Is it worth asking if a restaurant has any vegan options when their menu doesn't show any signs that they do?

I met Chantal and David a year or so ago at VegFest. We had been talking prior to that, but seeing them in action was amazing!
They had shopping baskets all around their stall, which were full of vegan products. So, without using any words, visitors could see how easy it was to shop for vegan products. The majority of the items on display are available in mainstream supermarkets, which showed that vegan food isn't hard to find and going to a specialist shop is no longer required!

Read MoreWhy vegans SHOULD stay at the West Park Hotel
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.
Read MoreOpti3Omega: a vegan supplement
One of the things that non-vegans tend to worry about, is whether vegans get all the vitamins they need.

He has created an alternative which is sustainable and safe, because there's no environmental contaminants to worry about!

Read MoreRecipe: Making vegan Shrikhand for the first time
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.

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.
