    Re: Vegan and fitness

    This reminds me a bit of my friend's mum who acted all spiritual and new age, but not only did she eat meat she also smoked like a chimney! She wouldn't wear sunscreen to avoid getting 'toxins' on...

    Re: vegetable Oxo cubes???

    Vegan Swiss Boullion is always a safe bet. You can get it from some supermarkets (my local Sainsburys has it, Morrissons doesn't) and health food stores.

    Re: Really Amazing Recipe Thread

    Firm tofu is what 'normal' tofu is sometimes called to differentiate it from silken. I used Cauldren original if that helps!

    Ackee is a fruit, mostly associated with Jamaica, which looks a bit...

  7. Re: A question for vegan parents - how easy have you found raising kids vegan?

    I have been thinking about this issue a lot, as my husband and I are at the stage where we are ready to have kids. He is omni, but mostly eats the vegan stuff I cook anyway. :D
    It is heartening to...
  8. Poll: Re: Do you eat more or less varied food than you did when you were eating meat &

    I have a good recipe for vegan pasties - maybe next time you could do those, then he wouldn't know until it was too late :D

    On a more sombre note, my step-cousin (if that makes sense), who is...

    I totally know what you mean. I usually start listing and then they get the idea! :rolleyes:
    One of my colleagues is an omni and only eats meat and bread, occasionally cheese. She says she just...

    Re: Stevia

    I've just been to a raw food workshop, and stevia was mentioned, although apparently it's not legal to produce commercially in the UK (not sure of the details). My raw friend uses it occaisionally,...

    Re: too little calories?

    It can be a dangerous game to start counting calories too much, particularly if you are trying to restrict yourself to under the recommended daily amount. I used to work in an inpatient facility for...

    Re: Peanut butter - how much is too much?

    One of the first things I bought was a big tub (almost a vat!) of pb when I went vegan, but my addiction is actually hummous - can't get enough. However, I'll tell you a secret PB treat if you all...

    Re: Excess tofu

    I find my scramble almost works better with frozen and thawed tofu - don't know why tho. Another option could be to bake/stir fry the leftover stuff in a bit of marinade and use it for sandwiches. ...

    Re: Your personal vegan story

    I thought I'd come at veganism from a strange direction, but reading other people's stories it seems quite common.

    Coming from a VERY omni family, I was always a little odd in that I was never a...
  17. Poll: Re: Do you eat more or less varied food than you did when you were eating meat &

    I have always enjoyed a varied diet, but going vegan stops you falling into the omni rut of piece of meat + boring boiled veg.
