As part of the celebrations for LGBT+ history month at De Montfort University, Jack Monroe is preparing to talk to the students at the university later on this evening in collaboration with DMU Women and DMU Pride.
Monroe is a food writer, journalist and anti-poverty campaigner who first appeared in the public eye through the blog “A Girl Called Jack” (now renamed Cooking on a Bootstrap), and has also made appearances on national television to discuss poverty and food.
Their most recent book Veganish highlights plant-based recipes that are low-cost to make, and emphasises that even if you only incorporate a few more plant-based meals each week, the impact on the environment, as well as the cost of your weekly shop, would go down.
