Help, I Need to Prepare a Vegan Meal!

Are you thinking about becoming vegan, or are you having vegans over for dinner? Probably your first question will be: “How do I prepare a vegan meal?” Well, don’t worry. It is entirely possible to have a nutritive and delicious meal without animal products.
Here are a few tips to help you out.

Try something new! I always like it to try something else. Look for recipes on the internet or in cookbooks. There are a few vegan cookbooks available, for example The New Vegan Cookbook by Lorna Sass. The stuffed eggplant is delicious! And the apple pie is not bad either. Another good cookbook, especially for beginners, is So, What Do You Eat by Liz Cook. This book also offers clear information about the nutrition vegans need.

In some countries vegetarian meals are quite common. Have dinner at an Indian, Thai or Moroccan restaurant and look what’s on the menu. This food proves that vegetarian or vegan meals don’t have to be boring and tasteless. They are actually quite the opposite!

If you are afraid to try something new, or if you’re not such a good cook, try a vegetarian version of a dish you already know. Lasagna, noodles or chili can easily be served without meat! Or replace the meat in your favorite dish by veggie burgers.

Most important: shop around to come up with ideas. Go to a large supermarket or even better… search for a biological food store where they have loads of biological and oriental food available.

Amaze yourself and others with your creative cooking skills!

Have fun,

Laura
