If you’re a vegan and haven’t traveled to Ubud, I suggest you put it at the top of your “To-Travel To” bucket list. This town is like a gathering place for everyone on a plant-based diet and you can pretty much get your hands on anything you’re craving in a vegan version. This list could be miles long but I’ll keep it short with five places you gotta visit when…

For just $7 bucks you…
When I began dating my husband 20 years ago, we had a big challenge between us. Although he wasn’t vegetarian yet, he had abstained from eating red meat for years and I was very carnivorous. Initially, I didn’t think it would be a problem, but after a few dates, it became an obvious problem. One night, we went out for dinner to a burger/coffee shop. He ordered a salad and…
As a registered dietitian for 25 years, I know a thing or two about nutrition. And not so long ago, a vegan diet was cause for concern among the health care community because of concern regarding potential nutrient risks. Flash forward to today, and growing research points out that a well-planned vegan diet can not only meet your nutrient needs, it can offer a range of benefits, such as a…
Nestled inside the bustling Grand Central Market of Downtown L.A. you’ll find Ramen Hood serving 100% vegan food. Created by Top Chef Season 2 winner Ilan Hall, the new hottest food in town is vegan ramen. This plant-based, meat-free noodle soup is super rich in flavor. I was told the creamy broth is made with sunflower seeds, which explains the pleasant nutty flavor. The al dente ramen noodles have perfect…

Today: – ……we would like to jump back to 1914, to one of the first successful animal cruelty prosecutions. The court case was brought by the Performing and Captive Animals Defence League (PADL). We are happy to discover that undercover activism for the benefit of animals goes back more than 100 years! ‘Andrew’, a dealer friend in the UK, recently discovered this original postcard of ‘Choclat’ and sold it to us.…
Do you feel confused by all the conflicting health claims about diet and nutrition? Even if you are well-versed in all the nutritional benefits of a plant-based diet, all it takes is for some smooth-talking champion of the Paleo fad to post an article claiming that saturated fat and cholesterol are good for you, and it’s easy to let a glimmer of doubt creep in. Even if you don’t really…
Healthy homemade vegetable pot stickers (dumplings) that are satisfyingly delicious! They are boiled and pan fried to golden perfection. Freezer-friendly and made completely from scratch! I usually make batches of these dumplings ahead of time and freeze them for future use. Simply chop, saute the ingredients and whip up in a food processor, if you like a smoother texture, or just use a fork to mash up the tofu, then…

Weight for weight, watercress contains more Vitamin C than an orange, more calcium than milk,…
Traveling vegans not only have to worry about culture differences, language barriers and navigating new cities, they also have to worry about where to eat. After living in Asia for over 2 years, and constantly finding tiny shrimps, fish sauce and bits of meat in my “vegetarian” labeled meals, I found a plant-friendly oasis in Chiang Mai. After living and eating my way around the city for 7 months, here…
