I’m sorry but tofu is not cheese nor does it taste anything like it, vegan cookbooks need to be better. Stop massacring time honored dishes with uncreative replacement ingredients (hexbear.net)

You can’t just replace paneer with tofu and call a dish palak paneer you twat. Like replacing black beans with lentils and calling it black bean soup IT’S NOT THE SAME AND DOESN’T TASTE THE SAME.

I swear half the reason people hate veganism is the fucking half assed garbage cooking content put out by vegan incluencers.

‘Hi today I’m going to make a yummy vegan grilled cheese sandwich but instead of cheese I’m GOING TO USE FUCKING ELMER’S GLUE’ And This doesn’t just go for cheese

There's vegan cheese that is actually good but I'm not paying $15 for an 8 oz packet.

I don't know how they turn cashews into a bomb ass pepperjack, but it's spendy enough to be a Sometimes Treat.

Here's how

However, cashews themselves are really expensive as well. It is fun to make and you do get a good yield from a mid sized sack of cashews

These days I assume cheese costs about that much anyway lol

I was looking at vegan burger patties (because I am trash and love to eat trash) and I got curious, they were ten cents more expensive than the equivalent beef patties 🤣

Dairy cheese is much cheaper, at least where I live. I should probably get back on using protein powder in the morning because even after being at least vegetarian for a couple decades I struggle with working in enough without plant based burgers and other mock meats. I would make my own sometimes but it's usually like a hour or two to make a batch and the kitchen would be thrashed.

Black bean patties slap way more than beyond stuff imo

Yeah I might take a swing at making veggie patties again, the place where I get most of my groceries stopped selling Impossible burger and I'm too lazy to find it somewhere else that doesn't have eye watering prices.
