TLDR: I am looking for more diverse non-meat options than your average restaurant or supermarket provides. Because they don’t quite work for me as well as I’d like.
I am not a picky eater, I enjoy vegan food and non-vegan food alike. I’ve noticed most “vegan” advertised products are just meat imitations that taste like seasoned cardboard.
Too darn often do I see cooks and stores trying to replace the visuals of meat, rather than finding something that tastes satisfying in it’s own way. I’d be eating more vegan food if the options available had a similar convenience and filled me up properly.
Which may sound stupid, but I’ve tried going vegan and I did not feel great. I guess beans and tofu are not for me. Now I realise I may sound like an uninformed dingus who doesn’t know how to find decent ingredients and recipes… That’s because I am.
But I would really like to find some options that work for me. And I’m fine with trying 20 things over the course of a month and deciding only a few work for me.
Does anyone here have any advice?
I would like to recommend the recipes by Christina Souteriou. I’ve been following her online for a while and she just published her first book called “Big Veg Energy”. I cooked probably 10-15 of her recipes so far and they were all great. I think it might be exactly what you’re looking for.
I’ll have a look! Thank you!
