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 Edamame toast

    This is a bit of a spin-off of avocado toast (although a bit cheaper!). It’s pretty easy to throw together (although the pickled onions take a bit of time) and will easily make enough for the week. You’ll need a food processor. Adapted from Rainbow Plant Life. Ingredients: For the spread: 1...

    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...

    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...
