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

skill issue? shrug-outta-hecks

also for FODMAPs certain kinds of tofu are fine but others are worse, if you are curious. firm is better for the gut, and the firmer the better. i have a friend that talks my ear off about this shit, its very interesting, i fully recommend everyone look into it to learn more about how food interacts with your stomach. a slight change in diet along these guidelines can make you feel so much healthier, even if you dont have food issues.
