No bread is an island

...entire of itself. (With apologies to John Donne!)
I live and breathe breadmaking. I’m an evangelist who would like everyone to make his or her own bread. I want to demystify breadmaking and show it as the easy everyday craft that it is. To this end I endeavour to make my recipes as simple and as foolproof as I possibly can.

I call my blog 'No bread is an island' because every bread is connected to another bread. So a spicy fruit bun with a cross on top is a hot cross bun. This fruit dough will also make a fruit loaf - or Chelsea buns or a Swedish tea ring...
I'm also a vegan, so I have lots of vegan recipes on here - and I'm adding more all the time.

PLANT-BASED NUTRITION FOR DOGS - AND CATS

 As I'm fond of saying in my outreach spiel, when Lewis Hamilton went vegan, he put his dog, Roscoe, on a plant-based diet - and cured him of arthritis! [Which is exactly what happened to me when I gave up all animal products.] Roscoe is now a healthy, 11yr-old bulldog - which is a bit of a rarity!

But anecdotal evidence is meaningless - what's needed is science backed evidence. 

"From my published research in 2022, dogs fed a plant-based diet could live up to 18 months longer than those fed a meat-based diet."

"Evidence based published papers supporting dogs going plant-based."

And my good friend, Dr Arielle Griffiths, who is a plant-based vet, provides it:

Not just dogs - cats also benefit from plant-based nutrition

There are many recommendations on Dr Griffith's Facebook page:
