Eat your greens! Yes. But it's so much fun, trust me. It's National Vegetarian Week this week. Let's happily get involved.

From Vegetarian Society Org

A really super, refreshing, energising, we-like-change thing to do.
Immerse yourself in the, current, National Vegetarian Week.

There are so many links to the most delightful recipes, so many veggie restaurants in the city i can recommend you pop along to this week - and always! - so many... well, everything to be quite honest. I could go on, trust me, but as a highlight i was thinking these.

So here are to name but a few.

I found this today in Stylist magazine, a personal favourite of mine right now. How tempting is this...

Pistachio cake with white chocolate frosting  

http://www.stylist.co.uk/life/recipes/pistachio-cake-with-white-chocolate-frosting

This won the Guardian best recipe from a reader at the end of last year: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/nov/19/observer-food-monthly-awards-2010-vegetarian 

I very luckily had this cooked for me and it is quite something.

Stella McCartney posted this recipe in aid of the national week http://www.riverford.co.uk/recipes/recipes/by:category/vegetable_main_courses/leek-wild-garlic-frittata-with-sundried-tomatoes-ricotta/ 

 Which i really must try.

Places to eat in London include Manna, my personal favourite. http://www.mannav.com/ 

Mildred's. Again if you're in the know, you already know about this place. http://www.mildreds.co.uk/

Royal Tea's. THE best breakfast in London. http://www.royalteascafe.co.uk/ 

This cafe in Vauxhall, myself and Time Out - perfect if you want to got to the Tate Britain too - love. http://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/venue/2:23111/ragged-canteen

And of course, if you want to be super up on the green world-organic-raw stuff. There is only place to try, the cocktails are exquisite, but the food is rather good too: Saf  http://www.safrestaurant.co.uk/

But you don't have to go to a veggie restaurant specifically, you can choose all manner of the most delicious things from any good restaurant, I'd even simply recommend the S&M Cafe (Sausage & Mash: let's just be clear) for the vegetarian sausages, or Square Pie for the veg pies etc... etc...

It's a worthy, nice, and simple thing to do to make a change and i think you will enjoy it.  And be very, very, pleasently surprised.

Also... don't forget to buy vegetarian fashion... http://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk/

The labels 'blog' Stella's World is particularly uplifting, insightful and kind. http://www.stellamccartney.co.uk/en/stellas-world/whats-news

Bon appetite! And thank you Vegetarian Society https://www.vegsoc.org/
