When did you decide to go vegan?
K: As a life-long animal lover, I have been vegetarian since childhood. I became a full lifestyle vegan 13 years ago (in 2006), when I moved to London for university. I stumbled across a fruit and vegetable market, which left me intoxicated with new fragrances and tastes. I had a very limited budget and found that vegan foods allowed me to cook dishes that would become staples, without the use of any animal ingredients.
