Last week chef Laura Goodman posted a couple of tipsy comments on Facebook and Twitter and reaped the social media whirlwind. “Spiked a vegan a few hours ago” she said on Facebook. “Pious, judgmental vegan (who I spent all day cooking for) has gone to bed, still believing she’s a vegan” she posted on Twitter. Not surprisingly, there was an outcry.

So when did vegans stop being objects of ridicule and social pariahs? At what point did people realise that veganism makes sense? I can’t put my finger on it but it’s quite recent and it’s quite big. Read more ›

Your typical vegan?
People are surprised when I tell them I’m a vegan. I’m not what they were expecting; I don’t fit the stereotype. It certainly makes me think that there remain a lot of misconceptions around veganism. Here are the most common ones I come across: Read more ›

What The Health?, the new Netflix documentary, has allegedly been turning dedicated meat-eaters into vegans overnight. I was naturally curious to see what it was all about.
From the same team that brought us Cowspiracy, which exposed the horrors of the dairy industry, What the Health? focuses on the all too cosy relationship between the American food and drug industries. Big Farmer and Big Pharma are very close indeed and the health of that nation is suffering. Read more ›

It’s not easy being a vegan in Spain. There I’ve said it. I love Spain, and I particularly love Galicia in the northwest corner where we have an ancient house in a tiny village near a beautiful river. I love the people, I love the fiestas and I love the wildness of the landscapes. But, Read more ›
