Eating out. You may love it, loathe it, or be completely ‘Meh!’ about it, but unless you’re vegan from birth, your experience with restaurants has probably changed a bit since you’ve switched to a plant-based diet. There’s nothing like flipping through a menu to make you painfully aware of how heavily our ‘normal’ diet relies [...]

These delicious wraps are just perfect for the road. Tried and proven two weeks ago after our visit to Dunedin and Moeraki. Did we mention that was when we finally saw some penguins? 
The taste of sea, wrapped in rice paper, was the perfect combination for exploring the coast…

For a long time, the penguin seemed as mythical a beast to me as the kiwi: you’d hear about them, you’d see signs warning you not to hit any with your car, and you’d even meet people who’d seen them – but you never actually saw them yourself. I was beginning to believe they were just [...]

Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables? Then you probably know they’re spraying them a lot more than back in the day. Unfortunately, the size, shape and color seem to be the most important criteria when choosing produce. Instead of shopping with our head, we’re shopping with our eyes.

We decided to do some exploring on our last visit to Dunedin (something we [...]

I’m really proud of how this masterpiece turned out. This little treat has a grand total of 6% fats. And don’t even get me started on the taste, although it’s the orange forsting made with coconut sugar that really wraps it up for your taste buds. Drooling yet?

We posted the account of our fast-tracked (and slightly stressful) visa acquisition process right at the very start of this blog. But in the past few months, we’ve noticed that plenty of people still ask us about working in New Zealand or moving here permanently. I don’t know if it’s because of its Lord of [...]

Milk. Dairy products. Unless you were brought up by apes and had no exposure to mass media, education and health care systems, these words certainly bring certain phrases to mind: “Makes you stronger!”; “Natural Goodness”; “White Gold” and so on. Calcium, protein, good fats and images of happy cows lining up for the farmer to [...]

Last week, we published an infographic about vegan egg substitutes. Time to put our money where our mouth is, so to speak. This vegan omelette would certainly pass a visual comparison, and if you’re worried about the taste, just sprinkle on some volcanic salt right after or just before the end of cooking . Ingredients (makes [...]
