Join Sri Lankan vegan activist, entrepreneur, animal rescuer, and public relations head at Vegan Sri Lanka Tashie Roberts, and the co-founder of Vegan Travel Asia, Zac Lovas, as they take you on a vegan journey around the incredible island of Sri Lanka. Learn about the best destinations in Sri Lanka to travel in as a vegan, and for the other destinations – how to not only get by but also genuinely enjoy the country’s delicious local food as a vegan. Imagine a country smaller than Ireland but with almost 5 times the number of people, who together make up not less than 20 different ethnic groups speaking 2 official national languages, with 3 commonly spoken languages along with a wide array of other dialects and creole languages. Located along the crossroads of the ancient spice trade, Sri Lanka is blessed with wonderfully tasty, and wonderfully diverse, cuisines. This maritime trade had a very big influence on the country’s delicious cuisines that developed largely as a result of the fusion between local ingredients, cooking traditions, and the culinary traditions of spice-seeking merchants and immigrants that came here to trade, and in many cases – settled, on the island. Tashie will help you understand how you can prepare for your trip as you embark on a vegan adventure in this diverse and fascinating country - noting tips and secrets to finding the best veg food the incredible island has to offer.
