Karin Ridgers
Veggie Vision - Entertaining Internet TV- Veggie Style
Hailed as the one of the most well known vegans in the UK , Karin Ridgers passion for promoting everything vegan plays a huge part of her life. Karin, a former director of The Vegan Society, award winner from Viva!, and a main media contact for the Vegetarian Society, bubbly Karin’s infectious personality and dedication has led her to run VeggieVision.com the internet TV station. Karin has been a friend of the Lotus for years now, and she hosts our 7 Minute Chef Videos on her site.
The future is exciting for VeggieVision. In the pipeline there are entertaining mini programs, writers who are working on comedy sketches and cartoons and there are new channels including the Travel Channel and the Education Channel which will be promoted to schools.
The VeggieVision team is liaising with lots of companies to bring in high value competition prizes including holidays, as well as more celebrity interviews and input from “regular” vegans and vegetarians too.
"The feedback has been amazing" Karin mentions. " People in other countries have been in touch. Some do not know any other vegans and have emailed us to say they no longer feel alone. Other people include a lapsed vegan who went back to being vegan and a ‘lazy’ vegetarian’ who was inspired to get active - both after watching VeggieVision. So when I am working till 2am on VeggieVision I think of this and its all worthwhile!”

Give thanks to everyone who participated in our first annual
Earth Dinner Benefit held on
Tuesday, April 22nd at Blossoming Lotus, Kaua'i. A special thanks to Lotus co-owner Gia Baiocchi for facilitating the event and bringing the community together in a celebration of sustainability.
A Prix Fix dinner prepared by Chef Patrick Bremser featured a menu of local and organically grown food including fresh Kaua'i Coconut Water, Arugula and Wasabi Greens Salad with Roasted Baby Beets and a Rosemary Creme Vinaigrette, Melted Leek Wrapped Tempeh with Roasted Garlic Greens, Taro Mash and Taro Greens Puree. We were also treated to a sensational dessert of Spiced Carrot Compote and Coconut Creme Napoleon with Crispy Carrots.
The evening included two hours of live EDUTAINMENT (that's what we call educational entertainment), live music by local musicians including Toni Childs, hula, spoken word poetry and educational speakers. We learned about earth-based issues & on-going community projects on Kaua'i.
A portion of the proceeds went to benefit the 'Cultivating Community Support for Food Sovereignty' movement and the 'Community & School Gardens Project'.
