description: The Japanese listening bar concept has landed in London. Expect hifi sound systems, stellar cocktails and moody surroundings for soaking up the music
encoded: Looking for the best hifi bars in London? If you're partial to a carefully curated cocktail or two, you may have noticed the term 'listening bar' appearing on the London cocktail bar scene in the last couple of years. Think: intimate, low lighting, stylish, mid-century décor and most importantly, high-fidelity sound systems. Inspired by Japanese "kissaten" culture, which emerged in the post-war era, the experience of sound is placed firmly centre stage. Although while the music may be a key focus, food and drinks menus are by no means an afterthought, with high-quality, seasonal ingredients, global-inspired flavours and rotating chef takeovers. As an east London resident myself, you might call me biased but my favourite spots also happen to inhabit this side of the capital. For a cute and cosy date night destination, Chiave is a no-brainer, where you can continue the night and throw shapes on the luxe downstairs dance floor complete with bespoke sound system (trust me, it's nothing like the sweaty basements you may have frequented in the past). If you're looking for a more substantial meal, I would never fail to recommend Mad Cats's east Asian-inspired menu packed with punchy, umami-rich flavour. And that pandan crème brûlée, wow. Of course, the whole of London is blessed with a wealth of stellar options, so whatever your taste, peruse my list below and find something to suit you.

encoded: Do you reach your 30 plant foods each week? Eating a diversity of plants is the new five-a-day and it's easier to achieve than you'd think. Fruits and vegetables count, as do herbs and spices (these count as a quarter each), as well as wholegrains, legumes, nuts and seeds. You might be surprised to know that includes even dark chocolate and coffee. One thing to remember is that you can't simply eat 30 apples in one week; your 30 must all be different. However, if you eat both a green apple and a red apple, that would count as two points due to their distinct nutritional benefits. The benefits of eating a variety of plants has been to shown to improve gut health and better gut microbe diversity, which can have a range of positive effects on our bodies.

Each dish combines highly seasonal, sustainable, occasionally unfamiliar ingredients which makes a fun journey of discovery.

Laminated sourdough has both crunch and flakiness, served with a vibrant spirulina butter. You might recognise ‘lasagne’ from Kirk’s win on Great British Menu – his deconstructed version combines an umami-packed ragu with a miso and chive sauce.

Cook’s tip: Boost your plant points "I used both apples and pears to easily boost the plant points, plus it adds variety of flavour. Serve with melted dark chocolate and your favourite nut butter for dunking into. You could also sprinkle the chocolate-dipped side with sunflower or pumpkin seeds for more crunch and nutrients." View Green Video on the source website Note these changes to the recipe will alter the nutritional information displayed. Here are more ways to boost your plant points and plant-packed recipes. How to make apple crisps in the oven Our apple crisps take a total of three hours in the oven, so plan to make them when you have a morning or afternoon at home. You’ll also get crisper results if you turn them halfway through cooking. Choose your favourite eating apple Drying the apples out will concentrate their natural sugars, so a Cox gives sweeter results than a Granny Smith. Don’t be tempted to try Bramleys; they're too sharp to eat on their own. Skip the sugar A lot of recipes sprinkle the apples with sugar or brush with honey before baking, but we’ve found that the natural sugar present gives the perfect amount of sweetness. Plus, adding sugar will make your healthy snack redundant. Add extra flavours if you like A sprinkle of ground cinnamon or ground ginger before baking will complement the natural apple flavour. Use the right equipment You’ll need a large baking sheet or tray and some baking paper. Greaseproof tends to stick to the apples so avoid using that. If you have a mandolin you can use that to get perfectly thin slices, but it's also possible to juse use a sharp knife. Make sure they don’t overlap as this will prevent them from crisping-up.

description: If you're going vegan for Veganuary or simply adopting a more plant-based lifestyle, you might be surprised by some of these 'accidentally vegan' foods
encoded: Looking to go vegan? If you're worried about cutting meat, fish, dairy and eggs completely out of your diet, whether for the month of January or longer term, here are some recognisable foods you might be surprised to hear you can still enjoy when embarking upon a plant-based diet. From the classic Oreo and Lotus biscuits to 'cheese' flavoured crisps, vegans need not miss out on these snacks and treats. It's worth bearing in mind that many of the foods on this list are highly processed or high in sugar, so you wouldn't want to solely base your new vegan diet around them. Instead, keep your vegan pantry stocked up with whole foods like lentils, beans, pulses and more which are of course naturally vegan too. If you have an allergy, some of these foods may contain cross contamination due to being produced in a factory that handles dairy or other allergens, so exercise caution and check labels carefully. Get a head-start on plant-based meals with our vegan meal prep tips for Veganuary and beyond and even more advice on how to do Veganuary. 10 accidentally vegan foods 1. Oreo biscuits If you're new to the vegan game this might come as a surprise, but old-school vegans know that Oreos have been a-ok for a long time. In fact, it was back in the 90s when animal lard was removed from the original recipe and replaced with hydrogenated vegetable oil. Make sure to check the labels as there are some more unusual Oreo varieties that might catch you out with a dash of milk in the ingredients, although the Originals, Golden and Double Stuff are all fine. Read more about understanding food packaging labels as a vegan on 10 things I wish I knew before going vegan, then try our vegan chocolate cheesecake which makes the most of Oreos for the crumbly chocolate biscuit base. 2. Dark chocolate When choosing chocolate, many dark chocolate varieties over about 70% cocoa solids tend to be accidentally vegan.

description: You might be surprised to hear that certain alcoholic drinks are not suitable for vegans due to the filtering process or flavourings such as honey or lactose
encoded: If you're taking part in Veganuary 2025, you might not have even considered that certain alcoholic drinks are potentially off the table for the month. Due to the filtering and fining processes that give alcoholic beverages their clarity, some beer, wine and spirits are not vegetarian, let alone vegan. Craft beers and certain spirits may also be flavoured with honey or lactose, such as milk stouts, honey beers or cream liqueurs, making them also not suitable for your plant-based diet. As lactose is derived from dairy and counts as one of the 14 most common allergens in the UK, it must be labelled and marked in bold. Similarly, if egg whites were used in the filtering process this would have to be mentioned on the bottle as they also count as one of these 14 allergens. However, despite highlighting any of these top allergens, alcohol labels don't have to adhere to the same strict standards as food labelling - there is no requirement to print the full ingredient list. For example, if isinglass, derived from fish guts, was used for filtering, this doesn't have to be mentioned on the bottle. Before this feels like a total minefield, we have highlighted some of the key ingredients to be aware of below, although this is by no means an exhaustive list. Due to the somewhat confusing nature of alcoholic drink labelling, your safest bet is to make Google your friend and quickly you'll work out whether your favourite drinks are a-ok or not - Barnivore is a helpful resource for checking too.

Whether you're doing it just for the month or committing to something more long-term, our easy meal prep ideas will make being vegan as easy as can be. Cooking for a vegan diet doesn't need to be time-consuming, expensive or require compromising on flavour. Get each week off to a great start by making a few of these ideas at the weekend – some can be combined to make an easy meal on a busy evening, while others will require a little bit of extra chopping or prep for a nonetheless quick work-from-home lunch. Still need convincing?

Find out why some alcohol isn't vegan and learn about the best accidentally vegan foods. The best meal prep ideas for Veganuary 1. Make a base sauce One of my favourite ways to get ahead of a busy week is to make a quick sauce at the weekend that can be stirred through pasta, such as this easy vegan pesto. Pesto is particularly great as it's so versatile – it can also be spread into sandwiches or drizzled over roasted veg to give them a little extra pizzazz. The sauce for this gazpacho spaghetti can also be whizzed together and kept in the freezer for when you're short on time. Try these roasted cauliflower steaks with romesco – simply omit the eggs to make it vegan. By making the romesco sauce ahead, all you have to do on the day is cook your cauliflower steaks – and they're nice enough to serve to guests. In a similar vein, dips like muhammara can be made ahead – in fact, this one tastes even better when it has sat for a day or so. Use it as a base for topping with this herby grain salad – simply leave out the fe…

At the start of the year and post festive-season, many people will be feeling the pinch. A vegan diet can help out in that regard - many of the pantry essentials such as legumes, rice and pasta are budget-friendly and you most likely already have in your cupboards. Keeping your pantry well-stocked with whole food ingredients when first starting out with veganism will help you to resist reaching for ultra-processed alternatives - plus make vegan cooking a breeze.

Find out why some alcohol isn't vegan and learn about the best accidentally vegan foods. 10 vegan store-cupboard essentials 1. Nutritional yeast This nutritional powerhouse is not only favoured for its B12 content, but also for adding cheesy, nutty flavour to a variety of vegan dishes. Affectionately abbreviated to 'nooch', sprinkle it into vegan cheese sauces, vegan pesto, risotto, scrambled tofu and homemade seitan, or make your own plant-based alternative to parmesan with blitzed cashews and a pinch of salt and garlic powder. Find out more about nutritional yeast and where to buy it. 2. Lentils A week rarely passes without the consumption of lentils in one form or another in my household. I love to have a tin of green lentils in my cupboard to add quick flavour and texture to cooked rice along with some fresh green herbs. Dried red lentils are my failsafe alternative to add meaty bite - along with plenty of protein and fibre - to vegan bolognese sauces or to make curries go further. Try our vegetarian lentil recipes - the vegan red lentil dahl soup with broccoli tarka is a personal favourite. 3. Tinned chickpeas Air frying a tin of drained ch…

Cutting down on our meat and dairy consumption can have a positive impact on the planet and Veganuary is a movement that encourages people to eat solely plant-based for the first month of the year. This comes at an opportune time when many people are looking for ways to get the new year off to a healthy start – and may also be feeling the pinch post-Christmas indulgence. If the thought of completely overhauling your diet feels overwhelming, here are 10 things I learnt from being vegan. From 'veganising' your favourite dishes to finding surprising, accidentally vegan products, cutting out meat, fish, dairy and eggs for a whole month isn't as difficult as it first may seem and can be a wholly positive experience.

Find out why some alcohol isn't vegan and learn about the best accidentally vegan foods. 10 things I wish I knew before going vegan 1. 'Veganise' your favourite recipes I remember feeling quite daunted by the prospect of having to start from scratch with my recipe repertoire when embarking upon Veganuary four years ago. I'd built up a solid collection of favourites – from lasagne to stir-fries, curries and more. If someone had simply told me that I could make all of these recipes vegan without too much trouble, I would've started the month without a worry. Some of the recipes you cook might be vegan already, or don't require too many substitutions – think swapping chicken for tofu or your regular dairy cream for a plant-based alternative. Baking can be a slightly trickier one, but as someone who enjoys cooking, think of Veganuary as a fun challenge to get you outside of your comfort zone and learn about all of these new ingredients at your fingertips.

The menu is served from midday until 2pm and comes in at a reasonable (remember it's got a Michelin star!) £32 for two courses and £38 for starter, main and dessert. Here we started with the Jerusalem artichoke dish with cauliflower mushrooms and tropea onion, but the star of the show was the braised Hereford beef, smoked potatoes, winter mushrooms and roscoff onions.

description: Thinking about going vegan for the month of January but not sure where to start? Discover our guide to Veganuary with delicious, easy recipes plus gift ideas
encoded: At the start of the new year, many people – and increasingly more each year – take on the challenge of giving up meat, dairy and all animal products as part of Veganuary, a movement encouraging veganism for the entirety of January. It's a great opportunity to incorporate vegan dishes into your diet without the pressure of having to commit to a whole new lifestyle long-term. Rather than overhauling your entire recipe repertoire, look for vegan versions of your favourites, whether it's vegan soups, vegan salad recipes, vegan pasta recipes and more. If you're looking for something a bit more special, discover our vegan dinner party ideas as well as vegan roast recipes – complete with vegan wellingtons, whole roast cauliflower and even vegan Yorkshire puddings so you don't miss out. We've got plenty of delicious ideas to give you confidence cooking vegan meals, but if you're worried about not getting enough protein, try our high-protein vegan meals and read about the best vegan protein sources. A vegan diet doesn't need to be any more expensive, in fact, if you are eating a whole food, plant-based diet with lentils, beans, and plenty of fruit and vegetables then it can work out cheaper overall. If you're feeling the pinch, these budget vegan recipes are particularly economical. Our vegan curries are packed with flavour and texture but will also help keep costs down. While a plant-based diet removes meat, fish, (most) dairy and eggs, veganism is not only a diet defined by the consumption of no animal products or by-products, but also a lifestyle choice - meaning vegans do not typically buy any animal-derived products such as leather. For that reason we've also included some vegan gift ideas. Find out more about how to follow a plant-based diet. Why not treat yourself to a meal out this month?
