Vegan food is often so outrageously under-rated. How many times have you heard people make sneering comments about either ‘rabbit food’ or dishes that supposedly contain only lentils. Well firstly, in defense of lentils, I would like to say that they are a delicious, healthy, and filling addition to many meals. But really, the aim of ...  Read the complete review

So after enlisting help from another friend we came up ...  Read the complete review

George, my father-in-law, is a man of appetites y'know. In particular his appetites lead him to a diet high in red meats. He's not big on vegetarianism, "It's not natural! We're MEANT to be the top of a food chain. Haven't any of these people heard of Darwin?" is his frequent cry. George is also a man ...  Read the complete review

First things first...when people say they are a vegan this doesn't just mean that they don't eat Meat or Dairy Products. Descriptions of veganism from this point of view typically read more like laundry lists of what one doesn't do, and make it seem more like a lifestyle of avoidance.
