and live on Freeview channel 276
Henry Firth and Ian Theasby – who met at High Storrs School and go by the name BOSH! – first gained popularity with their online videos that put a plant-based spin on everyday recipes that would normally rely on meat and dairy.
The pair, who share a home in London, are now launching a live ‘cookalong’ broadcast that will be streamed live on their YouTube channel every weeknight in April.

"Meat, eggs and dairy can be tricky to get hold of at the moment - so let us introduce you to some amazing, easy, insanely tasty dishes, that are all made from plants,” said Henry and Ian, describing the recipes as ‘brilliant new ideas you can add to your weekly menus’.
“From our kitchen to yours, we hope to see you cooking along with us.”
They were both converted to veganism in 2015 after watching Kip Andersen's documentary Cowspiracy, which argues that animal agriculture is destroying the environment.

Their fourth book, Healthy Vegan, came out in December – a month later their debut television series, Living On The Veg, started on ITV. The programme was commissioned for 10 one-hour episodes in which they were joined by guests such as Sadie Frost and Prue Leith in their on-screen kitchen.
"I think people are a lot more conscious of what they are putting inside themselves," Ian told The Star last year. "The conversation around plant-based food has got really loud of late, and our recipes are the sort that appeal to everybody."
