Chances are you or somebody you know is eating vegan. The holidays present quite a challenge if you begin to think about preparing meals and snacks that are free of milk, cheese, eggs, and meat. From New Year’s Eve to Independence Day to Cinco de Mayo to Hanukkah and Christmas, Simpson has outlined simple, no nonsense recipes that anyone can make. If you’re not already a vegan, you might think that it is not all that hard after perusing Quick & Easy Vegan Celebrations.
Whether you’re new to vegan cooking or just need to fill in some knowledge gaps, Simpson has a guide to some of the basic substitutes for non-vegan ingredients. She suggests ginger beer, kelp powder, liquid smoke, silk tofu, soba noodles and even tacks on a vegan source for spirits to name a few. Newbies would be off to the closest whole food store with a list of must-haves.
After looking at recipes for Spicy Seitan Burgers, Red Velvet Cupcakes, Shepard’s Pie, Taco Soup, Chipotle Black Bean Burgers, and Portobella Brisket, I was ready for a party at Ms. Simpson’s house. However, armed with her guidance, I think I could pull a vegan celebration off by myself!
