From the desk of Dr Nandita Shah…
If you are plant-based when the rest of the world is travelling, celebrating or eating out at restaurants in the conventional way, it can indeed seem like deprivation. I remember when I first learned about the truth of the dairy industry, I knew I had to stop consuming it. Yet, I was a bit worried about being deprived of cheese and ice cream and other delicacies. But necessity is the mother of invention and I started experimenting in the kitchen and created amazing dairy-free alternatives. As the SHARAN team grew, more people added their ideas and we now have almost 600 whole food plant-based recipes on our website!
To add to that we also have wonderful cooking classes to bring the best of healthy plant-based nutrition to you. The best thing about this is that we can enjoy everything and yet live according to our values and heal our bodies.
I totally understand that we need to eat out, travel and visit people. Nowadays there are so many ready-made plant-based alternatives available for that occasional indulgence. Most good restaurants have vegan items on their menus and there are amazing vegan restaurants in most big cities. I recently had the opportunity to invite my extended family to one and they all enjoyed the food even though they are not vegan. Travel, too, has become easier than ever before.
The world is changing fast, and if we are to keep up with it we will have to change our ways, otherwise we will all succumb to climate change. I read somewhere that there are only two kinds of people – vegans and vegans-to-be. There will not be a third option. So, let’s celebrate the fact that we have already chosen the right path and can now inspire others.
| We have four amazing retreats coming up and each one with a different theme! One is all about going raw, another one is designed for families, plus we have a weight loss retreat and even a residential cooking one! Exciting isn’t it? Get more info here. |
