Blog Introduction
Hello! Welcome to my blog. If you (like myself) are vegetarian, concerned about the terrifying reality of the meat industry's impact on global warming or just happen to be living in Glasgow and seeking inspiration for restaurant recommendations then you have come to the right place.
I made the decision two years ago to live completely meat-free. Since then, I haven’t looked back. My motivation? A mix of being desperately grossed out by Netflix’s food-health documentaries and a genuine love for the flavour of vegetables.
YOU on the other hand may not share the same love for plant-based food but you may care about saving the planet. The statistics are there; animal agriculture accounts for 14.5% of greenhouse gas emissions; it utilises 70% of agricultural land - resulting in increased deforestation, biodiversity loss and water pollution. Still not bothered? Google Greta Thunberg and prepare for the passion that derailed governments everywhere.
The societal pressures can be daunting but with food it doesn't have to be! My conversion from full-time carnivore to vegetarian was made easier by living in the UK’s most vegetarian friendly city, Glasgow!

I delegated to myself the unfortunate task of tasting some of the delicious food in the restaurants around Glasgow, many of which are not explicitly vegetarian.
So, please read my recommendations and appreciate all of the yummy food I have eaten!
