š± Exploring the Southwest Vegan Festival: Inspiration, Delicious Eats, and New Adventures! š±
š We had an amazing day at the Southwest Vegan Festival in Southampton, sharing our passion for tasty, nutritious, and easy-to-prepare vegan food. Hereās a glimpse of our experience:
š½ļø Talking Vegan Essentials: We had the chance to chat with new vegans and those just starting their plant-based journey. Our focus? Sharing practical tips on how to eat well without breaking the bank, and where to find inspiration for delicious vegan meals. It was all about food, food, food!
š§ Sweet Discoveries: We stumbled upon some incredible vegan treats, including Battenberg cake (yes, it's back on the menu!) and plant-based custard tarts made with coconut milk. Who knew marzipan is often accidentally vegan? Time to make that Battenberg at home!
š Plantain Love: Tried plantain for the first timeāthink of it as a sweet, crispy cousin of the sweet potato. Whether fried or baked, it's a new ingredient we're excited to experiment with. Stay tuned, we might just dedicate an entire episode to this versatile gem!
š Diverse Flavours: We explored flavours from around the world, from Jamaican jerk soya wraps to Mediterranean gluten-free pastries. It was a reminder that vegan food is as diverse and exciting as it gets!
š Learning the Science: We met a chef who opened our eyes to the science behind vegan cooking. Creating flavour and texture from scratch is a whole different ball game, and weāre excited to dive deeper into this topic.
This festival was a treasure trove of ideas, inspiration, and of course, delicious food. Whether youāre a new vegan or a long-time plant-based foodie, events like this are a fantastic way to connect, learn, and enjoy all the amazing flavors our lifestyle has to offer.

Navigating Vegan Life in Spain: Tips, Tricks, and Tasty Discoveries
1. Self-Catering is Key: Make sure your accommodation has an oven, hob, and ideally a stick blender.2. Batch Cooking is Your Friend: Prepare large quantities of beans, sauces, and other essentials ahead of time.3. Stock Up When You Can: Larger supermarkets have a better selection of vegan products, so grab what you need when you Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast
Welcome back to The Whole Food Vegan Podcast! š± Whether you're a seasoned vegan or just curious about incorporating more plant-based meals into your diet, we're here to help you enjoy a wonderfully varied, tasty, easy-to-prepare, and nutritious whole food plant-based diet. No Crap. No Agenda.
Living and Eating Vegan in Spain: What We Learned
In our latest adventure, we packed our bags (and our vegan essentials) and headed to sunny Spain for a month of working remotely and, of course, exploring the local vegan food scene. What we found was both surprising and challengingābut ultimately rewarding. Hereās the lowdown on what itās like to live and eat as a vegan in Spain.
Before You Go: Setting Expectations
Spain is known for its rich culinary traditions, but those traditions don't always cater to a vegan lifestyle. Our expectations were a mix of optimism and caution. We anticipated some challenges but also expected to find hidden vegan gems along the way. And while Spain didnāt disappoint, it certainly kept us on our toes!
Self-Catering: A Vegan's Best Friend
We opted for self-catering accommodation to ensure we could prepare our own meals when needed. This was a lifesaver, as the availability of vegan options in local shops was limited. For instance, we couldnāt find vegan mayonnaise or tofu in the smaller towns, which meant we had to get creative. Making homemade vegan mayo with soy milk, mustard, lemon, and oil became a go-to, especially once we borrowed a stick blender from our Airbnb hosts (pro tip: always ask if your accommodation has one!).
Navigating the Local Markets
Spainās fresh produce is a dreamāthink giant, juicy peppers and lemons straight from the tree. However, the way you buy vegetables is a bit different. In many local shops, youāll need to queue to be served rather than helping yourself. Once we got the hang of it, it was smooth sailing. The fruit and veg are worth the effort, and youāll never look at a supermarket tomato the same way again.
The Search for Protein: Dried Beans to the Rescue
One of the biggest surprises was the lack of canned beans. Instead, we found dried beans, which required a bit more preparation but ended up being a cheaper and more sustainable option. Batch cooking and freezing portions saved the dayādefinitely something to consider if you're planning a long stay.
Eating Out: Manage Your Expectations
Eating out as a vegan in Spain can be hit or miss. In some areas, you might find a single vegan option on the menu (hello, salad!). But donāt be afraid to askāthe locals are often willing to accommodate, even if itās not explicitly on the menu. And if youāre ever near Gibraltar, a stop at Samās Kitchen is a must for vegan goodies.

Welcome to the Whole Food Vegan Podcast! We're all about exciting vegan food with no crap and no agenda. Our mission is to help you enjoy a varied, tasty, easy-to-prepare, and nutritious whole food plant-based diet. Today, we're thrilled to have Bob and Iris from Solkiki Chocolate join us.
Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast
From Passion to Craft
Bob and Iris began their chocolate journey in 2008, driven by Iris's craving for vegan white chocolate. They started experimenting with ingredients, and over the years, they've refined their process to create some of the world's best chocolateāvegan or otherwise. They've been vegan for nearly 30 years and 17 years respectively, and their commitment to quality and flavor shines through in every bar.
Award-Winning Chocolate
Solkiki Chocolate has won multiple awards, often competing against traditional dairy chocolates and coming out on top. Their goal has always been to create the best chocolate possible, not just the best vegan chocolate. This dedication has earned them accolades and a loyal following.
The Craft of Chocolate Making
Bob and Iris use only the finest organic ingredients. Their current cocoa butter, rich with tropical fruit notes like pineapple and mango, is a testament to their commitment to quality. They believe that good chocolate starts with good ingredients and that there's no need to add dairy, which only detracts from the natural flavours.
Savour the Flavour
Eating Solkiki chocolate is an experience. They recommend savouring each piece like a fine wineātake your time, smell it, let it melt slowly on your tongue, and enjoy the complex flavours. Their chocolate is more than a treat; it's a mini meditation, a journey through taste.
Unique and Ethical
All of Solkiki's chocolates are available on their website, offering the freshest product and the most choice. They have around 60 varieties, each crafted with care in their small, dedicated workspace. Their chocolate-making process is meticulous, from roasting and cracking beans to grinding and tempering.
The Future of Solkiki
Despite their success, Bob and Iris remain hands-on in every aspect of their business. They are passionate about expanding the market for high-quality, vegan chocolate and encouraging others to explore chocolate making as a hobby or business.
Connect with Solkiki
You can find Solkiki Chocolate on their website, solkiki.co.uk, and on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
Mention that you heard about them on the Whole Food Vegan Podcast, and they might include a special treat in your order!

In this episode we interview Anthony Masiello who successfully used a whole food plant based diet to assist with losing over 11st.
One of the most inspiring parts of Anthonyās story is how it took a life-altering event such as being turned down for a life insurance policy while still in his 30ās for him to understand he needed to make a 180 degree shift in his life. Almost overnight he went from a 17-year career in the pharmaceutical industry to realizing there had to be a better way to live for him and his family. During his time eating meat and dairy he became morbidly obese, was medicated for high blood pressure, and suffering from psoriasis, eczema, migraine headaches, and sleep apnea. With his transition to a whole food plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle, Anthony lost 160 lbs. and reversed all these conditions. Basically, Anthony was sick and tired of being sick and tired.
His commitment to a whole food plant based diet and lifestyle allowed him to basically become an entirely different person. He has maintained that weight loss, optimal health, and an incredible quality of life for more than 16 years and counting. Anthony shares with us the impetus for his lifestyle change, the challenges and the opportunities and goes into detail about the positive health effects eating a WFPB diet and maintaining a healthy lifestyle has made. He is on a mission to dramatically shift the healthcare focus from pill-based management to the prevention and reversal of chronic disease by enabling millions of people to implement lifestyle changes that will truly improve the quality of their lives.

In this episode we talk about:
Ingredient substitutesMeat alternativesAdditivesWe look specifically at how you can replace and veganise:
EggsPasta (fresh)CheeseCreamWhite/Cheese SauceHoneyPastryBeef/LambChickenFishBaconWe then talk about a vegan recipe for Lasagne.
Finally, we mention a whole range of āEā numbers which you might want to avoid as a vegan.
Hereās the vegan/gluten free cake we mentioned, go look up the recipe
We also mentioned a Lebanese flat bread that we had from Vivo Lounge, itās in their main menu range.
Veganising a non-vegan recipe is a great way to adapt your favourite dishes to be plant-based. Here are some more tips to help you āveganiseā a non-vegan recipe:
Substitute animal-based ingredients: Replace ingredients like meat, dairy, and eggs with plant-based alternatives. For example, use tofu, tempeh, or seitan in place of meat, plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk) instead of dairy milk, and flaxseed or applesauce instead of eggs.Explore dairy alternatives: Use plant-based alternatives like coconut milk, cashew cheese, or nutritional yeast to replace dairy products in recipes. These alternatives can provide similar tastes and textures.Opt for plant-based fats: Replace butter with plant-based oils such as olive oil, coconut oil, or vegan margarine.Experiment with spices and herbs: Enhance the flavours of your dishes with a variety of spices and herbs. Get creative and try different combinations to suit your taste preferences.Boost the protein content: Include protein-rich ingredients like legumes (such as chickpeas or lentils), quinoa, tofu, or tempeh to make your veganised recipe more satisfying and nutritious.Pay attention to texture: Consider the texture of the original non-vegan recipe and choose appropriate substitutes. For example, mashed bananas can replace eggs in some dessert recipes to maintain moisture and binding.Adapt cooking methods: Adjust cooking times and temperatures as needed when using plant-based ingredients. Some vegan ingredients may require less time or different cooking techniques.Remember, it may take some trial and error to perfect your veganised version of a non-vegan recipe. Donāt be afraid to experiment and have fun with it! Happy vegan cooking!

In this episode we take a deep look into the use of a slow cooker which, in our opinion is a must for any vegan cook. We talk about:
the benefits of a slow cooker, including the cost of running a slow cookerthe different types of slow cookerslow cooker recipesslow cooker tips and tricksComparing a slow cooker cost with the cost of an oven
In the show I mentioned about reducing energy costs, here are my calculations.
Assuming an energy cost of 33p per kwh (about typical as at December 2022 in the UK)A 200W slow cooker which is on for 6 hours would use 1200wh = 1.2kwh.
1.2kwh X 0.33 = 39pA 2000w = 2kw oven which is on for a comparable cooking time of 40 min = 1.3KWH
1.3kwh X 0.33 = 43pBUT, if you decided to cook a jacket potato in a 2kw oven, and left it on for 4 hours, that would be 8kwh = 8 x 0.33 = Ā£2.64, so this is where the huge saving comes in with using a slow cooker.
