While the last four years have seen me become pretty adept at building a vegan pantry, I’m the first to admit that veganising my wardrobe and make-up bag has been a slow and gradual process. Last summer I shared some of my top vegan beauty product picks, and I’m happy to report that my repertoire is…
Vegan Tofu Halloumi
Like most vegans, I’m often asked what I foods I “miss” the most – and to be frank with you, it’s a hard question to answer purely because I genuinely don’t find the taste of most animal products appealing.
