Mushroom + Cranberry Vegan Sausage Rolls
These delightful little things have a lot going for them. We create a sweet and tangy mushroom filling made using chestnuts, sage and dijon mustard. We then pair the mushroom mixture with cranberry sauce and roll it inside a sheet of vegan puff pastry. They’re wonderfully tasty and a great festive snack. Things you need to know: We use vacuum-packed chestnuts which have already been cooked and peeled. Alternatively you can par-boil them yourself for 15 minutes – just be sure to rinse them first then score them through to the soft inside We absolutely adore fresh sage. It’s one of our favourite herbs to use this time of year, but you can…

So Powerful
I’ve often wondered when an artist would craft the meme that not only captures our Vegan empathy, but gets meat eaters thinking without using blood and gore. @compassion_over_cruelty on Instagram has done just that with this series.

For the love of our earth and animal companions, go vegan. @compassion_over_cruelty #vegan #vegetarian #vegansofig…

I love Thai cooking and I’m slowly learning the art, since I could actually eat Thai every meal. Every meal that…

Grampy’s Journey
That photo of a family playing below a Catskills waterfall, encompasses my main reasons for becoming a vegan. That is Vegannista(Laura) her hubby, kids and sweet pups. Actually I need to restate that. They’ve never been pushy but I’ve felt the need to be one with my grand kids, one of whom once asked me “do you eat dead animals?”. Yep mommy is really a VeganNista. I also know I care deeply for all animals. I cringe killing ants. I’ve spent my life as a true meat eater and have the ass to show for it. But I fly fish, yet never kill the fish I catch. Now I may even stop fishing…
