Nowadays, there are a lot of different diets that people practice. Being vegetarian typically means avoiding eating meat and seafood, but eggs, dairy and animal by-products like honey and gelatine are usually ok. 

Being vegan, on the other hand, means taking a step further to avoid all animal-related products as well. A balanced vegan diet usually include all kinds of vegetables (different colours for different nutrients), nuts and beans for protein, and fruits. 

There are many reasons for people to opt for a vegan or vegetarian diet: religious reasons (Buddhists avoid meat and some spices), to end animal cruelty (we all have seen documentaries showing how slaughterhouses treat animals), for health reasons (such as lactose-intolerant), to be more environmental friendly (plants usually require less energy to grow than meat, and produce less pollution such as methane gases), and so on. 

At tilligetup, we respect everyone’s dietary choices and we strive to create desserts that everyone can enjoy. So whether you’re a vegan, vegetarian, or a meat eater, we hope you can all celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions with our cakes and cookies made entirely out of plant-based ingredients.
