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 Vanilla & Raspberry Polenta Porridge

    This is one of my combinations that I like for breakfast. It doesn't need much in the way of polenta for a single person, and usually I manage to make way too much tbh.

    Recipe Spicy Sweet Potato, Potato, Tomato and Pea Pie

    This is an adaption of the Indian Potato Pie which we found to be OK but lacked spiciness and to some extent flavour for our tastes, so yesterday I made a variation with the addition of many more spices and tomatoes. I also prefer to use whole potatoes and adapt, rather than say a specific...

    Recipe Vegan Sweet Potato and Ginger Soup

    Recipe Apricot Upside Down Cake

    I came across this recipe for apricots and recon that if you can't get fresh apricots, you could use any other fresh fruit that is similar or perhaps even soak dried apricots to get it to work. I may try it next week with soaked dried apricots as a treat. Not that I actually deserve one...

    Recipe Courgette Koftas in a Coconut Tomato Sauce

    This morning I was thinking about the new courgette ingredient challenge and what I could enter for it.

    Recipe Balsamic Caramelised Onion Hummus

    We get through a lot of hummus in this household. If it is not hummus, it is often mashed chickpeas with a touch of oil and tahini added, not enough to class as hummus and not mashed enough to even be classed as chunky but just enough to hold the mixture together. So given we always purchase...
