Hello! I'm Iona from Edinburgh :blush: I've been vegetarian and mostly vegan since October, but this month I'm taking part in Veganuary (going vegan for all of January) - and hoping to make it a permanent change! I'm super excited to find some good vegan recipes and to meet some like-minded...

Hey.. I posted on the purelyvegan guest forum but noticed it's not too active. You guys seem really active here though so I'll repost... 'Hey, I've just transitioned from full on meat-eater (meat & eggs every day, not so much dairy though) to vegan about 3/4 weeks ago. I expected hell the first...
