Any Vegans On Here

[mskitty]

My BIL is turning Vegan for January to raise money for Candlelighters charity. He loves his meat and more so his cheese and so it will be so hard for him.

Any recipe ideas for him? Any supermarkets better than others for choice? Any advice?

Thanks Dibbers.

I only have sweet suggestions I’m affraid.
I discovered recently that you can make vegan meringue with chickpea water instead of egg white. Sounds rank but it’s quite successful!

PETA & viva do a vegan starter kit.

Our local Sainsbury’s stocks loads of vegan Quorn and vegan Linda McCartney range. Look on the my vegan supermarket website for ideas. Loads of food stuff is “accidentally” vegan including the red bisto which I always assumed had beef in!

Google is your friend. Have a look at vegan recipe club for ideas and there’s are loads of others.

My DD has been vegan for a year and I really enjoy finding new recipes and cooking for her.

I also check menus for any restaurant or coffee shop I go on and send her a photo of vegan options. It’s getting much more mainstream so definite easier to follow a vegan diet.

The co op is one of the best for vegan food , you can find their list online.
We only have a small co op and they have loads in that one.
As others have said Veganism is much more mainstream now so much easier to find vegan food.

Me and my family are vegan, if he signs up to vegan 22 its a free sign up and you can have someone help you on line with recipes amd things you need to know. The best supermarket i find is tescos and saisnburys, but laos herons have the milk in and burgers/sausages cheaper too

He can sub cheese, milk and most meats quite easily but i find too much soy makes our stomachs bloat etc, If i fancy a pizza the goodfellas garlic bread pizza is vegan so i buy that and add my own vegan sausages, onion etc and make my own little pizza
The pulled pork burgers and the sausages i defrost and make into meatballs or pulled pork lasagne etc good luck to him though

I also loved chicken and was a cheese addict! if he finds hes finding it hard a few days/week in tell him to watch "what the health" and "earthlings" it will give him the motivation to finish it
