With recipes including Plant-based Pain au Chocolat, 10-minute Mac and Cheese and Vegan Paella, Madeleine's book will inspire you to cook a variety of delicious, simple and affordable meals taking you from breakfast right through to lunch and dinner (with some tasty treats thrown in for good measure!)

Maddie grew up in Cornwall and now lives with her husband in a gorgeous Cornish farmhouse that she is renovating and documenting online. She went vegan in her final year at university whilst struggling with an eating disorder at a difficult and highly pressured time in her life. She says that initially it felt like the lure of a new diet, but her motivations for going vegan changed when she learned about what it really stood for. The environmental benefits of plant based meals is one of here primary inspirations.

She started her YouTube channel in 2016 sharing videos on veganism, minimalism, and sustainability after being inspired by other online content creators. She has a total of over 660,000 followers across her platforms and has received over 52 million views on her YouTube channel. This will be a great evening to get inspired and join in the conversation about food and planet.
