I met Claire at VegfestUK. It was so cool to hear how she goes out of her way to ensure that there's no cross contamination, so all her chocolates are 100% vegan! Isn't that amazing? She describes how she gets blocks of chocolate, rather than, already broken pieces, to ensure that they're completely free of any non-vegan entities. Isn't that cool?
I couldn't wait to feature this interview with Claire. So over to Claire who will tell you all about Considerit and more!

I want you to meet Emma Marshal-Nichols! She was keen on making the shift to a vegan diet, but was being held back by the lack of good vegan cakes! Guess what she did? She researched experimented and started making them herself, after which she made the shift!
It is also refreshing to hear that 'all' she wants to do, is promote veganism, make people happy, be creatively fulfilled, have enough time to spend with her two beautiful girls, and live in the present moment. Isn't that refreshingly different? Find out more about Missy's Cupcakes below.

Shopping for vegan food items is difficult...
Many people firmly believe that shopping for vegan food items is difficult. I used to agree. It was hard because, vegan alternatives weren't as readily available as they are now, and labelling wasn't clear. However, from 13th December 2014, the EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation (EU FIC) has made identifying allergens much easier. Of course, this means that shopping is easier and faster! In addition to this, supermarkets are raising their game in terms of providing vegan food items. So the barriers that existed are being melted away.
