This weekend, it was the Edinburgh Vegan Festival. Having had to queue up for over an hour to get in last year, I made sure I was there early on Saturday to stock up on lots of vegan goodies.
One of the first stalls we came across was Almighty Foods who make raw chocolate and nut butters. I've had quite a few of their chocolate bars before, but this was the first time I tried their nut butter. I don't like a strong nutty flavour especially peanut or hazelnut, but they make a cashew caramello butter which is AMAZING. It tasted so delicious on my porridge this morning. I'm pretty sure the jar will be finished before the month is over.
I knew quite a few of the stalls already like Henderson's, Sgaia's Vegan Mheats, Cool Jerk Vegan, Missy Vegan Cupcake and Affogato, but there were a few stalls I've never seen before like the Naked Bakery. Not only did the Naked Bakery have chocolate brioche, but they also had lots and lots of macarons. I haven't had a macaron since going vegan over two years ago, so this was probably the most exciting food I found. My only regret is that I didn't buy more than two because they were so tasty and I ate them both pretty quickly.
I also visited Shire Snax who make my favourite raw fruit and nut bars. They're like Nakd bars but taste so much better. I've bought all the flavours before, but they had a wanderlust brownie that I hadn't seen before, so I picked one of those up.
The only other thing I bought was a subscription box from The Vegan Kind. I'd heard about these boxes before, but just never signed up. They were selling the latest box for £7 instead of £10 which is such a bargin considering how much is in it. I mainly bought it to try the vegan egg, but I also have a bit of a soft spot for Made In Chelsea, so I wanted to try the new vegan Candy Kitten sweets.
