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 Roasted aubergine, potatoes, Padrón peppers and caper berries

    This is essentially a simple tray bake. You could serve it as a side with grilled meat, chicken or fish or as I did, with and egg added for a vegetarian main meal/breakfast.

    Recipe Celeriac & Saffron Risotto with Sage, Caper and Lemon Oil

    I came across the recipe on The Guardian food website without saffron. Looking at the recipe whilst it was cooking, I felt the dish would benefit from the warming colour and fragrance of saffron and added it. I was correct. Don't be tempted not to make the hot vinaigrette dressing. It adds a...

    Recipe Wild Mushroom, Barley & Celeriac Soup

    This is a soup that surprised us both with how much the flavour matured overnight and improved in depth. It is also one of those soups that looks brown, in a brown broth with brown mushrooms and brown barley... aka comfort food, not photogenic food. Servings: 6 Ingredients 30g dried wood...

    Recipe Khoresh Karafs – Germez (Persian Celery & Tomato Stew with tofu)

    Traditionally, Khoresh Karafs is made using chicken, so I switched out the chicken for tofu. I'd frozen and defrosted the tofu previously (it really helps tofu absorb flavour), then drained and dried the tofu in advance. I'd recommend that you do the same, especially if you're unconvinced about...
