One of the biggest myths about vegan food is that it’s limiting, but in reality vegan cooking opens the door to an amazing amount of creativity. Being a vegetarian but not vegan myself two years back, I can say I had my own skepticisms about being a complete vegan. I’ve always loved to cook, bake, and try new recipes since a pretty young age. I’ve baked multiple cakes and pastries before I turned vegan. However, since I turned vegan baking and cooking has become more fun and purposeful! Of course it has its challenges sometimes, but I enjoy this challenge. It gives me the opportunity to explore new plant based ingredients. The trial and error that comes with it to finally finding something that actually works and tastes great makes all the effort worth it! More than the taste, vegan cooking has a powerful purpose behind it. It’s about treating every sentient being with the respect and kindness and compassion they deserve and have the right to.
