vegan

Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of any product created by or obtained from any living creature.
Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. A follower of the diet or the philosophy is known as a vegan. Distinctions may be made between several categories of veganism. Dietary vegans refrain from consuming animal products, not only meat but also eggs, dairy products and other animal-derived substances. The term ethical vegan is often applied to those who not only follow a vegan diet but extend the philosophy into other areas of their lives, and oppose the use of animals for any purpose. Another term is environmental veganism, which refers to the avoidance of animal products on the premise that the industrial farming of animals is environmentally damaging and unsustainable. Interest in veganism increased in the 2010s, especially in the latter half. More vegan stores opened and vegan options became increasingly available in supermarkets and restaurants in many countries.

    Recipe Tofu and Mushroom Burgers

    This is a recipe that I am still working on. It has great potential; it is just that the firm tofu I used (extra firm, very high in protein) was too firm to work as I had imagined. I can also see no reason why 1 large flat, field mushroom could not be used. Grating the veg rather than dicing...

    Recipe Braised Mixed Mushrooms

    This recipe is meant to be made with only Lion's Mane mushrooms and if you can source enough, I would recommend trying it that way. I was only able to get 1 small container of them, so I used several other varieties as well. You will need to make up some mushroom 'dashi'. Soak 5-6 dried...

    Recipe Jerusalem artichoke, carrot & walnut soup

    It doesn’t get much simpler; three ingredients, no fine chopping, no frying. Jerusalem artichokes are a delicate affair. Their appearance belies them.

    Recipe Coconut Gram Dal

    I have a recipe book that contains meat. The only reason it survives on my shelf is that it has the most wonderful original Indian Dals in it, and most are vegetarian and easy to make dairy-free for my allergy. However, this recipe is "accidentally vegan". No pictures, because it is really...

    Recipe Chickpea Panissa Burgers

    OK, yes, I know that panissa is made from chickpea flour, but i was looking for a way of holding a mixture together and it occurred to me that chickpea flour would work. My original idea had been to use the indivigual Yorkshire pudding tins to make 4 burgers, but they were not deep enough...

    Recipe Indian tomato rasam (pepper water)

    There was a time, about 10-15 years ago, when "shots" became a favourite amuse-bouche in Caracas parties and weddings. This recipe, which is generally served as a soup, with chunks of vegetables in it, was one of those "shots". Once the soup was ready, I'd just blend it and decorate the top with...

    Recipe Vegan cheese sauce

    This is the best faux cheese sauce I've come up with after a lot of experimenting. I made a basic béchamel, with oil in place of butter, and plant milk in place of dairy milk. I made it slightly thicker than normal as there is no cheese to thicken it. Then I added the ingredients shown below...
