Words and photography by Indigo Jones Last month, people around the world took part in Veganuary, myself included. So when I got an email in the Quench inbox to try WahacaÔÇÖs Veganuary menu, I was over the moon. Myself and my fellow section editors reviewed Wahaca last year and the food was delicious. The difference now is that due to Covid and Welsh lockdown restrictions, … Continue reading Wahaca Review
Image by Hannah Penwright Intro by Indigo Jones We can all admit 2020 has been horrific, but one positive to come out of this doomsday of a year is an increasing amount of meat free and vegan products.

“Es i o fwyta cig, llaeth, wyau ac ati i dorri’r cyfan allan mewn diwrnod.” Mae’n debyg mai rollercoaster yw’r ffordd orau i ddisgrifio fy nghyfnod pontio i ddod yn fegan a fy mherthynas ├ó bwyd dros y misoedd diwethaf. Dechreuais i fy siwrnai feganaidd ar ├┤l bod yn pescatarian am nifer o flynyddoedd yn y gorffennol, felly roeddwn i’n meddwl y byddwn i’n mentro … Continue reading Fy Siwrnai Feganaidd

By Indigo Jones From the title youÔÇÖre probably thinking, ÔÇ£Alton Towers have introduced a weird new rideÔÇØ, but alas youÔÇÖd be wrong. A vegan rollercoaster is probably the best way to describe my relationship with food over the past 6 months. It all began way before lockdown, at the beginning of the year when we thought 2020 would be like the 1920s; one big celebration … Continue reading My Vegan Rollercoaster
Quench couldn’t let the turning of a decade go by without setting some extra-special foodie resolutions.

But let me say right now that I was wrong for being so narrow-minded and I was very happily surprised once I arrived and tried the food.

By Ellie Philpotts Happy National Vegetarian Week! Since Meat-Free Mondays are becoming likelier to span beyond just Mondays, it makes sense to dedicate a set week to the movement, which sees over 3 million vegetarians in the UK alone.

Sometimes, these are from specific eateries, like Milgi and Anna-Loka, while … Continue reading Review: The Flora – National Vegetarian Week
