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.

    Vegan Nutella

    I was interested to read that dairy free version of Nutella is soon to be launched in Europe. It is one of the things I've missed not being able to eat dairy. Fererro Roche are another! Vegan Nutella spread is launching in Europe this year - here's what we know so far

    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. I like to make the pickled veggies and marinate the tofu on the weekend, and then during the week I pull out a couple slabs of tofu at a time and pan-fry them...

    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...

    Recipe Sweet Chilli Tofu with Basmati Rice

    My preference is to use previously frozen extra firm tofu, that's been defrosted and well drained. I find that the structure of tofu changes after freezing and you can get a lot more liquid out of the tofu. I also find it easier to throw the cubed tofu into my airfryer to crisp up. If you don't...

    Recipe Lazy vegan stovetop mac and “cheese”

    This recipe is almost embarrassingly easy - it’s hardly even a real recipe, but it’s become one of my go-to for a quick, simple, vegan lunch that uses ingredients I almost always have on hand. Ingredients: 1 cup dry pasta (I usually use fusilli or whatever I’ve got on hand) 2 tbsp nutritional...

    Recipe Vegan Spam Musubi

    Apparently, so I'm informed, this is a great snack for when you're craving something savoury without the mystery meat content of SPAM. Honestly, I've no idea if it is or not, I've never had spam or anything even vaguely similar. The tofu was salty, the rice was slightly sweet and i think my...

    Recipe Vanilla & Strawberry Mayonnaise Fairy/Cup Cakes

    You must have guessed it was coming? Yeah, I know. I need more practice. The batter was a tad to thick by about 25-50ml of soy milk. But the sponge is deliciously light and fluffy. So.... this makes 12 (ish) I used the bung it all in the food processor approach.... the mayonnaise was the...

    Recipe Egg-free Mayonnaise

    So after my hubby came home with smoky vegan mayo instead of vegan mayonnaise, I was left needing to improvise and find up ways of using the stuff he bought. So first steps first. An egg-free mayonnaise. This has actually meant I've needed to get out my immersion blender. It also meant I've...

    Recipe Vegan “crab” cakes

    I’m always looking for fun vegan recipes to try, and I really like this one! Artichokes are used in place of crab. If you have a shellfish allergy, this is also a good way to get something similar to a crab cake. I will often make a batch of the patty mixture, toss it in the fridge, and then...
