Why I'm Not Vegan Anymore
I'm passionate about a lot of high-end ingredients, but I've never been a butter snob. My own report is relatively similar only way more condense. My transformations happened over 10 days and nights instead of 10 years. I needed watch the movie Excess fat, Sick, and Practically Dead”. That motivated me to get a juicer, and watch Fork over Knives”, and read about The China Study” (although I never does read the book), which lead me to vegan type websites and other catalogs. I got totally convince. I would do a drink fast, then go totally fresh foods vegan (I never had a full organic day because I couldn't stop myself from making stir fry vegies, but I had been totally vegan for about 10 days and nights). I ran across Dave's site and dismissed anything he said that didn't match what I wanted to listen to. It's really easy to do that because there is so much crappy info out there it could be hard to recognize what could be useful.
This whole installation is complete shite. The moderators are anything but natural in this. They still harp on the old bugaboos of the potential issues of veganism while being naturally pro-paleo in the form that they believe eating meat is not only appealing but necessary. Even in proclaiming the benefits associated with veganism, they completely do a backhanded pro-paleo affirmation. The only profit to veganism is that you are eating more fruit and vegetables? How about the TONS of excess fat and cholesterol and inflammatory proteins you're ingesting with meat? How about the actual fact that getting rid of THAT can be beneficial? Biased claptrap from the moderators.
Did you know Italy has the highest ratio of vegetarians in Europe ? It really has a wealthy culinary custom of cooking without meat. It's not always no problem finding a wide selection of strictly vegan meals in an Italian restaurant, but it's a myth that pasta or risotto dishes are cheesy, buttery affairs. Now that the regional diversity of Italian food is celebrated in lots of the UK's restaurants, it's getting easier. A restaurant holding specialties from southern Italian locations will offer the most choice. Olive oil rather than cheese will season many pasta food. High, toothsome Puglian pasta forms like orecchiette are usually made without eggs - and dried out pasta, created from durum wheat, is usually vegan.
We happened to listen to about Demera from a friend, and decided to try it out. It was our second time seeking Ethiopian food, and we became addicted! The dinners are simple, wholesome, the ideal size & most significantly - tasty! The theory behind this place is the fact food is greater than a personal thing, that eating is a public activity, using your hands, touching the food, sharing with other's and eating off the same plate - there's much more to eating than just eating. Demera Ethiopian Restaurant has a number of vegan food. Try the vegan stew combo with injera and revel in a small amount of each. Oh also keep in mind to sample some delicious Tej Ethiopian mead - a honey wine flavored with an indigenous herb much like hops.
Don't forget Ricki Heller's blog. She is a chef, has a PhD in books, and creates the most beautiful wholesome recipes that can accomodate vegan, gluten free, sugar free, and even grain free. She stands out because her recipes not only replace poor versions of foods, but are better and much more creative in their own right. I have both her cookbooks, and choosing what to make is like trying to order at a restaurant when you want everything on the menu.
