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 Vegetarian Marinated Tofu and Edamame Stir Fry

    We are all familiar with the 4 basic food tastes - bitter, sweet, sour and salty. The Japanese have added a fifth that they call Umami. Umami translates, if I may coin a word, to savoryness. Foods that have umami share some chemicals and receptors in common. These foods are things like meat...

    Recipe Chocolate Avocado Cake

    So I found a recipe that used an avocado in a cake and was curious. I was quite surprised in a pleasant way. It's definitely an adult's cake because it doesn't have much sugar in it at, so it's very chocolatey and not particularly sweet. It's surprisingly moist and almost like a brownie. In...

    What do vegans and vegetarians think about cultured meat?

    Currently, several studies investigate people's perceptions of cultivated meat in various countries. However, there are no studies yet that emphasize the opinions of vegans and vegetarians, a group that is genuinely seeking protein alternatives beyond meat for their daily meals. In this...

    Recipe Creamy Black Garlic Sauce

    This is a simple non-dairy sauce of my own devising to maximise the flavour of black garlic. So what is black garlic? Black garlic is aged garlic. It changes over time to a sweet velvety texture that is spreadable. It loses the pungent fresh garlic taste and smell and instead takes on a...

    Vegan Nutella

    Recipe Broccoli and Tahini Soup

    You need to use a tahini that you like with this soup. There's no point in using a bitter tahini you dislike because the tahini is prominent in taste. Also this soup is great for using broccoli stems up. Just peel them if they are thick and tough. The blender will deal with most of the stem...

    Recipe Sweet Chestnut & Spinach Cannelloni

    So the cream cheese challenge. A bit of a problem when you're both dieting and watching your fat intake, particularly saturated fats. I used my Vitamix Blender for this, but if you're not dairy free, or don't have a suitable blender you could use so bought cream cheese. I had previously...

    How do you make cream cheese (including vegan)?

    [Mod.Edit: This and following few posts have moved here to form a new thread (MG)] Very much hoping to bog off some jobs and get to making that cream cheese today! Does anyone know (SatNavSaysStraightOn) what vegan milks make good cream cheese? They need to be nut free due to allergies.

    Recipe Vegan banh mi sandwich

    I really love this recipe for vegan banh mi. It does take a bit of prep time, but once everything is ready, it comes together quickly.

    Recipe Tofu baked in Peanut Butter, Yoghurt and Chilli Sauce

    I've been on the hunt for a peanut butter based sauce for tofu that didn't use soy sauce/tamari/coconut aminos which all contain high levels of sodium which I need to avoid at the moment. I came across one sauce that didn't have the above but the crispy coating for the tofu had it in it...
