I knew what the word 'vegetarian' meant before I could even spell it - and that's all thanks to vegetarian cookery writer, Sarah Brown. Sarah was a household name and had a TV show back in the early eighties that my mum used to watch religiously. Back then there weren't many (if any!) TV cooking shows that focused on veggie cuisine and I'm sure we have one of her cook books back home.
There's very little written about her online and I can't find any clips of her TV show so I wonder what she's been working on since then.
This is really interesting. I have ever so vague memories of Sarah and had to look her up. She does seem very familiar. No doubt my mum will be able to tell me more about her. I used to be a meat eater before becoming a pescatarian before becoming a vegetarian... and now I'm vegan. It's been a slow process getting here but I really can't see me going back to consuming animal products. As several people on here have said, it's brill that you had a show that focused on veggie food as far back as the early eighties. From what I understand, Sarah's was the first. I don't watch much TV these days (unless it's kids stuff with my little ones) so I don't know if there are any more cooking shows aimed at non-meat eaters but it would be great if they did.
