Hotels that cater for vegans
More often than not, I've stayed in a hotel whilst I'm on holiday. I like exploring and walking when I'm away, so when booking a hotel, I would think more about location and comfort, than food. This is because I would be hoping to eat while I'm out and about.
Within England, I've recently used hotels as a way of avoiding driving a long distance and then drive back again within a few hours. In these cases, I've usually booked hotels where breakfast is an extra option, and then had brunch before leaving to return home.
Find out how I felt about staying at the West Park Hotel for 5 days.

One of the things that non-vegans tend to worry about, is whether vegans get all the vitamins they need. Mark, who owns Omega 3, recognised this, and created a vegan product that delivers nutrients, without the death and harm that's caused by sourcing Omega from fish. He has created an alternative which is sustainable and safe, because there's no environmental contaminants to worry about!

What is Shrikhand?
Some describe it as a dessert which transforms ordinary yoghurt into a delicacy. Others think of it as anything from a standard feature of Sunday meals, part of a festive menu, as well as faraal (fasting) food.
Where does Shrikhand come from?
Shrikhand can be found in the western Indian states of Maharashtra and Gujarat. It is often served during Maharashtrian and Gujarati weddings. So in this case, it's viewed as a 'rich' dessert.
Read on to find out why I made it and how it turned out.

If you want a one stop shop for vegan fashion, Grape Cat's the site to visit!
Christine and James Lucas went from eating meat, to making the connection between the duality of loving animals and eating them. They became vegetarian and then vegan. However, on their journey, they've started a Vegan Supper Club, held cooking lessons, potluck events and they now organise camping trips, gastronomy tours and more!
You can find out more about them and their business below.

Astonish have a huge range of products, and all of them are kind to the environment, yet strong enough to make cleaning easy! You can read an interview with Nick from Astonish here.
This article features reviews of various cleaning products. The reviews have been written by Janet Higgins, Stella Goddard and Evelyn Smith.
I put this article together because I wanted to share what others think of Astonish products. I love them, because they're vegan, they're transparent about being against animal testing and are clear that animal products don't need to be used to make cleaning easy or effective.
Read on to find out what Janet, Stella and Evelyn think of the products they've used so far.

A gorgeous place that's hidden away
A friend took me to the Attico Centre recently. It's in Watford and is absolutely gorgeous!
The layout ensures that customers can walk around and look at the paintings and sculptures that are for sale. It also means that there aren't lots of tables squashed together and it's actually really peaceful.

Harrogate in North Yorkshire
A friend and I took a train from London to Harrogate earlier this year and although I'd not really heard of the place before, I was quite excited! Why? You guess it....food!
We did some research and found out that there were a number of places that are open about the fact that they cater for vegans. So we had lots of choices, which included a variety of cuisines and a lot of the restaurants and cafes were small business, as opposed to chains, so we'd be supporting them too!
Read on to find out how we experienced eating vegan in Harrogate.

Is there anything hugely difficult about organising an event if the venue provides catering?
I used to do some work for a local branch of the National Union of Teachers and one of the roles included organising training events. We provided a meal during training days and snacks for other events, such as, meetings after school.
To ensure that everyone was catered for, and so we were aware of allergies, I'd ask those who registered, if they had any dietary requirements. Unfortunately, sometimes I'd wished I hadn't!
