I used to be a vegan but found it extremely hard to eat out in my town, and also found it hard to find vegan-friendly foods at the supermarkets here so just went back to vegetarian. I've decided to give it another go, though, but first I'm just trying to find a whole heap of vegan recipes. I used to rely on my mum to cook me food but now I'm cooking for myself and so I think I'll go better this time around. If anyone can help me out with some recipes that would be great. But I am pretty picky when it comes to what I eat.
It's great you want to give veganism another shot, it really is the best thing you can do for animals and yourself. I found it really hard at first, but once you realise the range of things you can eat it's easy. The site
www.vegweb.com has amazing and simple recipes, you can find a recipe for almost anything.
You should also consider entering Animal Liberation Victoria's 30 Day Vegan Easy Challenge which starts this Sunday! They will send you a vegan starter kit along with other literature and some stickers. All you have to do is sign up online at
www.veganeasy.org, which gives you a chance at winning $1,000 dollars or other prizes. The Vegan Easy website will soon provide you with great recipes for every one of these 30 days. Hopefully after the month you'll realise how easy it is and stick to it.
Good luck, let me know if you need anymore help.
