Pure: dairy free butter

Pure is a delicious butter alternative, used for cooking, baking and spreading! I've been using Pure for years now and it has never failed me; I have baked brownies, cakes and cookies with it - all vegan of course! I put Pure on my daughters jacket potatoes, sandwiches and lots of other meals too! Many cannot even tell the difference between Pure and 'real' butter and I believe that pure is better and healthier for everyone. There are three spreads: Sunflower, Soya and Olive. I mainly use the sunflower, but I would also recommend the other two. The taste and texture is creamy and delicious. As well as this, Pure contains no artificial preservatives.

Pure is part of the Vegan Society and is sold in most supermarkets; I get mine in Sainsbury's. For more information and some great vegan recipes check out the website: www.puredairyfree.co.uk

Choices chocolates

I know it's been a while since I last posted. I will try to post more often!

 Today, I'm going to tell you about a great vegan company that my daughter and I buy products from very frequently. Choices, by Celtic chocolates, sell confectionery, chocolate in particular. My favourite kind is their "Choc 'n' Crispie Bar" which uses crisped rice for an extra crunch! The cocoa content is a whopping 36% and the flavour of the bars is delicious: apparently even better that dairy chocolate!

Choices make freefrom bars for Sainsbury's too! You can buy this chocolate in lots of different forms: bars, buttons and even easter eggs! This is a very healthy alternative to 'normal' chocolates such as Cadbury's and Mars. If you consider buying, Choices bars are sold in Waitrose and freefrom bars are sold in Sainsbury's under their own brand. For more information, check out: http://celticchocolates.eu.

REVIEW: Tiger Tiger MAY-O

My first review, how exciting! Today, I'm going to share with you my latest discovery: egg free mayo. I know its been around for a long time but I haven't really got round to trying it until recently. This particular brand of vegan mayo can be bought from Sainsbury's in two flavours: plain and garlic.

 When mixed with tuna and then put in a sandwich this tastes like absolute heaven. I have also tried putting the mayo on chips and as a dip to whatever I can lay my hands on! I find it goes well with some salads, but not with others, so my advice to you would be to experiment! As well as being vegan, this is  a gluten-free product too!

 The taste of this is superb, having never tasted real mayo before I cannot compare but my daughter really does love it too! It is rather plain though, so if you are looking for that extra kick, try mixing with spices like chilli, pepper or cloves. All in all, I would give this product a seven out of ten.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Vegan Key. I have created this blog to help you unlock the key to veganism! I will mostly be reviewing products and restaurants, but from time to time I may post a recipe or two! I hope to give you some tips on the transition from vegetarian to vegan, which was very easy for me as I am lactose intolerant and allergic to eggs! This is a blog for anyone, not just vegans! I do hope you enjoy following me on my vegan quest. Remember, a new world of delicious alternatives is waiting for you, all you need is the Key.
