Vegan Options in Genoa
Following on from my post yesterday about the vegan snacks I snagged in Genoa, I wanted to share news of a plant-based restaurant meal I enjoyed last night.

Sometimes I like to take a stroll through supermarkets, even when I don’t need anything, just to take a look at the vegan products. This is something I particularly love to do on vacation.

Here are 10 that caught my eye.
