Green Spaghetti (Tallarin Verde)

Green Spaghetti (or Tallarin Verde) is very popular in Peru. It is very similar to pesto, with an addition of Peruvian pepper paste. This recipe was created for my cookbook, Peruvegan, and I promise it will be the best pesto you have ever tasted! The recipe is mostly raw (except for the sauteed onion) and contains no oil (except for the sauteed onion). It’s full of raw spinach, and a…

How Environmentally Ethical Is Your Diet?

If you’re like most vegans, it was probably the humane treatment of animals that spurred your decision to quit animal products. But what you might not have realized is that you simultaneously dodged another bullet in the ethical eating dilemma: the environmental impact of your food. Meat and dairy farms have a pretty hefty “foodprint”—the measure of their carbon emissions from field to plate. Both generate large amounts of carbon…

Smoky “Baked” Beans

Need a no-fail dish for Thanksgiving? These beans fit the bill! Don’t let the title fool you. These beans are made on the stove, but reminiscent of the sweet beans in a can that I grew up with. These beans are extremely kid-friendly–a great way to get kids to eat their beans, and of course, they are equally loved by adults. These beans can be a main dish (and star of…

Brexit Or Vegxit: Is The UK Losing The Battle Against The Rest Of Europe When It Comes To Veganism?

It’s great being a European vegan because pretty much everywhere you go (well at least in the big cities), there are always a good few vegan or vegetarian cafes with vegan options to explore. Then there are the supermarkets too–gone are the days when bread, a packet of crisps, and some hummus (if you were lucky) needed to be your evening meal. But, there was a time when ‘mainland Europe’, as we…

To Cow Or Not To Cow? When It Comes To New Vegan Businesses, That Really Is The Question.

When I was a vegetarian I felt that I faced less moral dilemmas than I do as a vegan. The moral debate of ‘is it better to eat meat if it is going to waste or refuse it and let it be thrown away’, is one that I am sure will continue for many years, but as a strict veggie it was a debate for me that needed no further conversation.…

Pumpkin Doggy Cookies

As the seasons start to change, I start thinking about pumpkin, winter squash and the fall harvest. My dogs love pumpkin, so I made these pumpkin cookies for them, and they were a hit. With only five ingredients, they come together really quickly. You can use homemade pumpkin if you want, but I used organic pumpkin in a box, and it worked great. Make sure to store the cookies in…
