ABOUT
This blog is borne out of a challenge I threw out to readers when I hosted my first Vegan Dinner in December 2009. One of the things I learnt during the process of preparing for the meal is that there were lots of dishes that I already cooked that were considered vegan and vegetarian, it's just that I never labelled it that way. So, I asked some friends and readers if they'd like us to get together and create an online journal where we would note (post) whenever we can, the vegan and vegetarian foods we prepare and eat... and at the end of the year, we can review and evaluate. I also thought that it would be a good way for us to get ideas from each other given that we are all coming from different backgrounds, cultures and eating styles. For example, I eat meat and love it! But, I also enjoy vegan and vegetarian food and it doesen't hurt to always strive to have variety and to bring some balance to our food intake.
Head on over to the Contributors to meet us.
