Hey everyone! 👋

I’m still fairly new to being vegan, and not a great cook.
But I’d really like to pick up more tips whether it’s about getting the best flavours, simple swaps, or how to replicate certain dishes I used to enjoy.

Any advice or hacks you’ve picked up along the way? I’d love to hear them 🧑‍🍳😊

The best tips I learnt for adding flavour to vegan versions of my favourite dishes were:

Spag bol: add a bit of vegan pesto or dry Cajun spices for more layers of flavour

Curry: sprinkle in crispy onions (the dry ones you buy in a tub), they make curry taste incredible 🤤

Casseroles and Shepherds pie: you can use HP/ brown sauce instead of Worcestershire sauce for the same flavour.

Risotto, soups and creamy pasta: sprinkle in nutritional yeast flakes for that nutty/cheesy mild flavour 😋

Hope this helps!
