I chose to change my diet to a vegan one, for animal welfare and environmental reasons, and it’s been a brilliant decision. It’s just a part of my life, I feel better and importantly,  I know my decision is having a really positive impact. Join in this National Vegetarian Week, tuck into some tasty recipes and give it a go too!

Annabelle Randles, Founder of The Flexitarian, cook / food writer

Reducing the amount of meat in our diet benefits our health and the health of the planet. National Vegetarian Week is a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself to make plants centre stage for a week. Having so many delicious recipes to try, makes it easy and manageable. Enjoy!

Anna Jones, cook / writer / best-selling author

National Vegetarian Week encourages us, for just one week, to put a spotlight on delicious vegetable-centred meals. We all know we should be eating more vegetables and less meat, fish and dairy, for both our bodies and the planet and now is the time.

Eco-Chef Tom Hunt

Food is love. It connects us to our family and friends but also to our local and global food producers and even nature through our food web. Reconnecting with our food in this way can help us make the best choices for our personal and planetary health whilst even improving our food experiences and the taste of our food.

National Vegetarian Week is a great chance to focus on vegetable-based dishes and share enticing recipes. And hopefully encourage us to incorporate more plant-based food in our diets, which is better for our own health and the planet.

Thomasina Miers, cook / co-founder of Wahaca / food writer

Eating a diet high in delicious seasonal veg, would not only have a huge impact on curbing carbon emissions but would also give a much needed boost of support for nature and biodiversity (not to mention a boost to our guts).  It is one of the easiest ways to save our rainforests, birds and bees.  So let’s embrace the huge variety of gorgeous fruits and vegetables at our fingertips, cook them in wild and wonderful ways and by doing so, look to reduce our meat intake.

Ella Mills, Founder of Deliciously Ella

Our aim at Deliciously Ella is to show how delicious, easy, and exciting plant-based food can be, to encourage more people to give a few more veggie meals a go. We’re so proud to support the Vegetarian Society with their mission, which is so aligned to ours.

Michaela Strachan, award-winning TV presenter and author

Being vegetarian or even deciding to eat less meat, is such a simple, personal and positive step to helping the environment. Feel empowered, make a difference, strive for a more plant based diet.

Ceallach Spellman, actor/presenter

A beautiful week that anyone can get involved with. Adopting a more plant based diet is one of the most powerful things we can do as an individual to help turn the tide on the Climate Crisis. We all need to think more about the food we eat and where it comes from, getting involved in a week like this is a great place to start and a tasty one too.

Kitten Pyramid

Kitten Pyramid love National Vegetarian Week and the Vegetarian Society who so generously supported our environmental short horror film KIDDO. We would encourage anyone on the fence over whether to stop eating meat to try just one week on a vegetarian diet. After a week of discovering all the new products and realising how great they are, it should be very hard to go back to eating meat.

World Pig Week

World Pig Week is delighted to support National Vegetarian Week. We’ll never forget the support the Vegetarian Society gave to our launch this year to help keep piggies off plates x  It’s so easy to transition these days, with so many tasty and nutritious plant-based alternatives. There’s absolutely no justification to support the barbaric livestock industry. If you love animals, please stop eating them!

Denai Moore, vegan chef

I have a lovely recipe that showcases one of my favourite ways to make green veggies! Lots of texture and balanced flavours, I’m super excited to share my recipe with National Vegetarian Week.

Max La Manna, low-waste chef / award-winning author

I’m incredibly honoured to be a supporter for NVW. It means a lot for me to be able to share my recipes with NVW. If you eat plant-based 365 days a year or you’re looking for more veg on your plate, my recipes are for everyone and anyone. Thank you for the work of Vegetarian Society and happy NVW!

Jordan Pomerance, Young MasterChef’s vegan finalist

National Vegetarian Week is a great chance to explore the delicious ways we can use fruit and veg to create something amazing!

Kwoklyn Wan, TV chef and best-selling author

Whether you’re a devout vegan or a carnivore who enjoys a graze on the green side, delicious vegetarian food shouldn’t be about trying to mimic meat dishes or relegating them to the ‘sides’ section of the menu, we should be celebrating the vast selection of veggies available to us in all their colourful and nutritious glory.

Eddie Shepherd, award winning modern plant-based chef

National Vegetarian week is a great time to explore cooking and eating fantastic and varied plant-based meals. There’s never been more options, information and exciting ideas out there to make this a fun and delicious opportunity to eat well and help the planet.

Kim-Joy, Great British Bake Off Star

There’s so much incredible vegetarian and vegan food and I think it’s so exciting how many people are seeing that too!
