November 2024

On November 1, 1994, World Vegan Day was established to mark the golden jubilee of the UK Vegan Society and to celebrate the term “vegan."

November is World Vegan Month, celebrating the positive environmental and health impacts of the vegan diet.

During Day of the Dead festivities, food is eaten by living people and given to the spirits of their departed ancestors as ofrendas ('offerings'). Tamales are one of the most common dishes prepared for this day for both purposes.

To celebrate the beloved sandwich, try out these exciting combos: - Chipotle Pulled Pork Sandwich with Feta Cilantro Topping, Toasted Pan Bagnat with Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Arugula, or California Rainbow Veggie with BBQ Kale Chips.

Expect lots of carbs and sweet treats on Bonfire Night. Celebrations often include hot dogs, burgers, jacket potatoes, and toffee apples.

Thanks to the modern day “craft beer revolution”, you can find an amazing array of stouts, perfect not only for a chilly day, but for pairing with gourmet meals.

The cappuccino coffee drink wasinvented in Italy during the 1900’s after the invention of the espresso machine gained popularity. Now you can enjoy cappuccinos at coffee shops, at home with coffee machines, and as a way to socialise with friends.

British Pudding Day- rather unsurprisingly- celebrates the British dessert classics, from Spotted Dick, to Crumble, Eton mess, Trifle and more. (*Not including Yorkshire Pudding)

World Diabetes Day celebrates the discovery of life-saving insulin treatment over a century ago, and aims to bring awareness to the risks of diabetes and how to help prevent it such as a good diet.

"It’s the greatest thing since sliced bread" ​ ​Comedian Red Skelton apparently coined this phrase during a newspaper interview. Home Made Bread Day celebrates the range of delicious breads you can enjoy and find comfort in - from baguette, to sourdough, focaccia, ciabatta and more.

The final Sunday in November has historically been a time for families to get together and prepare for the Christmas period. Marking the start of Advent, stirring Christmas pudding mixture (and making a wish!) while enjoying a mulled wine has remained a popular activity since the Victorian period.

Traditional foods are a large part of Thanksgiving celebrations. Many families include the entire family in the food preparation. Traditional foods include turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, cornbread, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. While puddings often consists of pies, with favourite flavours including sweet potato, pumpkin and pecan.
