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.
So being allergic to dairy, I have to get creative with my chocolate recipes.
This one is based on cashew nuts and does require a high speed blender, otherwise it is exceptionally simple to make. I use nice dark chocolate when I can get hold of it. A good quality one makes for a really nice...
This is a recipe I have had for 2 decades now, going by the date on the bottom of the scanned image. We love it. It is really easy, simply, warming and filling. It is easily made vegan and with the addition of more mustard to the sauce, a mustard sauce over leeks in a potato pastry is divine...
Every time I go into the city with my husband, we stop off at the café below his work place. Whilst the soya latte leaves something to be desired, they happen to sell the most delicious raw vegan salted caramel slices. So given the current CookingBites recipe challenge is chocolate, I thought...
OK - not my recipe (from the Minimalist baker) but one I am very definitely going to make. I'll start the soaking process tonight with the cashew nuts (hopefully nothing will freeze, we have a cold spell at the moment...). Then I will report back. Edit see lower for revised recipe.
I suspect...
The recipe comes from the Middle Eastern Vegetable Cookbook with a few changes to make it closer to my tastes. We served it with caramelised onion rice & polenta cakes.
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 sprigs of thyme

I happen to rather like mushrooms, but with my favourite recipes already uploaded I've had to look for others that take my interest and mushroom, rice and curry being amongst my favourite foods, a mushroom curry served over a bed of tasty wholegrain, brown rice ticks all the boxes. I like to...
Vegetarian Bamieh
A Middle Eastern vegan dish of potatoes and okra. (If you really must have meat in it, see my notes at the end of the recipe!)
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
2 large onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 ½ teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon baharat (mixed Arabic spices)
2...
Every recipe for this type of flatbread calls for raw onion inside the bread. I think this makes for a harsh bite, since the process of cooking the bread doesn't fully cook the onion inside. This is why I saute the onion first before folding it inside the dough.
Ingredients:
1⁄2 teaspoon dry...
There are a number of things that need to be observed in making the perfect tattie scone. The first is that the potatoes are floury (such as King Edwards). Waxy or salad potatoes will simply not work - you need mashers, potatoes that will disintegrate if they were to be overcooked, not...

So, what's the difference between a Staffordshire oatcake, a Derbyshire oatcake and a Scottish oatcake?
The easy one first. An oatcake to this lass, born in Glasgow and raised in the Potteries is that it is a large flat yeast and oatmeal replacement for a pancake, originally designed to...
Earthy mushrooms work so well with spices and will absorb the deep flavours. For this recipe use chunky mushrooms such as chestnut or basic white button mushrooms. Delicate chanterelles will wilt with disappointment if you try to introduce them to a robust curry.

A very simple recipe... we prefer our crumble mix to be less sweet and less fatty than most, so you may need to increase either the sugar or the oil to taste. use demerara sugar for a nice crunch to the crumble mix. we also often double everything and freeze some for later which if you have...
If rhubarb wasn't so expensive here (this recipe requires AUD $16 of rhubarb at present) I would be making this in an instant. but as it is, I can only dream until my rhubarb has established itself and I think it is going to need a new home for it to do that. but careful observation had shown...
I've had a hard time deciding on which recipes to try out for the rhubarb ingredient challenge but have finally decided on this one as one of them.
I've had to dairy free it, which veganises it as well, but it sounds good, so good that I'll have it for breakfast and evening meal whilst my...
