Ghent is the Belgian city for plant-based eaters. The charming historical town has an exciting culinary scene that pleases every foodie–especially the vegans that don’t usually find that many options when it comes to eating out. Along the canals, the old medieval flemish houses remind you of the fascinating history that constitutes the richness of Ghent. Most of the architecture remains intact and is remarkably well preserved and restored. The…

It is full of vegan and vegetarian restaurants ranging from brunch and fika (coffee and cake) to plant based gastronomy places. One of my favourite vegan restaurants…

While filming for the documentary series, I was working with two different vegan organizations in Barcelona. I also met up with a friend I’d made while backpacking through…
