Does anyone happen to know if there's a difference between what's called "soft" and what's called "silken" tofu? Particularly between countries like the UK and US?
The reason I ask is that I've...
Unless you are very pressed for space where you live I'd recommend any vegan to buy some gluten flour online in bulk. If you buy about ten bags at once the price works out reasonable, and obviously...
I got this a while back but haven't had time to make anything from it yet.
I know it'll sound pretty dumb, but I was put off by the uninspiring layout.
I'm glad to see positive responses in...
Hmm basic black bean burgers are very tasty but don't hold their shape well...what could this mean?
Well want this.
Hope this includes some savoury pies. As a quasi-northern English male I have a mutated gene directing me towards pies of varying sorts.
Strangely, one of these recipes contained chickpea flour as its flour component, the other plain flour. The plain flour one held much better than the chickpea flour one, which I find odd because...
Anyone got this book? I think it's quite new. I got it the other day and have tried two recipes so far. They've been very good.
As someone who is useless at getting veggie burgers to hold together...
Her other book, Vegan cooking for one, is a brilliant introduction to vegan cooking, and the really handy thing is how it comes with shopping lists, weekly meal planners and quantities for one in a...
Oh and the main thing I wanted to post is that the Co-op is amazing for cheap vegan cosmetics/household products. Everything vegan and not tested on animals and standard own-brand supermarket prices....
This is a fantastic idea and I wish I had the discipline to do this. I cook all the time anyway, but it's kind of a spur of the moment thing - I'll fancy some food in the morning, buy ingredients...
Oh WOW. By complete coincidence I'll be visiting Manchester that weekend. Time for some festival appreciation.
Yeah, I get this distinction. I think it's probably quite clear to most people where food 'processing' in whatever form is to the detriment of health, which is probably the case with most faux...
To be honest I would consider any non-raw food to be processed, and my diet is a long way from raw, so the answer from me would be yes.
In a more general sense though, I'm fine with tinned (and...
97 degrees sounds about right. You want it once boiled, then wait until it stops bubbling and you're at around the right temperature. Same goes for green/white/herbal teas. For black tea you want the...
Thought I'd add a response to this. I've been experimenting with stuff in coffee for years and found it to be a nightmare.
Regarding heating the soya milk/allowing the coffee to cool, I've found...
I know this is old now, but I moved to the island at the start of the year and am vegan. If any Guernsey vegans read this and fancy meeting up for a drink and some tasty eats, let me know!
Rusholme is the curry quarter, but not necessarily the best curry.
I've had this place highly recommended to me and it's in the centre:
This and That

This explains why I haven't been able to find this for some time, damn it. I think the only other spreads I particularly liken are obscure health-food shop orientated one and the M&S one. Going to...
It's fine, but you have to take precautions - always keep it refrigerated and if it begins to spoil in any way then throw it away, spoiled rice can do nasty things to your stomach, much moreso than...
This would certainly be a marvellous addition to the world.
I think you're at a slight advantage with a vegan ice cream/desserts parlour because it's so easy to make vegan ice cream/desserts that...
I mentioned this to someone on another forum the other day, not sure how well it would work in real life.
Someone says:
'Oh, so what do you eat?'
'Well there's this huge cookbook called the...
If you're still living in Manchester I assume you're refering to Withington Health Foods that recently closed down? Unicorn in Chorlton have nutritional yeast and so to Eighth Day on the MMU campus...
Tesco are nasty, corporate scum. :D However there are of course many (myself included until I moved just over a day ago) who rely on them very much so for grubs that aren't at vastly over-inflated...
Poking fun, but very funny.

Also, don't fuck with Bjork.
To be fair I had a very lucky day with the weather. Even after I'd reached the summit(s) and I was more or less engulfed by cloud the snow was very tranquil and there was barely any wind. That was...
Mark's quick and pointless review of vegan availabilities in Manchester because he's bored

If you need a hiking buddy I'll happily oblige!
Nature is truly amazing. I love the Lake District, my spiritual home if you will. :)
Does anyone on here enhoy hillwalking? Living in Manchester I'm blessed with relatively easy access to the Peak District/Lake District and find nothing more theraputic than exiling myself to the...
Isn't it true that if a human suffocates you do actually feel a wave of euphoria as you start to pass out and your brain shuts down? Could also be true for fish, or could just be an urban legend.

I got this in the post today. Absolutely cannot WAIT to sift through some of these recipes. I'll be checking this thread out for confirmations of winnng recipes. :D
The only half decent anti-perspirant I've ever found is the Body Shop one, the co-op do a much cheaper one but it's crap, and those 'natural' deodourants don't work for me at all.
I'll definitely...
Wait a minute Cherry, you live near Penrith...?
Can I come and be your taste guinea pig after a day's glorious hiking? :D
I had no idea they'd started stocking so many new vegan products. I'll have to pay a visit. I've never even heard of that Alpro Soya Cheese.
Also, they seem to be a pain to find, but in the frozen...
Propagandhi make me touch myself. They're all vegan.
(Not really - the touching bit, not the vegan bit.)

I've considered moving to Portland in the past. If I left the country I think I'd feel stupid for moving somewhere with equally crap weather mind, so it probably won't happen!
Well, maybe for a...
This is one of my favourite ever things to do. I'm jealous that you live in Scotland!
Manchester is good for close proximity to the Peaks but the Peaks are also the shittest mountain range in the...
I've heard a rumour on the grapevine that superior vegan pizza cheese can be made by blending hard but meltable vegan cheese with vegan cream cheese and a little olive oil. I've yet to confirm or...
Aye I figured as much, I'm hoping to make it editable by the public so that if someone learns something before me it will be updated sooner. Hopefully with enough regular viewers it'll do well.
Am I the only vegan who went to Manchester from the south-east?
