In case you ever doubted it, here’s another proof that London is rich in unique things to do that don’t cost a penny. I recently posted about a seasonal event in Canary Wharf, the Winter Lights. Today, I’m taking you to an interesting exhibition in Japan House in Kensington, London. Called ‘Looks Delicious’, the exhibition showcases meticulously crafted food replicas portraying traditional Japanese dishes. It’s incredible how realistic they are!

In a worldwide trend, a lot of people try to take part in Veganuary each year – switching to a vegan or vegetarian diet for a month. Whilst sticking to a meat-free diet long term isn’t for everyone, there are benefits of including plant-based meals in our menu. Those benefits include increasing fibre consumption (the vast majority of adults don’t hit their targets), and supplying our bodies with foods rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
