Welcome
When this issue hits the shelves or arrives

�����������������������������������������������������������������������������������
with as much delicious vegan food as you possibly can. You deserve it.
This year hasn't been an easy one for anybody, so we wanted to take the chance
to say thank you for the best Christmas present you ever could have given us – the
opportunity to still be here, keeping you entertained with informative articles and
treating you to tasty new recipe ideas. Your support in subscribing to the magazine
or continuing to track it down in the supermarkets – even when the long queues
meant you just wanted to get in and out of there as quickly as possible – really
means the world to us. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We can't wait
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
yourselves safe and warm and have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
