There is no denying that healthy, sustainable and conscious eating is a growing trend worldwide and is only predicted to get bigger and more mainstream. Tammy Fry from The Fry Family Food Co. and Meat Free Mondays weighs in if 2019 will really be the year of the vegan?

In other food trend news, Bronwyn Williams from Flux Trends gives four clean (and not so clean) living treats predicted for 2019, including Marijuana for moms and the rise of 'dry bars'. Counter to the vegetarian/vegan movement is the growing popularity of shisa nyama spots in South Africa. We bring you 11 of the best in Cape Town, Joburg and Durban.

And still on foodie trend I report back on the first ever Womxn in Food - FOOD XX Awards & Symposium.
