Victorian Britain was surprisingly big on meatless living. Despite its portrayal as an age of unbridled conservatism, veggie food reformers, activists and health fanatics campaigned for compassionate, humane food production and an end to animal exploitation.
The Victorian Vegan takes a tour through the second half of the 19th century to hear what veggies say about their lifestyles. We lean of their experiences of foreign travel, the best veggie restaurants around the UK and how they apply science to build a better society.
This publication includes a special pull-out recipe section so you can create Victorian vegan dishes in your own kitchen.
When you’ve heard the vibrant, visionary voice of the Victorian Vegan, you’ll be asking yourself “Why are we still having this conversation?”
We also have Victorian Vegan #2 in store!
