One of the more commonly heard cries from some in the non-vegan crowd is that a vegan diet is bland – that a vegan kitchen is a wasteland of tastelessness and uncreativity. Absolutely nothing could be further from the truth! Vegan cooking can easily be a riot of creativity, taste, color, and envy from non-vegan friends. Here are some kitchen essentials for your vegan cooking.
Bulk purchases of beans, pulses, and legumes are great to have on hand in the vegan pantry because in the kitchen as you can do so much with them – vegan burgers, soups, Mexican vegan and much more.
Make sure your vegan produce is as fresh and as colorful as possible. Colors and vibrancy inspire the eyes to taste the food! The vibrant reds of juicy tomatoes, the deep greens of hearty and healthy spinach and the oranges and yellows of crunchy peppers – and there’s more, so much more! Some vegan “bulk” such as tofu or tempeh need to be tenants in your vegan kitchen too. Gives you even more options to work with and try out.
Try using bowls of fruit for both decorative purposes as well as eating.
Dairy milk alternatives, such as soy, almond, oat or coconut, are always good to have on hand as they are versatile to cook with, such as vegan soups and curries.
And talking of curries that can come with a kick, keep plenty of herbs and spices on hand, as well as perennial favorites like fresh garlic, onion, and shallots.
Also make sure to keep a back-up of tinned goods – fruit, veg, beans, pulses, etc. Good fallbacks to have if you ever get caught short.
A vegan cookbook or two for extra as-and-when inspiration won’t go amiss from the kitchen either.
Finally, keep an open mind as to just how good vegan cooking is. Without all that saturated fat, gristle, cholesterol and so on, your vegan kitchen is already on a super solid footing to begin with.
