The Ordinary Vegan - Mr Kipling Pies and Tarts


This week on TOV, I am looking at shop-bought bakery. It is so hard to find vegan items in the bakery aisle at supermarkets as this is traditionally where most of the products contain some kind of dairy or eggs. I mainly bake my own but if you are out and about or need something in for unexpected guests, Mr Kipling comes to the rescue as two of the main line of products are vegan-friendly.

The first is the Apple & Blackcurrant Pies. Strangely, the Apple Pies contain dairy, but the Apple & Blackcurrant do not! There are often other seasonal pies, mainly around Christmas, which sometimes are vegan too, last year they had a winter fruit pie selection which was vegan-friendly.



In addition to the pies, the Mr Kipling Jam Tart selection is also vegan-friendly and quite often both packets are on offer for 2 for £2 in the supermarkets. The regular price is around £1.49.

They don't taste as nice as home-made but they are tasty and they are good to have in the cupboard for times when you don't have time to bake.

If you prefer to make your own vegan food, come back tomorrow for the Vegan Recipe of the Week.

The Ordinary Vegan - Linda McCartney Sausage Rolls



Hi, Vegan Vox is back from a week off and raring to go! For this week's TOV I'm sharing a great quick baked snack, ideal for lunchboxes, parties and a quick easy lunch.

Linda McCartney vegetarian sausage rolls are sold in the frozen section of many supermarkets and Holland & Barrett. They are priced at around £2 for 6 rolls. They are free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives and are labelled as vegan-friendly on the front of the box too. 


They are so simple to make, just place on a baking tray, brush with a little vegan milk and bake in a preheated oven until browned.




They colour well and puff up nicely when baked. They can be cut into quarters to make mini sausage rolls for children or for finger buffets.

What is your favourite Linda McCartney vegan-friendly product? Let me know in the comments below.

If home cooking from scratch is more your thing, please pop back tomorrow for a brand new Vegan Recipe of the Week!

Big Vegan Love,
