The Vegan Guide Reviews

"A comprehensive and accessible guide to becoming a vegan; the authors are ardent and knowledgeable, mixing their evident passion and commitment to veganism with humour and insight and heaps of practical advice. The book is clearly divided into chapters covering all aspects of the vegan journey from ethics to health, diet and lifestyle and counter-arguments to the customary questions and concerns of non vegans. I would say this is essential reading for anyone considering or embarking upon a vegan lifestyle." Lorna Glenwright, Southampton. "Chapter 4 is the best, fairly falling off my chair laughing." Tim Barford, founder of Vegfest UK. "This is so great. I've just started reading it but can already see how thorough the content is and how much work Alex and Ronny poured into it." Aurelia d'Andrea, former editor of Vegnews.
