What is "vegan"?

"Vegan" ... funny as when like me you do not know what it means.
If vegetarian is one who does not eat animal flesh, vegan one who consumes no animal products, vegan, he does not eat any product of animal exploitation, that this product is eaten or not ( eg it does not wear fur, leather, etc ..).
Marie Laforet (not the artist we know) says that being "vegan" is "refusing the exploitation of animals." This, she said, "a global lifestyle that goes beyond vegetarianism and veganism, as goes beyond the alimentation.Cela results in different ways to consume, committed and ethical which excludes products of animal exploitation. "

Listed here are essential for vegan food (tofu, vegetable creams, oilseeds purees, agar, starch, white cashew nuts, flax seeds, soy protein, different sauces ...).

What is impressive is the number of recipes, some five hundred, recipes that use vegetable protein, vegetable milk and cheeses, creams and vegetable fats, vegetables and fruits to make bowls, soups, casseroles, salads, cakes, pizzas, pasta, tofu nuggets, homous, pancakes, coconut butter, jams, cookies, seitan skewers, apple turnovers ...
Some recipes are tasty (creams, puddings, pies, cakes, chocolate), others will be made for occasions, friends, family, during a picnic, barbecue or Christmas Eve.

While it is true that it is sometimes difficult to find certain products, it is also true that without knowing it, sometimes we cook the "vegan" mode. In any case, it is then a sacred work, revenues are tempting and beautiful pictures.
