I've been in Ottawa all week hosting Algonquin College's orientation week and I thought while I'm here why not spread some vegan love around this fine city as well! I got to be on CTV Morning Live today to share some of my favourite vegan creations and promote healthy alternatives to eating dairy and meat. Hosts, Lianne and Jeff seemed pretty impressed with the vanilla cheesecake with chocolate almond crust, caesar salad, and cauliflower buffalo wings... I think we might have even converted them!
