Happy Vegan Halloween!
Halloween is finally here! October always tends to fly by in a bit of a blur, maybe because there’s not a whole lot to take note of. The month, a dreary damp period with little relief, sits on the edge of winter, threatening of what’s to come. But then the 31st arrives, and for a…
A Toronto Guide to Vegan Ice Cream
While we may be heading into the last stretch of summer, the temperatures are still soaring and that means the quest for some cool, sweet, and flavourful relief is still very much on.

Je t’aime Montreal.
It’s odd that I’ve never been to Montreal before. It’s only a 5-hour train ride from Toronto (or a one hour flight). At times, I admit I’ve felt a bit apathetic towards exploring Canada more. There is a temptation to unfairly define and assess the entire country based on the qualities of its largest city, Toronto. I…

A Vegan in San Francisco
“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.” John Muir, an eloquent early advocate for wilderness preservation, a frequent explorer of California, and an occasional San Francisco resident, understood the restorative powers of interacting with the natural…
A Beef with Michael Pollan
Back in February, prolific author and journalist Michael Pollan, known for his opposition to industrialized agriculture and a polluted food culture, released a netflix series called, “Cooked.” The series, based on Pollan’s book of the same name, is an inquest into the cultural and social significance of cooking, and how manufactured foods, processed by corporations,…
