When I first discovered that I loved to cook, it was Rachael Ray's cooking show, 30 Minute Meals that motivated me. I know she bugs a lot of people but I have never made a recipe that we didn't like. When I "went vegan" I thought I would have to give away my cookbooks. Not just RR's either. But tonight I was thinking about her Smokey Turkey Shepherd's Pie, a family favorite. And I thought, what if I tried to veganize it? And then...what I tried to make ALL of them vegan friendly? I grabbed the closest cookbook, RR's Book of 10. Glancing through it made it clear this would be a challenge. Almost every recipe has either meat or dairy. Some things are easy to substitute with things like tofu or soy milk. Others...not so much. And then there are some recipes that simply don't appeal to me. I'm not really a soup person.
So ok. It won't be every recipe. But I believe I will attempt one recipe a week and see if I can successfully make it vegan.
Stay tuned.....
