🏝 TREE 177: Five Good Things 2 – Lead with deliciousness

I have worked with Anna Jones, the vegetarian food writer, for about eight years. Unsurprisingly, she has taught me to be a better cook. 

But she has also taught me something even more useful: in order to change minds, lead with the positive.

As a vegetarian, her ethos has always been about getting people to eat more vegetables and less meat. She made the conscious choice to show how satisfying and delicious vegetarian food is (not how wrong/bad/forbidden meat is). As a result, she is a best-selling author and thousands of people are eating less meat. 

We can all lead a bit more with the delicious in life. Oh, and if you do want to be a better vegetarian/vegan cook, this article is a cracker.

This week’s guest author, illustrator and music chooser is Jess Lea-Wilson.
