Any strong opinions on Marmite and banana on toast or as a sandwich? Personally, I think they're a gift from the Gods and my requested last meal if I'm unlucky enough for the lethal injection.

I will love you forever!

👉🏽 swipe. Quick & Easy Vegan Haggis Pasties.

Below makes 8 pasties. I refrigerated half after baking the lot for another day. Cut ingredients by half to make 4 (I know that's obvious 😅)

• 2 chopped tomatoes
• 2 cups grated cheese. I used
• 1 small cut into small chunks
• 2 puff pastery sheet
• seasoning
• chilli or 1 tsp any herbs or mustard (all optional)

1. Mix ingredients together
2. Place into rolled pastry, make cuts, paste with milk.
3. Pop in preheated oven 180° for 25 to 30 minutes.

Serve on its own or with gravy and any veg for substantial meal.

That's all the ingredients you need, plus salt and water, to make FESTIVE PAKORA.
👉🏽 scroll.

You can use as little or as many brussels as you like. Chop finely. Chop onion, potato, chillies, add za'atar herbs (or any mixture of herbs if you don't have these), salt, gram flour (also known as besin or chick pea flour) and water until you have the right consistency. Add a few dollops of tablespoons in hot oil and fry. Taste and adjust mixture for your own taste for the next batch.

Ideal for boxing day buffets and for those fuss pots who go 🤮 when you mention brussel sprouts.

This picture does Ms Luna no justice I'm afraid. What a huge difference a lack of light pollution makes to the night sky.

We are saying goodbye and closing our doors for the final time at 4.30 pm on Saturday 31st October 2020. After that The V&V will be no more.

If lockdowm during Covid-19 gave us anything, it was thinking time. Thinking about how we want to raise our two young kids and how we want to guide them regarding the impact they're having on the world. Veganism is a great start but with my husband working from home indefinitely, we were given more options. That option took us to relocating to the Highlands, our spiritual home, and the possibility of growing a lot more of our own food.

I can't begin to tell you how much we've loved Glasgow and how much we will miss her. Glasgow is a place like no other, with just the best people in the world congregated in a relatively small but very cold and windy place.

Scotland, and especially Glasgow, taught me that it's possible to be brown and belong somewhere in the UK. Decades of life in England with no sense of belonging, I found home in my beloved Scotland 6 years ago. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for embracing me, giving our kids their amazing Glaswegian accents and teaching me to be me again.

We will miss all you beautiful and utterly remarkable people who graced us at The V&V over the last four years. Thank you to the world's best customers, suppliers and last, but never least, our amazing staff, past and present. You all made The V&V.
