Vegan Recipes

A vegan diet excludes all animal-derived ingredients, no meat, dairy, eggs, honey, or seafood. Vegans rely on plant‑based foods like grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. The lifestyle may also extend beyond food to exclude animal products in clothing and cosmetics.

Vegans use aquafaba (chickpea water), ground flax or chia “eggs,” mashed bananas, applesauce, silken tofu, or commercial egg replacers. Each substitute mimics egg properties differently, binding, leavening, or moisture retention, depending on the recipe’s needs. What is the difference between a vegan and a vegetarian?
