Veganuary officially started in 2014 as a way to encourage, promote, and educate the general public about the benefits of a vegan diet and, since it’s launch, participation in the yearly event has more than doubled each year.
This isn’t all that surprising; in addition to wanting to kick off the new year with a healthy eating goal, climate breakdown is a key factor in more and more people making changes to their diet to help the planet, eat well, and discover creative and interesting ways to cook, without leaning on dairy and meat.
Vegan cooking is an art and for those of us who are used to making meat or dairy the key focus of a meal, is an eye-opening avenue to discover new cooking methods, new ingredients, and your favourite new dishes.
But, if you’re starting out new and in need of some inspiration, visiting a vegan restaurant, or one with a plant-based menu, can be a good way to start the process, see how the pros do it, and get inspired in your own kitchen.
