Hardships of being vegan in Russia

in vegan •  2 years ago 

Sounds like you are where we were about 20 years ago. I used to travel to a 'special shop' to get supplies every few weeks but the kids loved going there anyway. I have learned to 'veganize' things and make things from scratch. For eggy flavour get some 'black salt' maybe on the internet. It makes a very eggy flavour and goes a long way. For egg replacer use chickpea flour.
The best way to learn is to get to know other vegans, find them and have get togethers.

yes, exactly!

I see from another post that you can make vegan cheese. I'd be very interested in how. I love learning to make from scratch.

oh, I make this cheese very often!
I got it from the site thehiddenveggies.com - you can check the basic recipe there (Cheddar).

What I changed:

  1. instead of cashews I use walnuts - tastes almost the same!
  2. instead of agar-agar I prefer cappa carrageenan (better consistency, melts)
  3. I add 2-3 tablespoons of pumpkin seed butter, sunflower seed butter, sesame seed butter (usually mix) - it makes it so much better!
    If you have any questions feel free to ask!

I tried making this cheese with walnuts and sea moss once and it was so disgusting it made me sick lol I think cheese is not my forte

maybe there was a problem with the recipe, or with the moss, lol (I've never tried it). Try cheese recipe from thehiddenveggies.com

Yeh I'd also like to know how you make the butters hahaha.

Yeah this is how it was about 20 years ago. Although I think some places in very south of the Uk are still quite behind. I don’t think we’ve ever struggled getting veggies and fruits though, not in my lifetime anyways.
