On a side note, since it’s the time of year when most people are invited to parties, dinners & events – One of lessons I’ve learnt since going vegan is to not be embarrassed to bring your own food wherever you go. I used to always feel so weird and uncomfortable bringing my vegan food to someone else’s house or event, but actually, I think it’s a relief for not only yourself but the host too. And also, I think it’s cool to bring your own food – you’re doing your own thing and you don’t care about what other people think.
In most cases, people genuinely have no idea what to cook for a vegan, and I don’t blame them, because I felt exactly the same when I first decided to go vegan. But if you bring your own food, you know 100% that you’ll be able to eat with everyone else (so you won’t feel left out) and it means you have the opportunity to show off all your yummy vegan food! So if you have an event to go to this Christmas, I say, knock up an amazing vegan dish, whack it in some tupperware and be proud!
