Eat well, live kindly: discover Chickpea magazine
Chickpea magazine is from over the border, but does everything right! There are no ads (this is all about recipes and a sustainable lifestyle). Not recommending endless plastic-wrapped brands.
Managed by a small team of dedicated writers, each issue has a theme. All the pages are packed with quality articles, recipes and photography.
The focus is on wholefood recipes, and the staff are helped by a rotating crew of freelances (images are from independent artists – not stock photography).
You could pair up with others to order issues by post (to cover postage). Or of course digital issues won’t cost you any more than US readers.
- Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets.
- Before recycling cans, rinse then remove lids (pop ring-pulls over holes). Then step on upper cans to ‘pinch’ inner rims together, to avoid wildlife getting trapped.
- Unless you have a food waste bin, bin pepper and allium scraps (onion, leeks, garlic, shallots, chives) and citrus/tomato/rhubarb scraps, as acids could harm compost creatures.

Are there vegan magazines in England?
Yes, and they’re not bad. It’s just that most are packed with ads, rather than wholesome recipes. And if you do buy them, subscribe online as most cost a fortune for single issues off the shelf.
For anyone curious about vegan food, plant-based living and making more thoughtful everyday choices, Chickpea Magazine offers a refreshing source of inspiration. More than simply a collection of recipes, the magazine celebrates the creativity, colour and possibilities of vegan living, showing that choosing a plant-based lifestyle can be enjoyable, beautiful and full of variety.
