Gratitude.

2021 has been an exceptional year in many respects – and not least the sometimes overwhelming challenges we have all faced.

And although the latter half of 2021 has seen some return to life as we once knew, recent events have cast a long shadow over many of us, with many facing yet more uncertainty in the months ahead.

So step forward all those that have battled to stay afloat, kept their businesses alive, continued to campaign for animals, grown, evolved and matured, created, succeeded and used the current climate to motivate themselves further to achieve yet more in the world of all things vegan and plant based, and take a bow people. These awards especially reflect those achievements.

Recent events at COP26 have highlighted once more the need for grassroots independent vegan and plant based people, products, publications, projects and campaigns, with governments from across the globe shunning the science when it comes to climate change and livestock farming. Now more than ever have we need a strong global vegan collective, collaborations and supportive actions, community led initi-

4

atives and genuine people power.

If you’re a part of this, you’re a part of the solution.

And an extended thankyou for everyone we haven’t included in this awards – all the wonderful people across the globe fighting for animal liberation, climate justice and human rights, and barely if ever thanked or recognised even. These awards are for you in spirit if not in presence.

And thankyou everyone voting in the awards this year – thankyou for taking a stand for animals, for people and for the planet in your daily lives, and thanks for voting too!

To all those nominated - good luck - you deserve recognition for your achievements in the pursuit of a vegan world and we thankyou for your commitment.

But a special thankyou goes to those who have supported and enabled us to, for now, continue to produce these awards, as well as the vegan resources we will continue to work on until we can bring live events back again for VegfestUK. Respect.

NOT MADE FOR VEGANS MADE FOR THE PLANET So be you a fan of dark, smooth and velvety, if dreamily creamy is your thing, or if you’re just crazy for caramelly crunchy, we’ve created something to tantalise your type of taste bud.

We had a dream that chocolate could be made a whole lot better.

Better for the body.

Better for the planet.

Better for our suppliers.

But most important of all – better tasting.

So we made that dream come true.

We reinvented the recipe; cutting out dairy, refined sugars and palm oil.

We reimagined the supply chain too; paying fair prices for great ingredients that don’t come with hefty carbon footprints.

We even rethought the packaging – ours is plastic free.

We didn’t set out to make delicious chocolate for vegans.

We set out to make delicious, sustainable, healthier chocolate for chocolate lovers (and that’s pretty much everyone on the planet).

Take a bite and you’ll realise why we’re most proud of the bars themselves.

Mouth-watering natural ingredients like Peruvian cacao, coconut blossom sugar and whole roasted hazelnuts all play their part. As do superfruits like zesty baobabs and caramel tasting lucumas.

Favourite Vegan Book The Nominees This year has seen a truly exciting array of vegan and plant-based book releases, from fiction, to cookbooks, guides and beyond. As always it’s very difficult to narrow down the nominees to a mere 10 per category so we’ve decided to make two! So here are our selections for ‘Best Vegan Book’ for 2021.

‘The Vegan Guide’

‘Brotha Vegan’

Alex Bourke

Omowale Adewale (editor)

The Vegan Guide covers everything you need to embrace the world’s fastest growing way of life. It covers all the issues including why vegan, the latest nutrition information (older books will be out of date on vitamin B12 in particular), cooking techniques, and for the first time in the UK the psychology of discussing veganism.

Brotha Vegan unpacks the lived experience of black men on veganism, fatherhood, politics, sexuality, gender, health, popular culture, spirituality, food, animal advocacy, the environment, and the many ways that veganism is lived and expressed within the Black community in the United States. Edited by Omowale Adewale—founder of Black Vegfest.

‘How To Argue With Vegans’

‘Why Veganism Matters’

Benny Malone How To Argue With Vegans examines the most common talking points that arise when veganism is discussed.

The book progresses through the initial reactions and not wanting to seriously engage on the subject to those arguments which are more pertinent but ultimately not valid justifications for exploiting animals.

18

VOTE NOW!

Gary L. Francione Most people care about animals, but only a tiny fraction are vegan. The rest often think of veganism as an extreme position. They certainly do not believe that they have a moral obligation to become vegan.

Why Veganism Matters presents the case for the personhood of nonhuman animals and for veganism.

‘Vegan Voices’

‘Think Like A Vegan’

Joanne Kong (editor)

Emilia A. Leese & Eva J. Charalambides

Why should one go vegan? Is veganism the positive change the world needs? Vegan Voices: Essays by Inspiring Changemakersis a comprehensive collection of compelling testimonials of how our food choices are deeply connected to the pressing challenges and issues of our time.

Through a personal and often irreverent lens the book explores applying vegan ethics to our daily lives. It examines contemporary topics related to animal use: from basics of vegan logic to politics, economics, love and practical scenarios helping readers think about animal ethics.

‘Manifesto’

‘Animals in Irish Society’

Dale Vince

Dr. Corey Lee Wrenn

Dale Vince never intended to start a business.

Driven by a passion for sustainability, he left school aged 15 and became a New Age traveller, living for free in a wind-powered double decker bus. But after building his first wind turbine, he realised that to change the world he needed to be on the grid, not off it.

Animals in Irish Society is the first book to explore the vegan Irish epistemology, one that can be traced along its history of animism, agrarianism, ascendency, adaptation, and activism. This book contributes to the growing field of postcolonial Critical Animal Studies by applying theories vegan feminism and vegan socialism to the Irish context.

It Was In Our Hands (The ‘Liberation’ Trilogy) M. C. Ronen

‘Ethical Vegan’

It Was In Our Hands (by M. C Ronen) is the third and final book of ‘The Liberation Trilogy’. A rewarding climax to this breath-taking dystopian suspense series, with its clear vegan/ animal rights message. Like its two page-turners prequels, this one is also sure to keep you at the edge of your seat.

Originally from Catalonia, but resident in the UK for several decades, Jordi Casamitjana is a vegan zoologist specialising in animal behaviour, and author of the book “Ethical Vegan: a personal and political journey to change the world”. He is known for having secured the legal protection of all UK ethical vegans from discrimination in the UK.

Favourite Plant-Based Book The Nominees The other of this year’s book categories, here are the nominations for ‘Favourite Plant-Based Book’. Some big names in the vegan world have individually decided to write and release in many cases their first books, and we’re delighted to nominate the following.

‘Eating Plant-Based’ Dr. Shireen Kassam & Zahra Kassam

‘Vegans Deserve Better Than A Fruit Salad’ Danielle Maupertuis

This is the go-to book for anyone wanting to explore the science and benefits of a plantbased diet. The Q&A format provides a valuable resource for anyone seeking answers to commonly asked questions.

Written by two sisters and doctors who have extensive experience in the field of plantbased nutrition.

With more than 60 recipes -covering buffets, birthdays, plated desserts, Festive desserts, afternoon tea and chocolates - Chef Danielle will convince you vegan desserts are easy to make, taste yummy and look fantastic.

‘The Plant-Based Athlete’

‘The Plant Power Doctor’

Robert Cheeke & Matt Frazier The only research-based guide for connecting a plantbased diet with peak athletic performance, featuring interviews with professional athletes who’ve made the switch from meat to plants.

However, committing to a plant-based diet as an elite athlete, firsttime marathoner, or weekend warrior isn’t as simple as swapping vegetables for meat.

Ammir Kassam & Laila Kassam

‘The Plant-Based Diet Revolution’ Dr Alan Desmond

Given the central role of the food and agriculture system in driving so many of the connected ecological, social and economic threats and challenges we currently face, Rethinking Food and Agriculture reviews, reassesses and reimagines the current food and agriculture system and the narrow paradigm in which it operates.

As rates of chronic disease continue to rise, ‘What should we eat?’ has become one of the most important questions of the 21st century. Dr Alan Desmond cuts through the diet confusion to explain how we can all unlock the power of a healthy gut and optimise our overall well-being by simply putting more plants on our plate.

Honestly Tasty, a plant based food start-up in Haringey, was founded

by Mike when his veganism came up against his love for cheese. After months of experimenting, Mike landed on a winner, Veganzola (now known affectionately, as ‘Blue’). At that point, Mike closed the door on corporate banking and founded Honestly Tasty.
