Welcome to our December issue – it’s time to embrace all things festive! Whether this is your first Christmas as a vegan or you’re a seasoned pro, we’ve packed this issue with exciting recipes (p11), ethical party fashion (p68) and gift ideas for fellow vegan foodies (p10). This time of year can be tricky when you’re a non-meat eater – from work dos to the day itself, negotiating your way through buffet tables, turkey dinners and family debates can sometimes start to feel a bit stressful. Help is at hand though with our complete guide to planning for the festive period on p56.
I’ve been loving the crisp, cold days this month and long walks with my dog, but the lower temperatures play havoc with my skin. If this sounds familiar, discover new beauty brand Love Beauty & Planet on p65 (their products smell amazing!) and for chapfree lips, turn to p66 for our DIY guide to making your own lip balms (they make lovely Christmas gifts, too).
