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 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.

    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.

    Recipe Tabbouli/Tabouli/Tabbouleh

    Recipe Escalivada with Anchovies and Scented Onion Petals

    I came across Escalivada, which is a Spanish dish whilst searching for recipes which use peppers.

    This is super easy to make. You can use left over cooked sweet potato and other than the deep frying, there is no other cooking required for the potato balls I'm not really a fan of sweet potato, but here their sweetness is offset by ginger and chilli and a sharp dip which suits my taste...

    Roasted Carrot and Angostura Bitters Dip

    There are plenty of recipes for roasted carrot dip and that is not surprising, since roasting carrots intensifies their flavour and caramelises the natural sugars. If all you do is roast and blitz the carrots then you won't regret it. But adding the Angostura Bitters adds a lovely sour...

    Recipe Vegan Black Bean Sausages

    Research into making vegan sausages with beans suggested that here are two important factors - you need something to bind the mixture (in this case wheat gluten) and you need fat added to avoid dryness and give the sausages ‘mouth feel’.
