Tuscan Vegan Food Tour | Plant-Based Cuisine in Italy

Link to the show notes

Hi everyone, and welcome back to the World Vegan Travel Podcast!

We’re doing something a little different today. As you might know, we’re currently on a short break between new interviews—but we didn’t want to leave your ears empty! So today, we’re sharing a very special episode from our friend and partner Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, the host of the long-running Food for Thought podcast.

Colleen is an incredible voice in the plant-based world—she’s an author, educator, and passionate advocate for compassionate living. Many of you will already know her from our Joyful Vegan Trips, where she hosts unforgettable journeys in places like Rwanda, Tuscany, and Alsace. We’re so grateful to her for allowing us to share this episode with you.

In this episode, Colleen takes us on a flavorful journey through Tuscany that was first published on her podcast feed some time ago. You’ll hear about the regional food culture, the ingredients that define Tuscan cuisine, and what makes this part of Italy so beloved—not just for its scenery but for its soul-warming food. It’s the perfect mix of history, storytelling, and food appreciation—all through a plant-based lens.

Make sure to follow Colleen’s Food for Thought podcast wherever you listen, and subscribe to her Substack at colleenpatrickgoudreau.substack.com for thoughtful reflections, recipes, and more.

🎙️ And if you’re dreaming of visiting Tuscany yourself, we’ve got great news—our 2026 Tuscany trip is open for booking!
