Also thanks Cella.Now, white miso paste. Never even heard of it. I have some other miso. Where can I get white miso? It seems to be in a lot of the How Not To Die recipes.

theron Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Engevita Yeast Flakes have been our saviour since going vegan.

mariajoyofcleaning Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Fresh turmeric: you can ask the veggies shops in Lordship Lane, somebody surely has it as I found it few years ago but I can't remember exactly which one. Chickpeas (legume) are a very good source of proteins too btw, and also (roasted / dried) a delicious snack to alternate with walnuts, pistachios or other nuts.Maria Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/228586-anyone-on-a-plant-based-diet/page/2/#findComment-1348377 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most boiled veggies can be mashed together in interesting combinations with and without beans/pulses then shaped into cakes and fried or grilled. Don't forget sweet potatoes, yam, cassava (yuca) and taro. And aubergines and mushrooms. Most fruits can be roasted or grilled and included in a veggie meal, too; plantain, apples, apricots, plums, etc. Nuts. Dried fruits. The possibilities are endless ? no fancy cookbooks required.

KateS Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Madhur Jaffrey's cookbook Eastern Vegetarian Cooking is really good, I have an old copy that I use for a lot of inspiration when I'm like, what the heck should I do with this brocolli/cabbage/bag of carrots???I think you can get fresh turmeric from Village Grocer on Bellenden Rd (the one that used to be called Payless).

malumbu Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 What on earth is a plant based diet? Who on earth coined this phrase??I decided not to eat meat, fish and sea food a long time ago. That is a choice. Do I hate labels.PS Linda Mc stuff in dreadful. And Quorn - a distant relative of athletes' foot, has changed its constituents, for the worse, in recent times. No excuse for loading it with salt.
