I embarked on my vegan journey when I was 36 years of age. Never a big fan of cooking myself, I knew I had to learn, since at the time none of family and friends were vegan. These last four years have been a great learning curve for me, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. At home we try to eat as healthy as we can and indulge when out!
