Stocking a Vegan Kitchen

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone! I was surfing and found a very interesting site:

 

http://www.veganstreet.com/

 

Here is some information that I found there:

 

Stocking a Vegan Kitchen

 

 

Many people never make the transition to a

meatless diet simply because they cannot figure

out what they could eat. Keeping a well-stocked

kitchen and a few good cookbooks on hand will

make it easier for those trying to maintain a

vegetarian diet. The most popular cookbooks in

the Vegan Street kitchen are:

 

Tofu Cookery, by Louise Hagler

Friendly Foods, by Brother Ron Pikarski

Vegan Vittles, by Joanne Stepaniak.

 

Here are the components of a well-stocked vegan kitchen:

Beans, dried or canned

Nuts (walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, etc.)

Brown rice

Whole-grain breads (pitas, loafs, tortillas, etc.)

Crackers

Oils (olive, canola, flaxseed, sesame, etc.)

Vinegars, flavored and plain

Olives

Pickles

Grains (bulghur, millet, quinoa, etc.)

Pasta

Pasta sauce

Salsa

Flours (wheat, wheat pastry, etc.)

Unbleached sugar

Vanilla extract

Almond extract

Natural sweeteners (maple syrup, brown rice syrup)

Milk substitutes (soy, rice, oat or rice milks)

Baking powder

Baking soda

Cornstarch or arrowroot

Vegan chocolate or carob chips

Egg replacer

Rolled oats

Whole-grain cereal

Condiments (tamari, horseradish, miso, mustard, etc.)

Nutritional yeast

Canned or frozen vegetables

Canned or frozen fruit

Dried fruit (pineapple, mango, papaya, etc.)

Meat substitutes (TVP, seitan, tofu, tempeh, etc.)

Ready-made veggie burgers, veggie hot dogs

Sea salt

Peppercorns (if you have a grinder) or ground pepper

A variety of spices

And a few perishable necessities, like garlic, onions and potatoes

 

Yes, grandmother got by with only a rolling pin, a

frying pan and a knife, but for the rest of us

modern, spoiled chefs, these are some good

kitchen accessories to have on hand: a garlic

press, a vegetable peeler, a morter and pestle, a

high quality knife or two, a blender, a mushroom

brush, a food processer and a juicer.
