The Newcastle vegan chef who impressed Gordon Ramsay

A talented chef with a passion for vegan food is still buzzing from an unexpected meeting with Gordon Ramsay who tasted her menu and called it 'incredible'.

Zoe Newman who runs Veganatomy, which has an outlet at HWKR Food Market on Gateshead quayside, says "I still can't believe it!", a day on from finding herself sitting down with the star chef when he popped into the adjacent By The River Brew Co. where he is believed to be filming at Trakol restaurant for a new project.

Zoe, who had been busy prepping food there on Wednesday, was invited by Dave Stone, owner of the shipping container set-up, to take the opportunity of meeting the restaurateur and TV star. So she started cooking up some of her specialities - including her trademark vegan sushi platter - before she had time to get nervous.
