Part 1: Soups & Starters.

Highlights from a live webcast we did on 25 May 2009 on http://www.blogtv.com/people/benloka. During the show, we let viewers decide what we cooked, here is the result!

We did it for two reasons:

1. To promote awareness for National Vegetarian Week
2. To raise money for the Ahimsa ‘Cruelty-free milk’ campaign which seeks to vastly improve the lives of cows. To see a real change in the current system, please support this worthy cause by donating at http://www.justgiving.com/thelotustrust/donate
