We're James and Amy,

The

Fussy Vegans

We're a couple of 20-somethings who chose to eat plant-based at the end of 2019, but we're normal-ish and don't just want to eat salads!

That's why we've started this project to share our recipes and reviews of new products. We'll be sharing our tried and tested, plant-based versions of traditional meals and trialling the new Vegan products so you don't have to.
