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 Mujadara with Charred Cabbage

    Mudjadara* is a lovely comfort food from the Middle-East. It reminds me of Indian Kitchiri which is claimed to be the origin of British Kedgeree.

    Hearts of Palm

    Have you ever eaten hearts of palm? They are one of my favourite vegetables - I've only ever found them in tins in the UK. Like this: I'm not sure if they can be obtained as a fresh ingredient. I'd be interested to hear how people use them.

    Recipe Moroccan Stew

    First, I'd like to address the green elephant in the kitchen: I know that asparagus isn't something that's typically a part of Moroccan cuisine.
