Ep146. How protestors turned me vegan, with Michelin-star chef Alexis Gauthier


Listen Later

• It's Stress Awareness Month so we start this episode by discussing the lovely issue of eco anxiety and why vegans can often feel overwhelmed with the meat-eating world they live in. Holly also updates us on her Vegan Runners journey (yes, she survived the 10k!) and Molly shares some Easter delights that she's cooking up this weekend.


• Head to part 2 to hear from French Michelin-star chef Alexis Gauthier. After protestors arrived at his upmarket Soho restaurant, a spark was ignited which subsequently led Alexis to go vegan and turn his restaurant vegan too. He lost 90% of his customers, but is now busier than ever with a second restaurant now open, specialising in vegan sushi. His story and passion for the movement are inspiring and tear-jerking. A must listen!
