I am delighted to be Patron of Vegetarian for Life - an exciting new charity which supports older vegetarians and vegans, and those who care for them. Vegetarianism is close to my heart, and I think it’s important that people who have made this compassionate and ‘green’ lifestyle choice are themselves cared for ethically in their later years. VfL sets out to help care providers do this in these resource-stretched times.
Rose Elliot, the UK’s leading vegetarian cook and writer, has led the way in revolutionising vegetarian cooking and has played a key role in transforming the image, taste and popularity of vegetarian food.
