Vegan Is The New Black

Plant based Coeliac in Cork 🇮🇪. Reviewing dietary friendly eateries in Ireland and abroad. DM to collab/ PR. Happy eating! Heather :)

Supplying protein balls, PB & J cups and chickpea blondies in Cork (My Goodness, ABC & Boru cafe). I have always had a passion for cooking and baking, I am partial to cake! I completed various cookery courses and a Nutrition course so I am aware of what my body needs to maintain a healthy balance, not all the recipes I post are healthy, some are comfort food but I want to show you how it is possible to adapt almost any recipe to be plant based and gluten free :)
I am from Ireland and I love to travel (mainly to discover new foods!). I lived in Toronto, Canada from 2015 - 2017 where there was plenty of Vegan and Gluten Free options. I know it can be more limited depending on where you are so I want to share recipes that include ingredients that shouldn't be hard to source. Please feel free to share pictures of my recipes that you made at home on the page.

Winter salad 🥗
This time of year doesn’t scream salad but I was craving something nutritious so I made the salad half warm.
Mixed leaves, roast sweet potato, avocado, vegan feta Violife I air fried .ie Tofu and tossed it in satay sauce I had left over from yesterday, a squeeze of lime on the salad, oh and pomegranate seeds because reminded me what a great addition they are to meals, then topped with roasted hazelnuts 👌

Dosa!
I haven’t had a dosa in years, I’ve been meaning to try the one in .store in for ages but I’m rarely in the area.
This was the vegan dosa made with rice flour and I think lentil flour, filled with spiced potato, the side of lentils were delicious to dip it in, there was a coconut and spicy dip too.
€10.50
Filling and delicious!.

I first tried Sprout & Co in Kildare Village a couple of years ago and fell in love, it reminded me of where I worked in Canada, making kale & grain bowls.

I feel like Cork has gotten so much better since Monday, when they officially opened on Winthrop’s St.

I got the make your own bowl, rice, kale, tofu, Bombay spuds, pickled onion, grilled corn and satay sauce 👌

Great, healthy addition to Cork 🎉

Totally forgot to post picture of when we went to in Dublin (last year 😬)

I believe they are the only dedicated gluten free restaurant in Ireland (I could be wrong) but they are also vegetarian, with a huge amount of vegan options.

This is one of my sisters favourite spots, the menu I posted is an older one but I’m sure their current offerings are great.
I love seeing a set menu or early bird offer 🙂

Love these new gluten free buns from Promise, they’re so soft. I made BBQ jackfruit by frying onion, garlic, cinnamon, cumin seeds, chipotle and tamari, then added a can of tomatoes, maple syrup and seasoned, added the jackfruit and cooked down.
I had Dijon mustard on one bun, pineapple chilli jam on the other, slaw, melted cheeze, jackfruit, lettuce and a GF onion ring from Dunnes Stores

A couple of pics from Galway.
We had breakfast in .galway they kindly made gluten free pancakes, they have a seperate frier for gluten free things, last time I was there I had the vegan fish and chips it was so good, esp their homemade chips 🤤.
I had a mocha, the other dish pictured is the Smokey beans and spuds with cashew cream. I had a slice of lemon & poppy seed cake, having cream with the cake was a nice touch.
We drove to Cong to see some spots where “The Quiet Man” was filmed, we had a drink in . Such a beautiful woods to walk around in 🌲
