vegan

I have a vegan friend coming by this week and I want to serve her something nice but I am a big meat eater. I asked her for some suggestions on what she would like and she said she didn't care as long as it was 100% vegan. Please post your absolute favorite meal with a recipe (if it's not...

Anyone thinking about going vegan but you may have some fear, or doubt? I will say that going vegan is much easier than most people think. Remember its mind over matter, and it is okay to have a little fear when you start a lifestyle change. I would like to hear your thoughts on this subject.

I have tried and tried to eat less meat. I have always loved chicken and rice. So I began substituting Beans for the chicken. I prefer using Chickpeas. I live its bland type flavor. Chickpeas generally take on the flavor of the spices. I use garlic sparingly. I love the chopped onions, salt and...

I thought I would start a thread on useful vegan websites (websites that are solely vegan rather than contain a few vegan recipes or a pinch of information about the vegan diet). So just post the name and link to the vegan website you like. Vegano is the first one I will add in...

I made a chickpea pistou last night which was excellent. possibly not the 'pulse' you were thinking on but I can't see why other pulses could not be used. Ingredients 225g dried weight of chickpeas soaked overnight 8 cloves of garlic 50ml olive oil 2 onions chopped 2 large carrots chopped 2...

OK so the first things I am going to name are snacks/biscuits but if you are vegan (or like myself allergic to dairy) you will appreciate this more than others will! McVities Hobnobs, original and choc chip. For some reason the dark chocolate covered ones now contain dairy, though they didn't...

I love chickpeas and have been using a lot of gram flour (chickpea flour) recently in various dosa that I make, but I have also been looking for other options and ways to use chickpeas. Today I came across Socca (also known as Farinata, farina, fainá, torta di ceci or cecina, karantita and so...

Last Saturday at breakfast, you know that time when you are not awake enough to really remember what you did, I realised that we needed something to eat at my parents for lunch. It had to work with a regional 'dish' which we have pretty much every Saturday lunchtime if we are over at my...

Hi guys. I've been vegan on-and-off for e few years now, but I've never been able to find any good vegan cheeses. I've tried a few different brands, but I'm yet to find one I like and that actually melts. So is it actually possible to find a vegan cheese that both melts and tastes good, or am I...

I decided to have a play during the week and try out a new recipe: Sweet Miso Kale Crisps and boy are they good, despite having to change some of the ingredients over to what is available in the UK. So with the various substitutions, here is my version of the recipe. Ideally you need a...

OK - I know this is a really specialist thing but recently I have made some raw cashew nut cheese and it is really good, even my father-in-law loved it (born & bred Manchester) - but it didn't pass the mother-in-law taste test, but not much does to be honest...

OK, first of all this recipe is adapted from nomeatathlete.com's Black Bean Brownie recipe. I found their original a little too expensive, too sweet and some of the proportions, interesting to say the least. Beans It's also one of those recipes that you can mix and match with, so if you don't...
