Pizza with purpose

Mike and Joe are a father and son team living the plant-based dream . Having been vegans and pizza lovers for a long time , back in 2016 , they decided to start making out-of-this-world vegan pizza that ’ s better for people and the planet and so , One Planet Pizza was born . The business boasts a range of products with carbon footprints that are up to 47 percent lower than other supermarket equivalents . www . oneplanetpizza . com
We sampled the brand ’ s Hawaiian , Tex- Mex , and Margarita – all blew us away . Tasty sauce , light sourdough base , and flavorpacked meat alternatives . “ I can ’ t lie ,” said one of our food reviewers , “ these are the best frozen pizzas I ’ ve ever had !” Food Chain ’ s favorite moment came when one reviewer conducting a blind taste test said the meat pizza was the best – despite the fact they were all plant-based !

Cake for all Is it wine o ’ clock ?

The latest release from Just Love Food Company is a firm winner for Food Chain – plus it ’ s vegan and allergenfree . Shoppers can find the hand-finished vanilla celebration cake , which serves ten and is filled with a delicious plum and raspberry jam , in ASDA stores across the UK . www . justlovefoodcompany . com
Our mum-of-two reviewer said : “ Delicious ! If you hadn ’ t told me it was vegan , I wouldn ’ t have known . It ’ s a soft , moist cake , with delicious icing and jam . What ’ s not to love ?!”
Wine in a can … who would have thought it ? But , in this instance , it makes sense . It ’ s mobile , easy , and perfect for handing out to friends under a garden parasol . NICE tells us it ’ s a dry , crisp , and sparkly wine from La Mancha , Spain – with extra party appeal to boot . But does it hold up ? www . nice-drinks . co . uk
Our resident oenophile described it as a not overly dry wine , closely related but not entirely like prosecco , that bursts with notes suited to lazy summer afternoons . ‘ The perfect summer wine ,’ she said . High praise , indeed .
