Vegan Is The New Black

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.

Noodle broth for early dinner. 🍲
I had some left over satay dip from yesterday so decided to make a broth.
I fried sliced garlic in coconut oil, added 500ml veg stock (water & 2 tsp ), 2 tsp Miso paste, 1 tsp tomato paste, fresh coriander, 2 tbsp satay dip, juice of 1/2 a lime.
I let the broth simmer for 10 mins, I fried chestnut mushrooms in sesame oil with maple syrup, tamari & sesame seeds.
I added rice noodles to the broth for 10 mins to cook along with some kale.
Served in a bowl topped with crumbled cooked .ie tofu, sesame mushrooms, kale chips, raw carrot, fresh coriander, a squeeze of lime and a drizzle of salsa Macha.

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 🌲

There was also tofu in the pastry, topped with thinly sliced tomato and cheese.
Served with roast spuds, minty peas and gravy 🍽️

Can I ask a favour? As a small business and blogger, your support means the world to me, some of you have been here years, others just days, and I'd love to help more people travel along their gluten free journey. ❤️

Can you tag anyone who you think would love my Instagram/Facebook and website so they can find me and follow the channels? I'd love to get my Instagram over that 15k mark!

Also, if you have had any of my products, be it travel cards, pens or stickers, or even read a blog or followed one of my recipes, can you drop me a review either on TrustPilot or the page? Reviews help massively in helping others find me 😁

Wish I could be eating this again RN 😭
Stopped in
I had a make your own bowl with kale, brown rice, pickled cucumber, sweet potato, grilled corn and tofu with satay sauce 🤤 we got a side of the potatoes to share, very tasty (had to get no crispy onions for them to be GF and no yogurt). I had half my salad later for dinner
Can’t wait til they open in Cork 😍

If you are in Dublin, is a must try for breakfast/ brunch.
Tapioca is naturally gluten free, they do both sweet and savoury.
I got the vegan crepe with avocado, melted cheeze and I swapped the sh*take mushrooms for scrambled tofu, the bit of basil oil on the plate really complemented it 👌

At the table you scan the QR code, pay and order through that.

I had it with an almond mocha 😋 10/10 and decent pricing.
