Winter is a great time of year to be vegan. Warming soups, hearty hotpots and puddings are all easy to make without meat or dairy, so you won’t have to go without your favourite seasonal comfort foods. And on the high street, more and more big name retailers are increasing their vegan ranges, meaning you’re almost guaranteed some choice when you hit the town. Want to know the latest? Follow @accidentallyveganuk on Instagram for the most up-todate, vegan-friendly high street and supermarket finds. Eating out as a vegan is increasingly easy, with more and more cafés, restaurants and bars catering to meat-, dairy- and egg-free diets. Pretty much every chain offers at least one or two options (check menus online), and while independent eateries can vary wildly it’s always worth asking – many chefs are happy to make a modification or two to accommodate. Apps that will help you find a vegan eatery include The Happy Cow and Vanilla Bean (pictured, left), but in general Indian, Japanese and Thai restaurants are always a good bet as these cuisines usually include plant-based dishes as a matter of course.
