P.S. Don’t forget to ask about allergies!
Some people are vegan simply because they don’t want to eat animals. On the other hand, some people are vegan because they actually have allergies and can’t digest food that is prepared anywhere near meat.
With this in mind, just be sure to ask your guests before your event if they have any allergy concerns. Then it’s time to get this show on the road! Be assured your vegan friends will appreciate your kind concern in taking the time to prepare a beautiful vegan friendly meal with them specially in mind.
Above all, have fun with it, get creative and enjoy the prep!
Bon Appetite!
Sincerely
