I feel passionately about environmental issues, animal welfare and health, so its no coincidence that I am vegan. Myself along with my family are vegans and have been developing vegan recipes for generations. I am a 20 year old female business student at Northumbria University, I have been faced with many opportunities over the past few years that could have lead to an amazing income for my future, although very tempting I did not feel that that was the path that I wanted to tread, I wanted to start a business that ethics dominated over profit, I asked myself could I make a difference no matter how small, could I improve diets of people and educated them to the damage meat based products can cause to the environment, the answer was an overwhelming YES. The Vegan Kitchen was born..
