    Ensure that all new recipes you learn are vegan. Overtime as you build confidence making vegan foods / get used to it you’ll likely veganize some of your foods.

        TIL, so thanks for that. I looked it up on wikipedia and it said “It also can be made by boiling, steaming, pressure cooking, or microwaving pulses in water.”

    Milk and butter have plenty of vegan alternatives, without much deviation from the traditional option. We use them at home without changing anything else about our diet or cooking.

      I’m not even vegan but I’ll get the vegan butter if it’s on sale. Honestly tastes the same as regular butter

      Milk is also super easy to substitute because you now find alternatives almost everywhere and also because you get used quite fast to not miss it. In my personal experience at least.

        Good choice! We use margarine, though we have to check the ingredients because some margarine will have dairy products anyways.

    I like chia seeds to replace eggs in flour-based stuff (baked goods, pancakes, etc.) One tablespoon of chia seeds soaked in 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons of water for 5 minutes replaces one egg.

    I started doing it for my cholesterol (chia seeds have a much better polyunsaturated fat ratio) but then I found I actually really like it. They work generally the same but add a little crunch without changing the flavour.

    I’m not usually eating baked goods for the vitamins, so what I’m missing from the eggs (B12, for example) I’ll get from other sources. Also, chia seeds can be kept on hand for a long time without refrigeration, so they’re a good survival food :D
