Never has ditching the meat been so easy.

Veggies get a bit of a bad rep. The overwhelming dread of one coming around for a meal which results in frantic Googling of how to spell “ratatouille” followed by “ratatouille recipes”. So, in celebration of National Vegetarian Week, we’ve created a mini guide for the most astute of vegetarians to try some dishes they may not have been aware of and give zealous meat eaters a veggie comparison worth considering.

Here’s a reminder that dining out doesn’t have to mean missing out.
