Like mo st other kids, we neve r entert ained the idea that one day w e would actu ally be vegan.
In both our househ olds, meat and dairy took centre stage o n our plates, while the humble pla nts were pus hed to one si de. In fact, until only a fe w years ag o, we just ass umed vega n food was bland and boring .
At least that was until we tried this ve gan thing for ours elves. We decided we wanted to make a dierence and we realised that changing our diet wo uld hav e an immedia te and positi ve impact on the plan et, as we ll as eve ryth ing that lives on it. And thats when eve ryth ing changed.
As a result of g oing veg an, we fe ll in lov e with fo od all ov er ag ain and we wante d to share this pa ssion with as many people as we could. So Ve gan was born s hortly afte r, and eve r since then weve be en testing , dev eloping and lming recipes for the wor ld to see, all fro m our cosy at in So uth London.
Its unbelieva ble to think that w e now hav e ove r a million amaz ing followe rs all ov er the wo rld, and it s dic ult to put into words how proud we are to see so man y people recreating ou r recipes at home and sharin g our passion fo r vegan fo od.
This cookbook is dedicated to ev ery one who has supporte d us, believ es in our mes sage and i s passionate about creating a future po wered by plants.
Thanks to ev ery one who helpe d to make th is possible.
