Hello Michael – love the way you write this piece. Thank you.
Grandma's Recipe Remix: may I add for anyone reading the comments that aqua faba, the cooking liquid from chickpeas or in fact any beans, whipped, is a perfect egg substitute in all sweet cooking/baking (including a brilliant chocolate mousse); and I use plant milk and gram (chickpea) flour instead of eggs in eg quiches.
Butter: I gently melt together olive oil and coconut oil in equal quantities, add a dash of turmeric, ditto lemon juice, and salt to taste. Keep in fridge.
(My cookbook from our land in Brittany has found a publisher and these and other recipes will be in it.)
A good piece, but I worry that it might put potential vegans off beginning their own journey? I'm lucky to be surrounded by great people and good vegan food options. Life is as hard as you choose it to be, and transitioning to veganism is an absolute breeze. Missing dairy cheese or meat bacon isn't painful!
