Liebster Award! Vegan blogging;)

Thank you to The London Vegan Blog for nominating me for The Liebster Award. 

Here are my answers: 

1. If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life what would it be? –> It would have to be french fries with truffle oil.
2. If money wasn’t an object what would be your ideal day of dining? –> Black coffee and a green smoothie for breakfast, vegan food truck lunch in a park and a candle light dinner for two;)
3. If you are vegan, why? If not- have you considered it? –> It started for health reasons, but it is now both both a healthy future and for the animals, to give them a voice. 
4. Where is the most inspiring place you have visited? –> Alice Waters Edible Schoolyard and Farm Sanctuary 
5. What is your favourite thing to do to relax/blow off steam? –> Go for a run.
6. Which book have you read/film have you seen which will stay with you forever? –> The China Study and Fork Over Knives 
7. Who/what inspires you? –> At the moment, spring vegetables! Also farmer’s markets, farmers are always willing to talk with my students when I bring them there to learn about local food systems and healthy choices. Spring and summer is a great time to connect to fresh and locally grown food and share great recipes! 
8. From the blogs you follow, which is your favourite recent post? –> Violet’s Veg*n E-comics piece on the Beagle Project, Let the dogs out
9. On a scale of 1-10 how much do you care about the world cup? –> 8, I have a British husband, so I have to care;)
10. What is the best restaurant you have visited? –> Millennium in San Francisco, my husband surprised me on the plane that we had reservations there, just after I read about them in VegNews, amazing evening. 
11. Who taught you to cook? –> My dad, watching him cook and taking careful mental notes as I sat on the kitchen wooden stool. Later, my mom taught me specific techniques and kept me focused when writing about food.
