ScouseVeg TeeVee
Watch Niki on the telly:
For those who are not familiar: Niki O’Leary, who along with her sister Jane run the ScouseVeg social group (and this website).
Last year Channel 4’s Come Dine With Me (CDWM) telly show did a Liverpool week and our Niki took part. This was when CDWM was still a half an hour-5 episode show and not the 1 hour version that it is now.
After her appearance – and the appearance of this website on the show we got swamped with emails and comments. Channel 4 and E4 regularly repeat the Liverpool week and we still get messages every time it is aired.
Update Sept 2008: Some sad news to report. Niki’s cat Toak, who was seen in the above episode, has sadly died. He was a very old and beautiful cat. He will be missed by all.

As well as her telly appearance Niki was a guest on some local radio shows.
One of them is hosted by Simon O’Brien, which you might remember as Damon on Brookside.

Ha, really well done Niki. I have just watched the programme at 4.30 in the morning and the birds are singing away. I have only ever bought tofu about three times since I became vegan just last year and didn’t have a clue what to do with it. I will be down the shop tomorrow morning for a couple of packs to go with all the dark chocolate in my cupboard mmm. Will it work without the Tia Maria though?
I think the website is one of the best and most informative I have ever seen and will be signing up. Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put in.

Hey Niki!
Just wanted to say you are one sexy vegan, and i have used your curry recipe, unfortunatly i did use some organic free range chicken in it, but it was delicious!

You did the vegan cause proud. We’ve just watched your video.

Hi Nicki
I thought that you were excellent on Come Dine with Me and I thought that your food looked delicious. I am glad that you cooked with Qunioa as it is an under rated food.
Well done and all the best with your website.

I really enjoyed the rerun of the Come Dine with Me. Poor old Ian, he was like a love sick puppy:)
Not that he can be blamed. The firey haired godess was glowing in all her glory!
Keep up the good work kids.

Hi Niki
just watched CDWM and noticed you used Green & Blacks chocolate in your recipe however this is not a vegan chocolate; it only states suitable for vegetarians. My sister is a vegan and wont touch it. just had to point that out as the programme portrays you as a strict vegan.

Michele, I just wanted to point out that only fairly recently has the vegan label been removed from Green and Blacks chocolate. The non-milk chocolate varieties do not contain any animal ingredients, however they are produced on the same production line as the milk chocolate variety.
Therefore for allergen reasons they relucantly removed the vegan label from all of their chocolate.
Even at that, I have a strong suspicion that when this CDWM episode was made the G&B chocolate did still display the Vegan label.

Hi Michele,
thanks for your email, as laura pointed out at the time of making the programme Green and Blacks was vegan and has only changed its labeling quite recently.

Enjoyed watching Nikki on Come Dine with me today ( still watching it now!)She does not typify vegans, and is a great advocate of her position. Well done, very interesting.

Nikki,
Just watched you on CDWM (still watching it now!!!)and I must say: Impressive and a very good advocate for Vegans, albeit I’m a Veggi. Just had a look through your website and again very impressive. This repeat programme is well timed espeacially as it is Veggi week:-)

Hiya Niki – Since CDWM doesn’t seem to have made it onto Aussie telly yet we have finally watched your star appearance via scouse veg. Well done, you were great, and what better way to get people thinking about what they eat then by serving them top food. Loved how you got Mattas in there too! Nice one…and congrats to your equally media savvy dad & sis for the radio interviews too!
