Naturli Vegan Block Arrives in Sainsbury’s
One of the biggest wins this year for us as a family was the launch of Naturli Vegan Spread. It may not seem like a big deal, but so many times dairy free alternatives are a compromise for certain members of the family. The Teen loves Lurpak thicked on bread and, now I'm vegan, I refuse to buy dairy ... Read More about Naturli Vegan Block Arrives in Sainsbury’s
Junk It Up Opens in Newcastle City Centre
The news of The Bohemian in Newcastle closing its doors was met with sadness by the Canny Family. We'd visited on many occasions and liked their laid back atmosphere and vegan burgers.

Carluccios, Newcastle

I mentioned on Twitter recently that I have seen some improvements in my physical health since I became vegan. This lifestyle has always been beneficial for the environment and for the animals, but I wonder how many other people have experienced health benefits like I have? I decided to share a ...

Cakes Stories, Jesmond
Recently myself and the Teen were at a loose end in Jesmond and fancied a spot of tea and cake. I am happy to report I was able to visit Cake Stories, somewhere we'd both loved in the past, as I discovered they have vegan cake options. Last time I popped along back in 2015 was before my veganism ... Read More about Cakes Stories, Jesmond
Opinion Piece – Should we be grateful for being accommodated as vegans?
Those who follow Canny Food on Twitter (if not, why not?!) will have seen a recent tweet concerning a meal I had at Toby Carvery. I have blogged about the vegan menu at Toby in the past and always been positive about our experiences. While it isn't haute cuisine, I've always felt it was good value ...
