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.

    Roasted Carrot and Angostura Bitters Dip

    There are plenty of recipes for roasted carrot dip and that is not surprising, since roasting carrots intensifies their flavour and caramelises the natural sugars. If all you do is roast and blitz the carrots then you won't regret it. But adding the Angostura Bitters adds a lovely sour...

    Recipe Vegan Black Bean Sausages

    Research into making vegan sausages with beans suggested that here are two important factors - you need something to bind the mixture (in this case wheat gluten) and you need fat added to avoid dryness and give the sausages ‘mouth feel’. The third thing you need to do is pack in flavour so don't...

    Recipe Vegan Chicken Kiev

    I've not had chance to try this recipe but it has been inspired by this post by Long Player Kitchen where they have created Vegan Chicken Kiev. I rather liked the use of cashew nuts to create the creamy sauce for the middle of the Kievs. I also like the use of rice paper to hold the Kiev...

    Recipe Vegan 'Parmesan'

    A month ago I wouldn't have even thought about looking for recipes for vegan 'parmesan' - but my son has turned vegan so I'm looking for substitutes for lots of things. This recipe is from The Minimalist Baker website. She notes: "This is not my original recipe, but one I learned from other...

    Going Vegan

    I came back from a short break a few days ago to discover that my youngest son (age 27) who lives here has decided to become vegan. My youngest daughter (29) who also lives here is a pescatarian - that is, she is vegetarian but eats fish. She also eats eggs and dairy. My partner will eat most...

    Recipe Vegistan based Falafel

    This is the recipe I will be using for my falafel 2nd round attempt. I liked the basic original recipe but it didn't have enough punch for my husband and my tastes, so I have adapted it. I've yet to find an online version of the Vegistan recipe so can't credit it. Ingredients 150g dried...

    Recipe Potato, Pea and Dill Patties

    This is barely a recipe at all! But it is so delicious. Dill is the key to this humble dish. You can make this from leftovers, as I did. Its akin to 'bubble and squeak' but perhaps a little more elegant? It could be served as a starter with a yoghurt and mint sauce or as I did, as part of a...

    Recipe Chocolate Cashew nut cream

    So being allergic to dairy, I have to get creative with my chocolate recipes. This one is based on cashew nuts and does require a high speed blender, otherwise it is exceptionally simple to make. I use nice dark chocolate when I can get hold of it. A good quality one makes for a really nice...
