Jasmine Harman: Back in the sun Jasmine Harman has had a reflective last year or two but is back in the hot seat in top TV show A Place in The Sun. Vegan for quite a long time now, Jasmine loves travelling (obviously) and is clearly thrilled to be back at work again.
PPP: Hi Jasmine! Are you back at work yet? Jasmine: Yes we were back at work as soon as we were able to travel again. It’s been super busy with so many people’s plans having been on hold for various reasons, now it seems that every where I’ve been house hunting, property markets are moving very quickly. PPP: Is all your crew vegan yet? Jasmine: Not quite. I work with lots of different teams all the time and there are lots more vegan and veggie people I work with than before, and lots who are more open to trying it out. We usually search for local places which have good vegan options, and I never miss an opportunity to encourage the team and the Househunters to try them. Last week we went to a vegan restaurant in Cyprus twice in one week and my house Hunter ordered the “salmon” bagel made 50 I Plant Powered Planet
with carrot and said it was so amazing he ordered it again when we went back.
understand the new rules and start holidaying overseas again.
PPP: Do you manage ok when abroad with finding vegan options then?
PPP: What’s your idea of the ideal romantic meal and setting?
Jasmine: I manage pretty well. The message is getting out there and we always specifically look for restaurants with good vegan options. I often use the Happy Cow app which is great. It also depends where you are and when. For example in Greece and Cyprus during the fasting (or lent) period before Easter, there is always an abundance of vegan food as is customary for people of Greek Orthodox faith to abstain from animal products at this time.
Jasmine: I’m dreaming about a beach front restaurant, maybe in the Caribbean watching the sunset, with a cocktail and sharing some flavourful, colourful recipes made with local produce and spices, with my hubby.
PPP: Do you think travel will escalate again post-COVID? Jasmine: I think it probably will. I have noticed a big increase since last year. People will start to gain confidence and
PPP: How did Lockdown pan out for you, looking back? Jasmine: It was pretty deflating to be honest. It started off ok, but I really missed my family, I missed work a lot, I missed being able to go to my fitness classes, and I missed seeing friends. I found home schooling very challenging and I was very grateful for our family dog Jet as at least he gave us a reason to go out for a walk every day.
