The Vegan Guide: Everything you need to embrace the world’s fastest growing way of life Alex Bourke invites us on a guided tour, looking back at the last 25 years of the ‘Vegetarian – and now Vegan – Guides’ that Alex has produced, including his most recent book ‘The Vegan Guide’ released in 2021.

Vegetarian Guides: The Beginning My first book was the 16-page The Hippy Cookbook that I launched at the International Vegan Festival in East Anglia in 1992. At that time I was living and working in Paris, so the following year produced The Vegan Guide to Paris, a whopping 32 pages containing 20 vegetarian and vegan restaurants and lots of shops. At 1993’s International Vegan Festival in Spain, I then gave a workshop on how that book was produced, and the following year people who were at the festival brought out similar vegan guides to Amsterdam, Berlin, Edinburgh, Melbourne, Munich and New York.
