As someone that's trying to become vegan, I've stopped eating red meat since about 2018 and I've been trying to cook with more veggies and tofu.

I'm an amatuer when it comes to cooking but I'm slowly gaining traction, the one thing I'd like to improve on is replacing butter with a vegan option if there is any so I thought I might as well ask here if that's alright🤗

Your version will wind up being softer (even cold, olive oil doesn't harden as firmly as coconut), and olive oil is also a stronger flavor. Enjoy experimenting though - substitutions are a big part of learning to cook well, and so many recipes call for over-specific ingredients that many people are afraid to try. That attitude will go a long way to taking you past the amateur stage!
