Sophie, a founder member of T3V, covered many aspects of vegan lifestyle and reasoning on BBC Radio Berks on the Richard Skinner show. We had a great 30 minute session. Richard Skinner is a wonderful host and did the Reading FoE personal eco-footprint calculation live on air, showing how important it is to eat plant based foods to reduce global warming.

Sophie was on the show all because it's Vegan Month.

Topics covered included the Dr Hadwen Trust for effective ethical medical research, the Viva! Fois Gras Campaign and the success in York of banning fois gras there, Being Green - Your Choices, Kids and Young People, Go Vegan in Berkshire, and our favourite places to eat out in the Thames Valley.

Sophie didn't end up featuring any recipes, but so you can benefit from the ones she was planning anyway: she planned spiced banana and coconut muffins adapted from the recipes at veginity.com, one of her favourite websites, and her stir fry was from Sophie's Veggie Snow website that shows holiday hosts and anyone else how to cook lovely vegan food.
