Let’s make a delicious difference
Kia ora and welcome.
My aim is to help more people choose plant-based meals more often - for people, planet and animals.
I’ve loved animals since I was a child, been concerned about the environment since my uni days, and always been a creative cook.
In my late 30s I realised what a huge positive impact a vegan lifestyle could have on things I care about. Things like: a liveable planet, treating humans and other animals with kindness, sharing resources fairly.
It’s frustrating that so many people dismiss veganism as an extreme or masochistic choice. But at the same time, I fully understand how challenging the idea of change can be.
So I’m here, hoping to help make that change less challenging! It’s why I founded Angel Food, Aotearoa New Zealand’s first vegan cheese company in 2006. (Products currently available in NZ but sooooon in Australia!)
It’s also why I published my book ‘Cheese Matters: to kind people’ in 2025.

Hey, buy my book!
Please note, price includes postage anywhere in the world.
What on earth would convince a cheese lover to stop eating cheese? In this book Alice Shopland examines her family history and the random series of events and connections that led her to embrace a vegan lifestyle in 2004 and then, two years, later to establish New Zealand’s first vegan cheese company.
She writes ardently but with compassion, honesty and a good dose of humour.
