Generosity of Spirit is the openness and willingness to share our ‘gifts’ , our ‘spirit’ (both emotional and material) freely with others .
This month my Husband and I have been vegan for one year! 365 days of experimenting, discovering, learning and enjoying vegan life. Over the past twelve months, I’ve had to answer a lot of questions — ranging from the standard, “Why did you go vegan?” and “do you get enough protein?” to “would you turn …
Cheese. I must get asked almost daily if I miss cheese. And well I guess the answer is yes and no. I was a serious cheese fiend. If there was cheese in my house- I would find it, and I would eat it. It was a relationship built on addiction and excess. My love of …
If there is one thing that continues to challenge me as a new vegan, it is navigating the hugely varied and tempting, constantly new and evolving vegan junk food offerings. It is of course, ever predictable, that as veganism has stormed into the mainstream- commercial food companies have realised what a massive market there is …
If you want quality, atmosphere and history look no further than The Last Wine Bar and Restaurant in Norwich.

Bear and I visited our first ever vegan fayre last weekend- the Official Norwich Vegans Summer Fayre 2019 at The Forum. Spoiler alert- we absolutely loved it! I wish we could go to a vegan fayre every week. More than fifty stalls, each one full of tempting products, food and treats. From amazing vegan bakers, …
I have been a vegan for nine months and ever since I have been learning and trying lots of different foods and products. I have also started to rethink my beauty products and make up choices – where possible switching to vegan and ethical brands. And… slowly over the last few months, I have been …
I am always on the lookout for new, healthy vegan recipes and just lately- I have been so inspired, by just about everything! Between my Vegan life magazines, Instagram, favourite vegan websites and my cook book collection, I am literally spoilt for choice. But it can also be overwhelming to know where to begin, so …
Confession: I have a bookcase over flowing with cookbooks… I have always loved cookery books. I will often happily browse through my collection, just looking at the photos and imagining what creations I could make. I relish any opportunity to get all of my favourite books out and plan a meal, whether I get around …
