  With the tours from Vegan Food Tour Utrecht we introduce people to a variety of delicious vegan food, made by passionate and independent restaurant and cafe owners. During a 3,5 hours tour by foot or on a bicycle, we share their stories of courage, entrepreneurship and pioneering. Our guides will point out interesting sites that you pass during the tours, which include historical, quirky and personal anekdotes. The city tours are available every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The urban cycling tours are available every Friday and Saturday. We also organise private team-building tours. With Vegan Food Tour Utrecht, we want to introduce people to veganism in a positive way. We are not here to judge, but to inspire. Our long term mission is to help accelerate the transition to a fair, inclusive, sustainable and animal friendly food system. Show less

In order to do so, we are mapping and quantifying the effects of our trips on a destination, its people, the economy, nature, biodiversity, animals and the climate in general. In co-operation with the Impact Institute, we are calculating the true price of transport options to and from our destinations. This includes externalities, like climate impact of CO2e emissions, air pollution and health issues caused by airports (e.g. noise disturbance), that are not yet taken into account when determining the price of a flight ticket.

Lekker koken met restjes

• Cook Book Author (2 titles)

  • Mar 2014 - Present

  After the great succes of my first leftover cook book, I recently published my second cook book against food waste. With 'Lekker koken met restjes' I inspire people to see leftovers as new ingredients. I share tips on cooking, buying and storing food. It contains more than 50 leftover recipes for every day of the year. 'Cooking with left overs is fun!' That's the (translated) title of the book I wrote in 2014. Inspired by the campaign Hoezo50kilo I did for the Dutch Nutrition Centre, I decided to share my knowledge about avoiding domestic food waste in a cook book. The book includes 144 pages, filled with over 500 tips on how to avoid food waste. I sold 15.000 copies in a period of 2 years. I managed to finance the book by raising € 15.110,- with a crowd fund campaign: https://www.crowdaboutnow.nl/nowastedaisy Show less
