Plant-based recipes and cooking techniques. Meat alternatives, getting enough protein, and making vegetables exciting. Delicious food, no animals required.
Avtoservis_inei   Making tofu actually taste good Dec 28, 2026 5:03 pm
Press it, marinate it, and cook it hot. Bland tofu is undercooked, underseasoned tofu. Treat it right and it shines.

Couldnt agree more. Wish more people understood this before jumping in.

Interesting perspective. I never thought about it that way before.

Solid advice. Been doing it the hard way for years - this is so much better.

Showed this to my study group and we all learned something. Thanks for posting!
Avtoservis_gmei   Getting enough protein on a plant diet Dec 28, 2026 3:03 pm
Beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, nuts, and whole grains. Variety covers all your amino acids. It is easier than people think.

Newbie alert: what does that abbreviation mean? Still learning the lingo here.

Just shared this thread with my friend who has the same question. Great resource!

My uncle does this for a living and he agrees 100% with what you said.
Bob Nakamura   Favorite hearty vegetarian meals Dec 28, 2026 10:03 am
Lentil shepherds pie, mushroom stroganoff, bean chili. Comfort food that happens to be meatless. Recipes inside.

I had the opposite experience actually. For me it was completely different.

Came here from a search engine and so glad I found this group. Subscribing now!
Charlie Reeves   Eating out as a vegetarian Dec 28, 2026 7:03 am
Ethnic restaurants are your friend - Indian, Thai, Ethiopian, Mexican. Most have naturally meatless dishes that are not an afterthought.

My experience: it depends on your specific situation but generally this is good advice.

The amount of free knowledge in this group is incredible. Better than any book.

Flax eggs for baking, cashew cream for richness, nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor. Most recipes adapt with a few swaps.

This is going straight into my notes. Already learned three new things today.

Disagree respectfully. In my experience the opposite is true.
Alice Hartwell Dec 25, 2026 5:03 pm
My results were slightly different but in the same ballpark. Good advice overall.
