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 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 Celery Congee with Braised Mushrooms

    I found the recipe in theguardian.com food website and made only minor modifications to it (less salt, more garlic, ginger, miso). Adapted from Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for celery congee with braised mushrooms | The new vegan. It is the main accompaniment to a meal, so will need a protein...

    New Cookbooks

    I came across Tahini & Tumeric whilst looking for some celery recipes. A blogger in New Zealand (?) had their permission to reproduce a couple of the recipes and I was intrigued. Amazon Australia only had 1 copy left, so I bought it and another to get the free postage. (I started with this...

    Recipe Celeriac, Carrot & Fennel Bake with a Ginger & Tamarind Dressing

    I came across this recipe in one of my middle eastern cookbooks, Persepolis by Sally Butcher. I've halved the ingredients, so that it now serves 4 as a hot lunch salad. I'll give you warning now, this recipe will need a very large roasting pan. I ended up using the grill pan (UK term)...

    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...

    Water kimchi

    Finally got my water kimchi started. It's Napa cabbage, daikon, Asian pear, green onions/scallions, and garlic. The brine is water, salt and a little bit of sugar. It will ferment for 2 to 4 days at room temperature and then will go into refrigerator for about a week. We'll have it as part...

    Recipe Sholeh Zard/Sari Shilah - Persian Saffron Rice Pudding

    I have to say that this one has taken me very pleasantly by surprise. One of the writers of the 2 recipes I've combined states And they are spot on. I went back for seconds and had to stop myself there. As always I've cut back on the sugar, and I reckon it could easily be cut back again...

    Recipe Aubergines, Tomatoes and Rice

    Recipe No Bake, Tofu Chocolate Tart

    This is a special occasions "cake" that even tofu haters love. It's a no-bake cake/tart that just happens to be gluten free (if your oats are gluten free) as well as vegan. The base is for a 20cm tin (Victoria sandwich cake size). Don't worry about being too precise with the quantities for the...

    Recipe Maghluba (Palestinian Upside-down Rice)

    So with no electricity today, I've had to be more creative than usual and our evening meal is currently on the BBQ. Yep, I had to clean it first, I had to remove quite a bit of insect life that I didn't need to cook (they didn't get any further than my helpers) and no second chances if you...

    Recipe Cauliflower Rice Tabbouleh

    This recipe is based on the one in the Vegan Food & Living magazine Jan 2023 which is from Annabelle Randles from the Flexitarian.co.uk. It is vegan, it's raw hence requires no cooking, it's gluten free and it's very tasty. We've added to it and altered the quantities slightly because we...

    Recipe Vegan Chickpea "Sausage" Rolls

    I'm still working on this recipe. The first time I made it out was way too dry for my liking. I've not had chance to make it again, but I'll write it up with the changes I want to make to it, maybe tomorrow or Wednesday? I'm using a few ingredients that some will not be familiar with, pea...

    Recipe Vegan Orange Glazed Tofu

    So my first entry for a while into the ingredient challenge... It's an easy but delicious entry. There are not that many ingredients, 6 - counting the oil. I did have an orange handy so added some orange zest to the dish as well. I chose a miso that we like, no point in making it with one...

    Vegan casein & whey protein has now been made

    I know for most people/vegans this will be good news, but I'm not so certain for the obvious implications for those allergic to dairy, but it is now possible to make casein and whey protein (two of the dairy proteins) artificially so vegan cheeses will in time become much closer to dairy...

    Recipe Vegan Warrigal Greens, Sorrel & Garlic Scapes Pesto

    I have to confess there are times when I write out the title to what I've just made and know others will be thinking :scratchhead: or :o_o: and I think this might just be one of those recipes. So, I raided the veg plot. I have 3 varieties of sorrel growing in it. I used one called Sheep's...
