Whether you've decided to try veganism for January or you're converting to a plant-based diet for good, it's tricky to know exactly what foods are off limits. <\/p>\n

Eateries also usually craft and cook food in the same space, so remember to check what surfaces your fresh pasta is coming into contact with, too.<\/p>\n
