Passion. If you were looking to describe London’s newest vegan and raw food restaurant, Saf, or the Director and Executive Chef at Saf, Chad Sarno, in one word – passion – would be that word. I sat down with Sarno just over a month after Saf (meaning ‘pure’ in Turkish) had opened its doors, a busy man, he sits down with a smile and a glass of water and within…
Hi everybody! This is my first blog at HappyCow and I am inspired to be here. Its much better than talking to a wall in other communities that are not so supportive to a cosmic vegan on a soap box. Bear with me ok? Thank you. If you’re anything like me, you work… and if you work… well, you make sacrifices. Sacrifices like needing to share close quarters with the guy…

Especially since it’s the first day of spring too! The best way to celebrate in my mind would be with some vegan ice cream, because,…
On a recent trip to India, I was frustrated and thrilled about my food intakes. Traveling there, most foreigners avoid dairy products and any raw foods for fear of bacteria’s and falling seriously ill. That’s the frustrating part. The thrilling part is amazing! Most packaged food products have little dots on them which identify the items as vegetarian or not. Some think the little green dot means VEGAN, but that’s…
The trend used to be that marketers and advertisers would latch onto anything green, natural or organic. Even if they wouldn’t explicitly say it, because it would blatantly be lying, they would use pristine rainforests, crystal clear lakes and cascading waterfalls. They let the images lawfully speak for them. The trend towards ‘greening’ every product on the market has gotten so out of control that the term Greenwashing was coined…
What do you look for in a life partner where veg*n ethics are concerned? Is it important to you that your sweet baboo is vegetarian or vegan as well, or is the choice an individual one? Can you live with yourself if the person you’re living with cooks & eats animals? Can they live with you if you’re moved to preaching at them all the time? Even if the question…
