Traffic Light Dips

by Roxy, So Vegan November 21, 2017November 7, 2021
November 21, 2017November 7, 2021

One of the best things about being vegan is meeting like-minded people and sharing exciting ideas, recipes and lessons on how to live healthier, happier lives.

It’s something we hadn’t really considered when we decided to go vegan, but over the past 18 months we’ve had the pleasure of meeting some truly inspirational people and collaborating with others in the vegan community always gives us a real buzz.

Sarah at Made In Hackney is one of these people. Made In Hackney is a charity and vegan community kitchen which believes “everyone should have access to healthy, affordable food that’s good for people and planet”.

Living in London ourselves, this is a local cause we really believe in. In fact, they’re crowdfunding right now to raise £85K so they can help 10,000 people over the next five years attend their life changing cookery courses.

The crowdfunder ends on 27th November and you can donate here. What’s more, there are some amazing rewards for anyone who donates.

We invited Sarah to the So Vegan kitchen to film her awesome recipes for Traffic Light Dips. Not only is Sarah an inspirational leader in the vegan community, she’s also a fantastic cook! These dips are vibrant, fresh and they really look the part.
