    I am not vegan or vegetarian but have made this before and it was tasty! http://minimalistbaker.com/bbq-jackfruit-sandwiches-with-avocado-slaw/

    This is an incredible recipe and goes down really well in our house (I'm a vegan the rest are omni's)
    The Minimalist Baker is one of my favourite cookbooks..

    I know many vegan and vegetarians...they are some of the nicest and most caring people on the planet. I hate when people generalize.

    I cook vegetarian and vegan frequently...probably a bit less since I started working out...but then I just make a meat protein on the side. I never put meat with vegetables...and rarely with the starch/grain...so it is not a challenge.

    Maybe if I change my mind on the use or protein shakes (working for healthcare manufactures, I just don't trust them...), then I could move back to less meat.

    Have a look at Huel.. https://huel.com/

    You can eat anything you ate as a meat eater. You just need to learn to substitute eg. Sub mince meat for lentils, chicken for tofu, chia seeds instead of eggs.
    Feel free to add me, my diary is open and I'm a vegan.

    I go vegan twice a year, and substitution is pretty easy in most conventional recipes. In addition to those listed above, butter=margarine or coconut oil (or any oil if a solid fat is not needed), milk=some nut or soy milk (I don't like them, but you might), cream=coconut cream, in some recipes meaty mushrooms work well instead of chunk meat, cheese sauce for casseroles and dips= this recipe.

    You can take almost any recipe and remove/substitute some items to turn it vegan.

    Just curious...why even bother to 'go' vegan when it's done twice only in one year. Why do you do this?

    For Christmas and Easter fasts (lent). My family upholds a 48 day animal product fast before each for a total of 96 days a year.
