EATING OUT

Banana Nutella and Biscoff Cake

April 29, 2020

If you’re anything like me, you’ve done a fair bit of baking during lockdown and you’re on your 37th banana cake/loaf/bread of the week. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining…my waistline might be, but I’m certainly not. But when I looked on the kitchen island today and saw another bunch of overripe bananas, I sighed. I sighed because I didn’t want to cook another banana cake/loaf/bread. I’d go as far as to say I’m a tad bored of them. But I couldn’t bare to see the bananas go to waste and they were too far gone for the kids to be bribed into eating them…so I racked my brains…what I could I bake?…

I was a vegetarian for a long time, so my meat intake is fairly low and like many people these days, I’m considering my personal impact/footprint on the world, so trying to live a more balanced and thoughtful life. I’m a foodie and love this wave of vegan interest, as it means brands and restaurants are seriously upping their game and coming out with flavourful alternatives. A far cry from 15 years ago, when I was a veggie and at best I’d get offered a tomato pasta bake and generally lived off of Lynda Mcartney sausages during my teenage years. So when The Printworks Manchester invited me and a few of the WeBlogNorth gals to try out the new Wagamama Vegan Menu, as part of #Veganuary, I jumped at the chance because a) I love Wagamama and frequent there often and b) I always glance at the vegan menu but am worried I’ll be left disappointed…
