The Vegan Survival Kit
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: being vegan in Britain in 2017 is a piece of slightly overly-dense cake. And while the likes of Germany and Switzerland are blazing trails in Europe, some countries consider veganism acceptable grounds for deportation. In France, brave outposts like the lovely and gleekingly-amazing Deborah Pivain at The Gentle Gourmet (who was indirectly responsible for me taking the plunge) are paving the way in the face of yawnsome meat-zealots who look at you as if you’ve just spat on the Tricolore when you ask if there’s an option without meat, cheese, eggs or (they seem to consider this something separate) ham.
