WIN
Winning letter A SHINING LIGHT IN TOUGH TIMES Hats off to the Fresh Living team for putting together an amazing magazine. Since lockdown, changes surrounded our world. We were housebound, restricted, covered up with masks and banned from socialising and venturing out like we usually do. It was tough! The greatest page from this historical pandemic is that families drew closer, people developed new skills and abilities, and we learnt to live within our boxes and make the most of it. We have a new-found respect for life.
As a newlywed, my routine is made up of working from home, fitness from home, scheduled TV cooking shows, preparing my shopping list and experimental cooking. With the latest copy or even just a season-old copy of your magazine, the possibilities are endless. Not only does it feature new products on the market but it also showcases seasonal foods and provides modern recipes that are Insta-worthy. Thank you for putting the fun into staying at home. We appreciate you. – Audette VengetasGovender

{PLANT-BASED DECODED} Plant-based eating is on everyone’s lips these days. But with terms like ‘vegan’, ‘pescatarian’ and ‘lacto-ovo vegetarian’, it can all get a little complicated... Vegan: Someone who eats no animalbased or animal-derived food. Health vegans follow this diet solely for health reasons, while ethical vegans do so for animal rights and the environment. Plant-based: Any food or diet that does not include animal products. It can be termed “vegan” but “plant-based” can be specifically used because it doesn’t carry the same ethical connotations as veganism. It can also refer to meals/diets which are mostly but not entirely vegan. Lacto-ovo vegetarian: Someone who eats dairy products and eggs but no meat. Flexitarian: Someone who is mostly vegetarian but sometimes eats meat. Pescatarian: Someone who is vegetarian except for eating fish and seafood. Now that you have the lowdown on these terms, turn to page 81 to get plant-based tips, shopping lists and recipes for beginners.
