Reading various stories and blog posts about Halloween, I’m starting to wish I was in the US to celebrate it this year (alas, pumpkin carving and trick-or-treating are just not popular activities in Switzerland). Here are just a few of the web sites showing us how Halloween can be fun for the whole vegetarian family:

On the plane ride over to Japan, I was engrossed in the novel My Year of Meats by Ruth L. Ozeki. The title makes it sound like an unlikely choice of reading for a vegetarian, doesn’t it? At least that’s what I thought when Riana first handed it to me. She assured me that I’d […]
Looking for a creative new way to celebrate Thanksgiving this year? How about adopting a turkey? I bet you won’t be able to resist Blossom’s charm.
Too much emu oil in your usual facial? Maybe it’s time to find a vegan spa (such as the one featured in this article) in your area for some cruelty-free […]
Since I’ve started mentioning to friends and family that I am considering going vegan, several well-meaning but misguided folks have warned me about about getting enough protein or suggested I eat lots of beans with rice to make sure I got all my essential amino acids in the right combinations.This combination theory comes from the […]
One of the few culinary perks involved in moving from Italy to Switzerland was being able to eat Quorn again on a regular basis (it is widely available here and in several other countries, but apparently not sold at all in Italy). I love this stuff!
For those of you who have no idea what I’m […]
I’ve been a vegetarian for so long that I hardly ever think about the ‘why’ anymore. It’s just automatic, a habit of avoiding meat.

With the vast array of recipes on the internet, I usually turn to Google before running to my cookbook shelf, which is full of dusty old tomes that remind me of college (which is when I used to use most of them). There’s the Moosewood Cookbook, which was all the rage back in the day. […]
(besides their love of singing and wearing make-up, that is….)
A: You guessed it, they’re both vegetarians.
Looking for a famous vegetarian role model, but don’t know where to find him/her? FamousVeggie.com has the list for you. You can even search for vegans. Not enough celebrities? The International Vegetarian Union offers this list by field, and HappyCow […]
I’ve always been slightly amused at all of the fake-meat and fake-dairy products out there. There are hundreds of these products in existence, if not thousands. And when people evaluate such products, they usually do so by comparing the product to the meat or daily product it is supposed to emulate. Why do I […]
Be sure to skip the vegetarian restaurants, says this recent article on Bloomberg. According to the author, “Vegetarians can eat well in Paris, so long as they steer clear of restaurants serving only vegetables.” Although it sounds hard to believe, she was able to find better vegetarian fare at traditional French restaurants than those she […]
