When done right, a vegan diet can be incredibly good for you. But for many of us, the prospect of cutting out meat, fish and dairy is more than a little daunting.

Now, in a bid to improve Londoners’ health and help them lose weight, a pair of London food campaigners are running vegan cookery classes – and they’re absolutely free.

The evidence-based, 10-class programme has been devised by the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine, a national non-profit that promotes good nutrition and research, and encourages people to consider where their food comes from and how it’s cooked, grown and experienced.

Each two-hour class includes hands-on cookery tutorials within a group, as well as easy-to-grasp education on nutrition and healthy eating.
