Vegan cooking.

Approximately 75% of the world’s population live on a vegan/vegetarian diet, however only 3% of the western population are practicing vegans and up to 10% are vegetarians. What the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ die from strongly reflects our dietary differences.

In broad terms a vegan is someone who does not eat any food from animals, whereas vegetarians have a variety of personal rules; mostly they do not eat meat, but are happy eating milk products and eggs.  The reasons for not eating meat include religion, concern for animals and health.

I am a vegan for my health.  There is an outstanding amount of scientific evidence showing the positive effects of eating only plant based whole food, including prevention and often curing a wide range of diseases.  My vegan lifestyle means I avoid all animal based products and processed foods, including vegetable oils and flour based products. I eat to my heart’s content starchy and green vegetables, fruits, grains and seeds. 

The change to vegan cooking has been a fascinating learning experience and having lost weight and gained health, my desire is to share the pleasures and rewards of cooking vegan meals through these pages.

Thanks for your interest. My energy in maintaining a blog on this site has waned, due to other enthusiasms. There are a good number of recipes on the site and if you have a further interest please contact me [email protected]

    Having joined the fast growing group of people who recognise the value of living on plant based whole food, I now want to share my experiences and views with as many others as possible.
