Organic Cooking for Vegans
Living a vegan lifestyle means eating foods that are not from an animal in any way. This obviously includes meat and fish. But also products made from animals such as eggs, milk, cheese, butter etc.
In vegan cakes, fat can be provided by organically produced oils, avocado, nut butters and even sweet potatoes, apple sauce or bananas.
There is a little known replacement known as aquafaba. This is the liquid that most people throw away when using a tin of organic chickpeas. To use it you simply whisk it with your food mixer.
You can make cheese from nuts such as cashews, almonds and even hemp. Many of the recipes online include nutritional yeast. This can be bought in health food stores and is in the form of dried flakes.
There are meat substitutes that are widely available. These include ‘beef’ mince, ‘chicken’ breasts, sausages, bacon and even fake ‘fish’. These can be found organically.
There are many other organic milk alternatives available in all supermarkets. Many of these are made from nuts and are delicious. Some are even really creamy so you can enjoy your barista-style coffee.
