As I am boldly (or stupidly) attempting to make my own ethical wedding cakes, a couple of people have asked me to put the recipes on the blog.  So here is my tested recipe for carrot cake.  The chocolate cake and fruit cake recipes will follow when I have made sure they work!   
I’ve been [...]

Our venue, a Masonic Centre which is providing a big conference room and a three-course dinner for our wedding, has never been asked about local or ethical food before. Not only that but, because of our small budget, we have had to go for one of the lowest price menus they offer. So it is [...]

I know we vegans sometimes get a bad rep for being preachy or self-righteous. But I’ve always followed more of the “you catch more flies with honey” school of thought. Or in this case “more flies with plant-derived agave nectar” I suppose.

When it comes to weddings, we tend to give a lot of thought to the alcohol that will be served - what will guests drink on arrival, will we have champagne, how many bottles of wine will we need, and other questions such as is it local, fair trade, organic, vegetarian?

At the prestigious International Wine Challenge, Denbies, England’s [...]

The first exciting thing we did was buy the fabric for my wedding dress with my mom (who will be making it). She [...]

I’m afraid I’m shirking my diamond debating duty once again but I just had to tell you about the lovely evening I had on Wednesday night.
A friend (who has a business fashioning furniture from reclaimed wood) and I decided it was about time the ethical businesses of Brighton and its environs got together.  We knew there [...]
