PAWS

Hey I'm Ben and new to being a vegetarian.

Just wondering where I can look for vegetarian/vegan shops, supermarkets. Are there any in Perth.

Also does anyone know where I can find food recipes that are cheap and quick?

Does anyone have any recipe suggestions.

Thanks.
Ben.

Hey Ben,
PAWS itself (112-114 Beaufort st, Northbridge) is a great resource, mostly for vegan and allergy-friendly foods, and any of the 'staff' can help with any questions you might have, either by answering them or pointing you in the right direction.

It sucks being a veg*n alone, and networking is a great way to get educated and start to feel comfortable with your new lifestyle.

You might find Friday nights or the Saturday market day at PAWS are a good way to get to know the regulars and other vegetarians and vegans. On Friday food is served between 7 and 9 pm, and on Saturdays there's an organic grower's market and lunch is usually served around 12.30pm

For recipes, check out The Vegetarian Society's Easy Recipes for New Vegetarians and PETA's vegetarian starter kit (until PAWS' gets published...!)

Hey thanks for posting that very useful information. I live in the city so PAWS is not that close from where I live. I will be sure to pop in their and have a look. Do they have a good food selection? The market sounds wonderful. Will check it out.

Thanks heaps!
