Chocolate-Dipped Pumpkin Spice Lemon Pistachio Cookies for Kate Nash
A tribute to a perfect album, in the form of one incredibly delicious vegan cookie recipe
The second instalment in DEDICATED — a column devoted to creating new recipes dedicated to famous people who are vegan or who seem to be considering a vegan lifestyle. Because we care!
On July 21 2017 Kate Nash tweeted that she’s “gone vegan. Tryin it on for size.” She also stated that she had been vegetarian for about eight years but watching the film Okja on Netflix gave her the push to go to “the next level.” Since then she has regularly talked about being vegan and even lists it in her bio. I consider myself a fan of Nash but somehow completely missed this detail until just now — possibly because I’m only a very recent vegan myself and such details would not have caught my eye so specifically before. These days I love finding out about vegan celebrities with the same enthusiasm that I apply to discovering who, for example, shares my star sign. Even though it has no bearing on either of our lives — especially not theirs — for just a moment this thing that unites us can both elevate me to their level and bring them relatably down to my level. Sure, I’m a grown woman, but times are tough and brief escapism is a precious commodity.
