Caring Cook

Hi my name is Tara. I've been Vegetarian since 2005 and went Vegan a year later. I went Veg after hearing and reading about mad cow disease and bird flu. These issues made me take a closer look at where my food was coming from and what I was putting in my body. After that it just snowballed into learning more about how the food we eat not only effects our bodies but the animals and the environment. 

When I Started out on my new lifestyle I was buying a lot of meat imitations to substitute for what I normally ate. I was eating at the same restaurants and seeing that my menu was dwindling down to just a couple of options. So I decided to go out and make some veg friends. So where does one go to make veg friends? I heard that there were regular protests at KFC (held by Liberation BC) so I went down in the hopes of making change and making friends. Wow what a blast those Protests were! and effective too. I learned so much. 

So I have put this website together in the hopes of helping other people on their veg journey.

Cheers,
Tara
