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

Honestly yeah I agree with this take, cook Tofu and vegan dishes how they've usually been done instead of trying to mash them into western hamburger diets. Tofu curry is fuckin' delicious, tofu scrambles can be okay if actual spices and flavoring are used, tofu used as a cheese on a mid tier grocery store veggie burger is terrible.
