I used to love Marmite as a child, before I even knew what a vegetarian or vegan meant so it has always been a great thing to have in my diet. I know some people don't like it, I'm the only one in my family who does eat it and I don't remember how it started. These days I have gone back to...

I found this the other day and thought it was a good idea for all stores to do; list all the products they stock that are meat-free, vegan and gluten free. Here is the link for the 15 page vegan list...

Scientists have developed a gluten-free pill in Canada. It is derived from chicken yolks, so won't be suitable for vegans, but it may help celiacs for a few hours to digest foods with gluten in. http://www.grubstreet.com/2015/07/gluten-free-pill.html?mid=facebook_nymag They are still testing...

My parents love eating fruit, but recently my dad has had an allergic reaction to strawberries and my mother to berries. I'm not sure whether it's the fertilizers or whether it's the fruit itself. It seems more people are developing allergies, maybe their immune system is weaker as they are...

I do enjoy watching food shows on the television, but since vegetarianism and gluten free cooking is so popular, I'm surprised there aren't more shows dedicated to it. I watch other shows and then have to adapt the recipes. Maybe in the US they may have a show on the Food Network, but I never...

I wonder why people use chicken stock for vegetable soup still? This applies to homemade and canned soup. I read the labels and in the US they label it as vegetarian vegetable soup, as many vegetarian soups are made with chicken stock. It puzzles me why anyone would do this? I have also found...

Most places do state on their websites that they do offer a vegetarian choice, however some smaller places don't and I think they should bear that in mind. I was traveling around New England and many places didn't say they did cater for vegetarians and many were still under the belief that they...

As a vegetarian I have always tried to limit my dairy intake and reduce it to a bare minimum. Does anyone else do that or do they find they need dairy in their diet? I have a lactose intolerance so I can't have large quantities, but my dairy intake is limited to cheese on pizzas when I am out...

This coming week is the National Vegetarian Week in the UK. I remember when this started as it helped me learn more about vegetarianism and also had lots of recipes and booklets that you can pick up or they can send to you. http://www.nationalvegetarianweek.org/# There are events all around...

Making sure your chocolate bar is vegetarian is really important. Thankfully in the UK many companies are aware of this and the green v sign is usually indicated or 'suitable for vegetarians' is written, though some chocolate bars still aren't vegetarian and you have to check the ingredients...

Here are some tips and tricks to make a vegan life easier. Cashews are useful to have as a staple and avocado is good as a substitute for butter. http://www.buzzfeed.com/leonoraepstein/hacks-every-vegan-should-know?sub=3191089_2839111#.sveGyrKZj

I don't usually go on package holidays, but I have been on a few all-inclusive and adventure treks. I did find it difficult when I was abroad in Thailand to eat while I was trekking, but I generally had noodles and rice with vegetables. I think it's always best to ask how they can accommodate...

Not all of these are healthy, but there is more choice now and some can be useful ideas if you are starting out. There are some nice ready made meals that are vegetarian; penne arrabiata, mushroom risotto, vegetable moussaka or lasagna and the vegetarian cottage pie. They are good because you...

Some people maybe surprised that not all wines are vegetarian or vegan approved. In the UK some still put the green V sign to show it is, but organic wine is usually your best bet. Here is a link that tells you why some wines are not vegan or vegetarian approved...

Even though vegan and vegetarian food is healthier, it is still susceptible to bacteria like listeria. Amy's Kitchen, a well known organic food manufacturer recalled products with spinach in as a precaution as their supplier had reported an outbreak of listeria. Even organic food can get...

Does this worry you? I know it does some people, but I have to trust that the chefs do use different utensils for meat and don't pick up any spatula. I know in buffets they do have them and I do get wary in breakfast ones about cross contamination. I met one vegan that wouldn't use a salad...

There aren't as many celebrity vegetarian chefs, but I do have a few books by Rose Elliot who only does vegetarian recipes. Yotam Ottolenghi doesn't only do vegetarian food, but his take on vegetarian dishes is very inspiring. http://www.ottolenghi.co.uk/recipes/vegetarian Please share...

There are some people that do, but is it wise and right to impose this on them when they don't have a choice? I've not been faced with this dilemma yet, but I have discussed it with friends and we all decided a fair thing to do was to bring them up on a vegetarian diet and if there were...

I know steaming is the best and healthiest way to cook vegetables to keep all the nutrition in, but my favorite way is to roast vegetables as it is quick and easy and much tastier and still healthy. I chop them up and then drizzle olive oil on them and a little seasoning and then bake them...

In an ideal world all cosmetics would be free of animal by products and not tested on animals. Products do exist and the choice these days is vast, so why don't companies stop? I do like organic products, but as they don't last long they aren't always economical and fortunately EU laws have...
