Watch our GOOD Advert!
We made this a few weeks ago for a show we were exhibiting at, so we thought we’d share it with you!
Henry shot the film, Glynis produced it (those other careers they have come in handy sometimes!) and Caroline was the runner. Ben (Glyn’s son) was the chef and ‘star’, although the real star was the GOOD OIL obviously. We shot it at one of their friend’s houses in lovely Fitzroy square, which was absolutely beautiful. We’re very happy with it – so let us know what you think!
The Viva! Incredible Veggie Show
The GOOD Team spent last Saturday inside at the Royal Horticultural Halls. The weather was beautiful outside – but we didn’t mind. The reason we were inside all day was because of the Viva! Incredible Veggie Show. With almost 4000 visitors the show was a great success overall, and it was especially GOOD for us. We chatted with hundreds of Veggies, Vegans and Meat reducers about the benefits of GOOD Oil with it’s Veggie Omega 3 (and great taste of course). We sold out of absolutely everything – so we’ve made a mental note for next time to take twice as much!
The whole day was really fun. The kids loved sitting in the front of Tuk Tuk, whilst the adults enjoyed all the food that was available to try (the snacks lady next to us had some delicious things!) Hempower did well too, serving their Hemp porridge to everyone. That definitely kept us all going throughout the day. The raw chocolate was amazing too.
A successful day was had by all, and for all those who didn’t manage to buy some GOOD OIL on the day, you can buy it on our website now!
The next show is the Bristol Vegan Fayre – so we’ll see everyone there. Oh, and if you have a minute, check out our new Ad with us doing some Vegetarian cooking 🙂 The shortbread recipe will be on our website shortly.

Spring into Spring with GOOD Recipes
The Chocolate fest is over until next year. It is time for some healthy recipes surely?! Especially as the sun is (kind of) shining! Some nutritionist friends of ours have developed some recipes with GOODness in mind. Perfect for a full on detox or if you are just trying to be a bit healthier this spring. I personally love the Mango dressing. Let us know how you get on with them!
