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.

    Vegan pizzas?

    I'm new to dairy alternatives. Has anyone discovered a good vegan pizza? I hear that the problem with vegan cheeses is that they don't melt. I'd love to find a tasty vegan pizza, or know of a good melty cheese so that I could make my own. Or do you simply have to forgo the 'cheese' altogether?

    Good alternatives to cow's milk

    Personally, I'm not vegan, but due to digestive problems, my son has been advised to try cutting out dairy, along with wheat. One of the problems I'm having with these new dietary restrictions, is that he really misses cow's milk. I tried buying soy milk, but unfortunately it's not to his...

    Recipe Mango & Cocounut Milk Dairy Free Ice Cream

    Dairy Free Ice Cream

    Over Christmas my local supermarket started to stock a new brand of dairy free ice cream. Up until now I had been limited to their dairy free sorbets, but they now have an almond milk ice cream.

    Replacement for Dairy?

    Here's the dilemma. I love dairy. I love milk, cheese, cream of whatever in whatever. It seems like almost everything now a days is made with some kind of dairy in it. Unfortunately, I'm lactose intolerant; and the price of lactose free milk is just a bit too much. I've tried rice milk, which I...

    Free Vegan or Vegetarian Kindle eBooks (UK & USA)

    I thought I would put together a list of free vegan and vegetarian cookery books as I find them. I can't guarantee they will still be free after I post them or that they will be any good, so it is a case of getting them whilst you can, if you get my meaning. I also can't guarantee that they will...
