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 Whole roasted cauliflower

    I've seen loads of recipes for whole roast cauliflower but not tried making one. The result was a really tasty dish. The cauliflower is so tasty as it is not drowned in water and the spices are not overpowering. We had it with some curry one day then leftovers to accompany a roast which added a...

    Recipe Laotian Curry (recipe tester needed)

    Please note: I really need someone here to test this recipe for me! I discovered I'm intolerant of coconut milk and consequently I really can't judge if I have the taste right. My son ate the lot and said 'great Mum' but that is all the feedback I have. If someone would be kind enough to make...

    Recipe Tipsy Tarragon Tofu and Mushrooms

    Tarragon has a delicious aniseed taste which works well with delicate tofu and earthy mushrooms. The splash of Pernod in the marinade will tweak up the aniseed flavour. You need to marinade the tofu for at least a few hours to let the flavour permeate. The tofu I use is Tofoo, which doesn’t need...

    As quick as can be - this dish takes less than ten minutes to make! No chopping required. This is good served with yellow rice (Aldi’s sell a ready cooked version which takes two minutes in the microwave). I squeeze some lemon or lime juice over the rice and fork through to add flavour...

    Recipe Harvest Vegetable Stew

    Lets make the most of all those lovely root vegetables! This recipe was a simple discovery. I recently learned that chilli and fresh garden herbs make magic together.

    Recipe Vegan Cinnamon Buns

    I wasn't sure that this recipe would work. Cinnamon buns are made with enriched bread dough which normally contains an egg. I decided to take a risk and just leave it out. The butter is replaced with Tomor margarine. I have tried before to make croissants with other hard margarines but found...

    Recipe Mango, Tomato and Mint Pickle

    This is a hot, sweet and sour pickle. The mint gives a refreshing finish. You don't taste it at first but then at the end it is there. This would be good with a hot curry or with some cold cuts of meat. Ingredients (makes enough to fill a 300ml jar) 1 mango, peeled and roughly chopped 12 baby...

    Recipe Summer Squash Curry with Mint

    I've been using up the last of the summer squash given to me by a neighbour. Its a very pretty affair with green and yellow stripes and tastes similar to vegetable marrow. I've used vegetable marrow in curries before (it pairs very well with fish). Its delicate flesh absorbs flavours rather...

    Recipe Mushroom Pilau

    Perfect for Autumn and full of warm earthy flavours. It is surprisingly easy to make. I used the chanterelles as well as chestnut mushrooms because I had them and because they look so pretty but you don’t have to. I cooked them separately as they are more delicate than chestnut mushrooms and I...

    Recipe Mushroom and Chestnut Bourguignon

    This is the perfect dish for Autumn and you aren’t even going to notice you are eating vegan. I made this dish up as I went along, tasting and adjusting to extract maximum flavour. I suspect the brandy might be quite important in that respect! If you aren’t concerned about making it vegan you...

    Recipe Tabbouli/Tabouli/Tabbouleh

    No matter how you spell it, tabbouli/tabouli/tabbouleh is a tasty, refreshing side or opening to a meal. Or, do what I do and snack on it. I decided to remove the usual bulgar wheat from the recipe because of my brother's gluten intolerance, and I've found that I like it better that way. I love...
