Dinner Party
If you want to throw a dinner party without having to stress over the food, take a look at these three sample menus with three courses per menu.

Outside Event
This menu comes from an event where we provided 3 meals a day for 60 people for a whole week. It was hard work, but we loved (nearly) every minute.

West Midlands Vegan Festival

We had a great time at West Midlands Vegan Festival last Saturday. There was a large choice of stalls, lovely people, yummy food, interesting talks and cookery demos.

There are some awesome photos of the festival on the Save A Scream website, taken by Shari Black Velvet.

We received some positive feedback from Beckie of Nottingham a couple of days later…

“I was at the Wolverhampton Vegan Fair yesterday and bought your gluten-free vegan vanilla cupcake and lemon cupcakes. They were fantastic, the best GF vegan cupcakes I’ve ever had! … I was wondering whether you would mind sending me the recipe for the cakes and icing?

Thanks again for the lovely food!”

… If you want any of our recipes don’t forget we are always happy to send them out, just contact us via the main website.

Vegan Outreach Stall in Exeter

Saturday 24 September 2011 saw Fairfoods teaming up with local campaigners from BARC and EFFA to hold a vegan outreach stall in Exeter.

There was an amazing response from the public, with hundreds of  vegan food samples, recipe leaflets and information about going vegan being given out. The stall was busy pretty much all day with interested passers-by.

Food included vegan scotch eggs, pizza, mini-quiches, pasties, chocolate chip cookies, lemon cake and chocolate cake. A recipe sheet was given out with all the recipes on it, you can download it here.

We also gave out information from Animal Aid, The Vegan Society and Viva! If you want to go vegan, why not check out the vegan pledge by The Vegan Society?
