The Face of Vegetarianism!

Tomorrow marks the start of National Vegetarian Week (NVW) promoted by the Vegetarian Society (est. 1847 - wow!!) and hopefully your local food stores, cafes and restaurants with be highlighting this and providing ideas for tasty vegetarian meals. You can check this out at www.nationalvegetarianweek.org. This is now in its 24th year and literally going from strength to strength with more people choosing to be kinder to their own bodies, animals and, of course, the planet.

At the same time my home city, Leeds, is holding its own food and drink festival 12-30th May called Leeds Indie Food, supported by Leeds BID and Leeds City Council. This looks like being a fantastic event with street food markets, pop-up venues, beer, wine and coffee tasting and several vegan and vegetarian food events. Check it out at www.leedsindiefood.co.uk 

Last year I totally missed NVW and mentioned it belatedly in my blog dated 31/05/15 which included my old standby recipe of Naan Bread Pizzas. This gave ideas for toppings and design, one of which was to make a face using roasted peppers and onions. The photo below shows that it is possible to make a face without actually doing anything to the naan!
