments, but something about an afternoon at the Swan, a pub and restaurant attached to the Globe theatre in London, appealed to my latent luvvie. Having booked a vegan tea, there was no problem when I arrived, and even the included cocktail, which normally contains honey,Continue reading “The highs and lows of afternoon tea and cake at Shakespeare’s Globe”
Big solution to a little cake emergency
