Vegan Effect

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of August 2022 I heard someone say about it being cold and how we need to think about layers.  Naturally, my mind turns to food and how I could layer different vegetables.  It was not long before I had thought of tofu and aubergine and added a few other things.  This stack of delight is a real treat and one I look forward to having again.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 5th of July 2022    You have decided to go plastic free, but you don't know where to start.  If I assume you know nothing and are a complete newbie, then at first, it can seem overwhelming as you realise just how much plastic is used from packaging to the product itself.  This blog will give you a great head start in making the transition to a more sustainable life, but it is only the beginning.
