Modern vegan diets
The term "vegan" was coined by a small group of vegetarians in 1944 who split from the Leicester Vegetarian Society in England and founded the Vegan Society. They discard dairy products, eggs, and other animal products and, like meat-eaters, discard meat.

5 Things to Not Say to a Vegan!
The Vegan 'movement' has taken off at an enormous rate in recent years, and with celebrities everywhere promoting the cause, (think Joaquin, Di Caprio and Pamela Anderson to name but a few) more and more of us are ditching dairy, saying ''meh'' to meat, and ''see-ya'' to sushi.

Eat More Plants Please. Top Story - July 2021.
Making the transition to a plant-based diet is easier than you think but it does take some perseverance. Like any new challenge, if you try to tackle it all at once, you will quickly become consumed by the overwhelming amount of information available. Recipes, influencers, nutritional recommendations, and plant-based food substitutes will bombard you from every direction, and good luck trying to avoid that one vegan friend of yours who has suddenly taken an intense interest in your health and well-being (I know because I’ve been that friend a time or two).

Vegan is Fine for Everyone
I was in the shower this morning (not an image you want in your head I know) and I read the side of my Lacura Shower Gel that I got from Aldi and it said "Suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians". Then I thought if something is suitable for Vegans then it is also suitable for Vegetarians.

Zen And The Art Of Making Sauerkraut When The World's On Fire
Hush. Scrape. Hush. Scrape. That's sound of a single blade against leaf after leaf. It's late spring, or early fall. There's probably a thunderstorm about to break. The kitchen is quiet, and there's nothing but me and the sauerkraut.

Vegan Gluten-Free Savory Muffins
I've been vegan for about three years, which came with its own challenges in the beginning. Then I met my SO, who developed an allergy to anything with wheat. From then on, I struggled for a while with baking something that is both vegan and gluten-free.

The Vegan Celebrity Revolution
It’s not so long ago that being a vegan was a rarity. Today, the plant-based diet is more mainstream than it’s ever been. For example, in the UK the number of vegans quadrupled between 2014 and 2019, and in 2020, one survey found that around 1.1 million people across the nation had adopted the diet. That number is only expected to grow, and by 2025, it is expected that a quarter of the British population will be vegan.

Blogging For A Plant-Based Future
I was a late and unlikely convert to foodism. Having grown up on Kraft Dinner, and fish sticks, canned pasta and other microwave quick fixes, I viewed food and eating as inherently utilitarian, something that one did purely out of need. Which is not to say I didn’t enjoy eating, but a nuanced appreciation of good food, quality ingredients and the significance of communal meals, were not a part of my culinary perspective. It took a drastic dietary shift for me to finally dig deeper and explore cooking and food culture.

Half Vegan
There is no such thing as being part vegan. You either are or you are not. It’s like a switch; it is either on or off. There is no halfway house.

The Lazy Vegan’s Party Treat
I’ve been vegan since 2012 and, at this point, I’ve heard all your dumb jokes, rude comments, and misdirected defensiveness about it, so let’s both shut up for a minute and enjoy some hella good Crispy Chocolatey Sunflower Tahini Bars.

Vegan Tiramisu
As a coffee lover, the Tiramisu is one of my favourite dessert. The richness of the deep espresso flavour mixed with the sweet and light mascarpone cream really adds up to being an amazing treat. So, as I often do, I found myself craving a Tiramisu, but this time I decided to try it with a twist : making it vegan. Which I admit is quite a challenge considering it's basically a cheesecake. I had to browse many recipes of the original dessert and of vegan versions of it to piece together a recipe that would work with my budget, the ingredients I had on hand and the few hours I had to make it before work.
