As 600,000 people worldwide take on the challenge to go vegan for the month of January, five chefs share their best advice for creating delicious plant-based dishes
Doing Veganuary this month? You’re not alone: the campaign, which sees people going vegan for the whole of January, has seen a record sign-up rate in 2023, with more than 600,000 people globally expected to take on the challenge.
