I would like to thank the very generous people at Follow Your Heart, for
their amazing donation to our Edinburgh Vegan Festival. Yesterday morning we received a huge delivery of delicious vegan eggs. After unwrapping and un-boxing we decided to test the produce, by making a vegan scrambled and quiche. It has been a fair few years since I have been near a egg, never mind eat one, but as I cooked the eggs the smell was very distinctive, the consistency was also great.
The main ingredient in Follow Your Heart Vegan Eggs is Algal, Algal simply means an ingredient is derived from algae. Whole algal flour and algal protein are plant-based ingredients, produced from 
native microalgae originally found in the Netherlands. This algal flour and protein naturally contain high levels of healthy lipids, carbohydrates, and micronutrients. These nutrient-dense microalgae also contain all essential amino acids and are a great source of dietary fiber.
We would like to thank Follow Your Heart for their donation. Anyone interested in trying this super product, come along to the Edinburgh Vegan Festival on the Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st August, as we will be giving these and some other goodies away.
obviously a huge honour not only because of the public nominating us, but being a chosen as a finalist from hundreds of other amazing events.
across the UK. If you have ever been to one of our festivals before you may recognize some of our business’s, but this year we have many new companies you may have never heard of. If you are not vegan or vegetarian you will soon realise that removing animal products from our lives, is easier than you think. Come and talk to these amazing companies, maybe taste / try some of there fabulous products and support the vegan movement.
Henderson’s has been hailed by ‘Scotland the Best’ as a ‘Scottish Pioneer’, a groundbreaking business that changed the nation forever. The shop first opened in 1962, providing an outlet for the produce of Janet and Mac Henderson’s East Lothian farm. The legendary basement restaurant soon followed, and quickly became an Edinburgh institution. Since then Henderson’s has acquired a bistro, a bakery, a deli, a gallery and an international reputation for cutting edge vegetarian cuisine while remaining true to the founding philosophy of serving delicious, wholesome food, using the best and freshest ingredients, and all at affordable prices. Today, in its 52nd year, Henderson’s remains as vibrant as ever. With its nightly programme of live music and laid-back atmosphere, set against the backdrop of the Janet and Mac Gallery, the restaurant is a cultural hub, popular with actors, writers and musicians. The cosy and enticing Bistro is more tempting than ever now that it has launched its Afternoon Teas menu; the Shop continues to expand its range of carefully selected products.
