This post is a long time coming but just wanted to shout out for having a draw to win a MASSIVE vegan peanut butter cup!

I did not think I would have any chance at winning but surprise surprise - I did and now all my work colleagues love me even more.

It was delicious, it was over 6.5lbs and it took the office almost a month to finish eating it. outdid themselves on this masterpiece of sweetness!

So glad I found this new boutique candy spot with a TON of vegan friendly options as well as an owner who cares deeply about the sweet work she is doing!

Check out this spot in the College West area of Toronto when you get a craving some some sweets.

What does Happy Cow have to say about as a destination for ?

The traditional Korean diet was predominantly plant-based in its origin, especially within the Buddhist temples spread across the country. Well before veganism came to be widely recognized as essential for the planet’s wellbeing, many cultures had already been highlighting such practices.

Korean temple cuisine, as a classic example, has always excluded meat and animal products, making way for a unique vegan culinary tradition. To date, this cuisine is still practised in temples all across this beautiful country. In such a context, cooking is seen as a spiritual practice and as an expression of devotion to nature.
