BBC to Launch Vegan Cooking Show
The BBC is about to make your New Year with the launch of its first vegan cooking show, The Dirty Vegan.
The four-part series is set to launch on BBC Wales in January and according to The Sun, will go “nationwide on BBC2 in the spring.”
The Dirty Vegan is hosted by Dirty Sanchez star and vegan stunt performer Matt Pritchard, who stated:
“If someone had told me 20 years ago I would have a vegan cookery show, I would have laughed all the way to my grave. But life takes you in strange directions — and I’m hoping Dolph Lundgren will have one of my vegan sausages.”
According to VegNews,
“Pritchard is challenged to create vegan meals for groups of people with specific nutritional needs, such as a female sports team, mountain rescuers, and senior citizens. He cooks two or three recipes per episode and examines the science behind ingredients such as egg replacers.”
Three years ago, Pritchard told Wales Online why he made the decision to go vegan:
“I bought a dog, Lemmy, and every time I looked at him I thought ‘I can’t eat meat any more.’ There are health reasons too but I love animals and the treatment they get is awful. I’m just doing it for myself and for health reasons and because of the treatment of animals.”
