Wow - that's a lot of recipes! whoever said vegan eating was restrictive!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this Izzy - you`re a star!
Hahah. I didn't put together the whole list but I thought it was worth sharing. I like to say that veganism is only restrictive if you make it restrictive.
DeleteAmazing! Thank you. I try to eat vegan as often as possible, but a lot of things are really expensive..and I really love bread..can you give an advice what to eat on bread? Normally I eat butter, cheese, chocolate spread, hummus or avocado. But i havent got cheap alternatives to cheese or chocolate spread
ReplyDeleteI love bread as well!! Some tips are hummus (make home made mhumms and add different flavourings such as sun dried tomatoe hummus or garlic hummus) or make your own garlic butter/margarine, peanut butter and jam, home made nut butter, tahini (or home made tahini), guacamole, make your own cashew cheese/cashew cream cheese.. Or just top with margarine and lots of veggies!!
DeleteThanks so much for this list!!! I'm going to have to start at the top and work my way down so I can try all of the recipes :) I'm celiac as well, so I'm used to getting creative with my cooking and baking.
ReplyDeleteI love experimenting with vegan recipes (just no coconut milk!! I've never liked the taste of coconut haha). At the moment, I'm 100% vegetarian, and slowly using up my other animal based products so I can commit to veganism! You're such a huge inspiration :)
