I am new to this circle (and to Ovarit). Nice meeting you all :-)
I went vegan a year ago. Mainly because I did not want to participate in animal cruelty anymore. I have been trying to adopt vegan diet with lots of raw veg. But I am a crap cook. Really clumsy in the kitchen . . . Cooking is often a struggle for me.
I have bought this vegan cookbook as a Christmas gift for myself. I love it, the recipes are not too complicated, my level really. So, I have a task cut out for the coming year - learn to prepare nice vegan meals.
I will be sharing my vegan kitchen adventures here with you.
Oh, I love not complicated recipes as well. I will be looming forward to hear all about your kitchen adventures)
Check out budgetbytes.com and search the vegetarian/vegan sections. The recipes often have visual "how-to's" and it's very helpful!
I am subscribed to a a community on Russian social network which is called low-budget vegan survival, but I'll check your website as well! Thank you!
It's gonna be a lot of burned, undercooked and over-salted meals, so yes, please stay tuned :-)
Just don't be harsh on yourself) Amd the salt tging is quite easy - I always add less, when I am not sure, you can always add more, when it's done
Also, with vegan food, I have found that undersalting is more common than oversalting. Best cooking advice I have is to taste as you go. <3
I have been putting too much salt recently which really spoilt dishes, I invested time and effort into. I just don't have what it takes to cook edidble foods. So I am hoping my new cookbook will help me start cooking food, people can actually eat.
I will start practicing - "taste as I go" method!
I really recommend the Clean Food, Dirty Girl meal plans if you're WFPB. They're amazing!
Good luck! It's a total process but I think vegan/vegetarian cooking is best for a beginner because you don't have to worry about giving yourself salmonella or undercooking meats.
It was a struggle for me to learn to cook but I loooove cooking now. It feels good to nourish yourself with food you love instead of just tolerate.
I am hoping too - to come to learn cooking.
