“As a long-time foodie, I had developed some pretty good cooking skills, but turning vegan was a whole new challenge! I had to retrain myself to cook without animal products. It was a surprisingly rewarding learning curve! School Night Vegan is essentially my food journal, documenting the meals I make and the stuff I learn.”7Richard Makin. Webpage.
