Polynesian rice, Fijian corn-tamarind balls and Tongan Kumara with Coconut Caramel Sauce – South Pacific Island cuisine can offer an abundance of different and delightful flavours. Discover delectable treats like Suafa’i (banana pudding), Panikeke (Samoan doughnuts) or Tongan Watermelon Otai (watermelon and coconut drink).

Packed full of grilled veggies, spicy beans, fresh herbs and hot salsas, Mexican food offers endless options! Burritos, tacos, nachos, black bean soup, fajitas, quesadillas, enchiladas – and don’t forget margaritas! Ask for vegan cheese and extra veggies, salsa and guacamole on the side!

A cuisine full of possibilities. Try a tabouleh salad topped with smoky eggplant baba ghanoush or protein-packed hummus or tahini dressing. Falafel makes for the perfect, healthy meat substitute. Stuffed vine leaves are a must-try, and to satisfy your sweet tooth grab some baklava or Turkish delight (usually animal-friendly, but it’s worth double checking).

A favourite of many, vegans included! Enjoy veggie pizzas with dairy-free mozzarella, cashew-cream pasta or mushroom risotto, and even garlic bread and gelato. Creating plant-based versions of Italian classics can be fun, easy and extremely rewarding for the taste buds!

Traditionally, Chinese food is largely plant based. Enjoy a wide range of veggie dishes, from spring rolls, dumplings and sesame noodles to salads flavoured with garlic and ginger or tamari sauce. You'll also find vegetable-packed stir-fries, fried rice (just hold the egg) and various noodle dishes – and you can usually add tofu or nuts for extra protein.

With 40% of the country’s population living meat free, it's no wonder that Indian food has the widest variety of animal-friendly options. Order curries, dhal, dosa, sambar or uttapham. Don't forget the chutney! Be aware that some dishes may contain curd (yoghurt) or ghee (clarified butter), so just ask to be sure. Chapatti or roti can almost always be made dairy free.

Most famous for sushi, Japan offers a surprising number of plant-based options. Try maki rolls, miso or the various tofu or vegetable dishes. Note that dashi (a Japanese soup stock) contains a fish extract called bonito, so it's best to check that this is left out.

Think spiced roast veggies, slow-roasted chickpea tagine, veggie-filled souvlakis, couscous, fresh salads topped with roasted nuts and fresh herbs – Moroccan cuisine is full of wholefood goodness, seasoned to perfection!
