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 Carrot Bacon

    If someone ever offers me "vegan bacon", I'll try it, but probably dread the taste. But, this is something that intrigued me immediately. There's no meat here: just carrots and seasoning. Obviously, this is fully vegan. If you close your eyes and take a bite, you'd swear...well, you'd know you...

    Vegetable curries

    It has become something of a tradition with me to have a vegetable curry on Christmas Day. Not that I celebrate Christmas, but it's something I started doing in the early 1980s and have continued ever since. I'm open to putting pretty much any vegetable into a curry. Cauliflower and broccoli...

    Recipe Tangerine Tofu with Star Anise

    Marinating tofu for a long time pays off here - the orange and anise flavours really shine through. You could substitute another green vegetable instead of the sugar snap peas. Asparagus or green beans would work. Serve over noodles or rice for a light lunch. Ingredients (serves 2) 250g firm...

    Recipe Brinjal Bhaji with Green and White Aubergines

    This is a very simple curry to make once you have made the Balti Spice Mix. You could make this with purple aubergines in which case the cooking time will be shorter. White and Thai green aubergine are more robust than the purple variety and do not disintegrate so easily. The skin on the Thai...

    Recipe Christmas Mince Pies (Vegan)

    Mincemeat isn't a 'set' recipe. Its basically dried fruits steeped in alcohol (or fruit juice) with suet and often grated apple added. Its simple enough to make it vegan by using vegetable suet which is easily available in the UK. Indeed most jars of ready-made mincemeat seem to be vegan these...

    Recipe Imam Bayildi (Stuffed Aubergines)

    Although this is normally regarded as a Turkish dish, it is eaten in Greece too, as well as being thought to be a Moorish dish originally. There are many versions of the same story as to how the dish got its name. Once there was a famous Turkish Imam who was particularly fond of aubergine...

    This warm salad is all about Autumn when these beautiful mushrooms and Jerusalem artichokes are in season.

    Recipe Roasted Garlic Hummus

    The key to this roasted garlic hummus is how you cook your chickpeas before you use them in the hummus. It's really easy to make it you have a pressure cooker and won't take very long. If you don't have one, get the chickpeas cooking before the garlic. If you do have one, get the garlic...
