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

Chao cheese is made with coconut oil and tofu and it slaps. Extra firm tofu is more of a meat substitute and you can prepare it as such. A deep fried tofu cube with chili lemongrass is slappable on noodles or rice like chicken for a nice savory protein
