The Ordinary Vegan - Earth Balance Buttery Popcorn


Now for those of my readers in the USA, you may be wondering why I have never mentioned Earth Balance products before and my UK readers are probably wondering why this would be on TOV and not on Vegan Vox Reviews. Well my vegan friends, here are the answers.

US readers, here in the UK we do not have access to these wonderful vegan products by Earth Balance which is why I have never featured them before. UK readers, this is not a special product I have been sent for review...I found these at Tesco!! In large Tesco stores at the moment they are trialling American vegan, gluten-free and free-from products. I am hoping if they sell well they may become a regular feature so grab them whilst they are hot!



This huge 170g bag of Earth Balance Buttery Popcorn is labelled as vegan, gluten-free, is non-GMO and contains no trans fats.



They taste buttery and rich and how I remember non-vegan butter popcorn tasting. I was so excited to see these in Tesco. They sell for around £2 and they also had by Earth Balance: Sea Salt Kettle Chips, Peanut Butter Popcorn and Peanut Butter spreads.

Big Vegan Love,

Vegan Vox Reviews...Cook & Survive! by The Vegan Zombie


I have been a fan of The Vegan Zombie's YouTube Channel for ages and was so excited when they announced the general release of their fan-funded cookbook/graphic novel - Cook &  Survive!
I ordered my copy from Amazon on the day of release and waited patiently for it to be shipped over from the US. When it finally arrived, I was not disappointed.

It features a graphic novel with Chris, Jon and Indy the dog fighting their way through a zombie apocalypse which is brilliantly illustrated by Rob Kramer and then a full cookbook featuring over 85 recipes.

There are The Vegan Zombie classics such as their legendary Mac'n'Cheese, Corn Dogs and Pizza. There are healthy recipes, salads, soups, pies, raw recipes, desserts, breakfast, side dishes, nut milks, sauces and even vegan dog food!

It is an American book, so a few ingredients are harder to find here in the UK, but mainly they use standard ingredients and obviously the measurements are in cups but they also put weight in brackets so no conversions needed.

So if you love home-cooked vegan variety, American favourites and want to treat your companion animal to some great vegan treats too, this is the vegan cookbook for you!
