Today Marks and Spencers lauched a new vegetarian version of their successful Percy Pig brand of sweets! These new gelatine-free Percy Pig fruit gums are called ‘Veggie Percy’ and each veggie Percy has a green ear, to distinguish it from the non-veggie Percy Pigs.

Eating Out
Zen Garden is an exclusively vegetarian Chinese and Thai buffet restaurant in Leather Lane, central London. It’s a restaurant that depends largely upon the custom of people working nearby, and hence it’s only open Monday-Friday and is closed at weekends.

Recipes
To celebrate the recent royal wedding I have created a vegetarian version of coronation chicken – a dish that was originally created for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. In addition to being veggie-friendly, this version is also low in fat, since it’s made with low-fat yoghurt instead of cream or mayonnaise. I have never tried coronation chicken before, but I have been told by a non-veggie that this tastes similar to the real thing!

Visit to Leon – a ‘natural fast-food’ restaurant
At the weekend Ben & I paid a visit to Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent. We arrived around lunchtime and spent a while wandering around looking for somewhere to eat.
