And you won’t feel like
you’ve made that much of
a difference but you have
because what you’re essentially
doing is boycotting
other butters and margarines
that have animal products
in and the more people
who boycott those, the less
likely they are to continue to
manufacture them and exploit
animals and therefore
adopt vegan ingredients.
And then milks you know,
you got hemp milk, rice milk,
almond milk, soya milk, oat
milk, cashew milk, but you
want cows titty milk…?! I
mean, listen, I would say
the best thing for you to do
would be to find one of them
that you like, my personal
favourite is Oatly Barista. I
have it in everything.
And then when I have more
porridge, I have soya milk
because it’s got a natural
taste and a natural sweetener
in it, which just tastes
delicious. And it’s nice and
creamy.
And then just take your
time discovering new things
to cook - and I said this on
VegfestUK Chat …. teach
yourself one vegan meal
every single Monday, or
whatever day you pick.
Choose one vegan meal
that you’re going to learn to
cook once a week and by
the end of the year you have
52 different things on your
menu and you can literally
eat and pick and choose
one of those for the rest of
your life every single day.
You will never get bored
because 52 different dishes
to cook is a lot of choices.
I don’t think people usually
learn to cook more than
10 things. And being a vegan
would be a doddle after
that!
Also learn to use seasoning
as well… I don’t know what
it is with predominantly
white Western culture, but
we think seasoning is salt
and pepper. It’s not! It can
be paprika, onion powders
and garlic powders, herbs
and spices. Turmeric, curry
powders and it just makes
food so much more exciting.
Also go on social media and
start looking at people that
are vegan and start looking
at people that are teaching
how to cook new vegan
things, and suddenly it’ll
just become more exciting.
