Neapolitan Classics: Struffoli, vegan and air fried
This Neapolitan Classic is a holiday favourite. Struffoli are little fried dumplings covered in honey, hazel nuts and festive sprinkles. They’re a typically Neapolitan sweet, also found all over southern Italy, and generally made around Christmas and New Year. In Naples, their texture will be crunchy.

Canada Goose: it’s not what you think
In the last 24 hours, the Veganverse and news media have been announcing the publicly traded jacket company, Canada Goose, is ending all use of fur on its jackets. This is simply incorrect. Is it poor reporting? Poor reading skills? I don’t know. I’m not surprised. I’m used to looking things up myself and have…
