Cooking Vegan

kia_runs

Hello all, newbie here. Almost vegan. I can't get away from cheese..that's another blog post.

I have found that many of the great tasting vegan recipes are time-consuming. Lots of chopping and all, some call for ingredients that I don't use regularly like sauerkraut, cashews, miso and some one off spices. Any websites that have minimal ingredients and prep work?
Thanks in advance.

I really like The Vegan Stoner for easy recipes that don't take a lot of prep work. The Vegan 8 has recipes that are all eight ingredients or less and they're vegan, gluten-free, and oil-free, although I haven't tried any of their recipes.

Definitely check out the minimalist baker - vegan, a ton of gluten-free, and all for either fewer than five ingredients or less than 30 minutes to make.

You mentioned cheese-- that was the hardest for me, so I have to give my two cents! Vegan cheese is not known for its flavor, but I recently discovered Chao slices, which are made from coconut milk and aged like regular cheese (they consulted cheese experts). It's the best I've found taste/texture-wise, but it's still kind of expensive. I also use Daiya shreds (only pepper jack flavor tastes good to me) in tofu scramble or on pizza, and regularly use nutritional yeast for cheesy sauces.

Chao slices are the jam!

I will try it. I love cheese and crackers and cheese grits. Thanks @xomakaxo and the cosign @Sarah0003
