Vegan Effect

By McDonald, T.   |  Date 31st of January 2022 On a cold winter's night this is a great dish to turn to.  Comforting, tasty and vegan!  This is a dish that is loaded with nutrition and flavour.  Served in a ring of brown rice, topped with some vegan cheese alternative and garnished with some basil or coriander.

It has layers of aubergine, mushrooms and onion and topped with a tomato sauce and cheese. The name parmigiana suggests using Parmesan cheese, but since we are vegan, any vegan cheese will be fine.  This is a lovely dish for winter or autumn that is not heavy at all, so it goes great with potatoes.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 19th of January 2022 You have decided to join in the fun with veganuary, but you don't know where to start.  Don't worry, 'How do I be a vegan' is a common question.  First, vegans don't consume any meat, fish, dairy or eggs.  With this in mind, newbies wonder what they are going to eat.  You don't just want to eat lettuce and grass, right?  The good news is that you are living in an age of the vegan, meaning that we have plenty of meat replacements, which are sometimes called mock meats or fake meats.  When trying out a vegan diet for the first time, it may be a good idea to try the mock meats first since most people find them a great compromise. Mock meats easy the transition.
