love ♥ living ♥ vegan
Following a plant-based or vegan lifestyle, is about food, drink, clothes, shoes, body treatments, hair products and more.
It's a conscious decision to think, walk and possibly, talk a better lifestyle.
I support individuals who are thinking about making the shift, as well as, those who have already begun their plant-based journey.

"Vegans are so pushy! Why can't they do what they want without ramming it down everyone else's throats!"
Read MoreMost of us have a specific food that we enjoy when the temperature changes, or when we're in need of a bit of TLC.
What sprang to mind for you? What's your favourite comfort food?
I have a couple of favourites and one of them is soup! As Winter approaches, I like a bit of soup. It somehow (temporarily) makes up for the fact that the cold is upon us.
Read MoreFriends and family often show love through food. It's often a time to sit, socialise, give the body what it needs, and possibly go a bit further, and indulge, with those you care about!
I've heard and seen people get stressed and anxious over cooking a vegan meal, before the 'guests' have been asked, or date has been set. This fear and insecurity is often pre-everything, and I've seen it go either way. The host might find someone to talk it through with, after which they usually realise that they can make something without difficulty. Alternatively, they may not entertain the thought any further and decide to avoid cooking at home and meet everyone in a restaurant, or simply not go ahead with the food part of the meet-up.
Read MoreI've been interviewing vegan businesses for a while now. It started off by creating articles in which I invited the business to share some of the following information:-
However, more recently, I've ventured into the world of video. I have started recording short interviews with vegan businesses, through which they share what's new and show how they've grown since they began their journey.

We were in Brighton for the weekend and the lovely hubby, Suraj, did a bit of research on vegan food, which is 'outside the norm.' (We wanted to try something 'different') He came across the Gourmet Girls and we had the opportunity to eat vegan 'Fish n Chips'
one of us had eaten a vegan version of Fish n Chips, so we booked a table and hoped for the best.
I was lucky enough to meet the duo behind TeenVGN at VegFestUK (2014). It was inspiring to meet two determined, passionate, confident, compassionate and creative females who want to serve others, to quite literally; make the world a better place! I want others to know what they want to achieve and why so here's an article which will achieve just that!

There aren't many work socials that I've missed. We have two every year. One is organised before the end of the Autumn Term and the other is in July.
They are fun and it gives us a chance to meet everyone outside of work, when we're a little more relaxed.
It was a no-brainer because vegetarians were always catered for. The main person who organises the events, is vegetarian, so she makes sure they are catered for. However, when I went vegan, I had to ask the lady who organises the events, to contact the venue and find out if they cater for vegans. I didn't think it would be a big deal, because we always book a hotel or restaurant, where you'd think, the chefs would be used to catering for all sorts of dietary needs.

Family and friends get together for Divali and New Year and this usually involves making and eating 'Indian' sweets, which are also known as Mitthai. However, they often contain non-vegan ingredients like ghee, butter or condensed milk.
Could this be an opportunity to explore making vegan Mitthai!

Dudhi No Halvo
Sandip followed this recipe to make Dudhi No Halvo, which caught my attention from the minute I saw it! Why? The colour is stunning! Beyond that, it is soft and sweet and includes a variety of textures, which are created by the kind of, soft fudge effect plus the nuts which are within in it and on top of it. Very nice!
