Octo­ber 1 is World Veg­e­tar­i­an Day, so we’d like you to com­ment and tell us about your favourite vege-friend­ly places to eat in Welling­ton.

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.
