We’d also like to encour­age you to check out the Wel­ling­ton Veget­ari­an Food & Life­style Fest­iv­al on Sat­urday Sat­urday Septem­ber 29 at St Johns in the City, Cnr Wil­lis and Dix­on Streets.

Join us to cel­eb­rate World Veget­ari­an Day with an excit­ing range of stalls cov­er­ing everything from veget­ari­an cook­ery demon­stra­tions and tast­ings, life­style products, cruelty-free beauty products, to nutri­tion­al inform­a­tion. View doc­u­ment­ar­ies played on a big screen being run through­out the day, and hear inform­at­ive speak­ers talk about human health, the envir­on­ment­al effects of food pro­duc­tion, new edu­ca­tion ini­ti­at­ives in schools, anim­al health, and anim­al rights.

Or if that all sounds like too much hard work, here’s a really easy recipe for dhal.
