Vegan

I’m not vegan, but I have so many vegan friends that some of them is always in my guest list for dinner… If eating vegan means eliminating ingredients of animal origin from the plate, it can also mean including expencive and hard to find substitute ingredients for eggs, milk, meat and cheese… My approach to vegan recipes is a bit different… I avoid any substitute and use only common ingredients. Eating Italian for vegans will not be as difficult as you might think. Good for vegans, good for all!
