Roving reporters Dawn, Luca, Morgan & Torrence bring us unsolicited vegan food reviews from Spain, Tucson, & Denver.

Luca J. Davis is a writer, web designer and long distance hiker. You will notice their review is in two parts, because it was  originally sent to me as a video text, which you can see on our instagram page, but  after hearing just the names of BEAUTIFUL tahini drink & breakfast items from Houlden’s Rise Above, I demanded more details. Which Luca sent. Via memo. 
Morgan is a baker and seed lover, and Torrence is a cat lover who was once my  very excellent roommate.
