If you're social distancing or in quarantine, you might be living on pantry staples for a while. Don't worry, pantry staples are staples for a reason- you can make so much with them! To help you out I'm sharing with you my favourite *51* easy vegan pantry recipes that can be made using ingredients you likely already have on hand. Bonus points, I've also included a few recipes that use ingredients that you would usually toss out.
Normally I'm all about following recipes to a T for the best results. But I know that right now it might be a bit challenging, so if you don't have every ingredient, here are my tips for substitutes.
Subs for these recipes:
1 clove garlic = 1 teaspoon garlic paste = ¼ teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon fresh herbs = ½ teaspoon dried herbs 1 cup chickpeas = 1 cup any other bean 1 cup red lentils (cook 10 mins) = 1 cup green or brown lentils (cook 20 - 35 mins) ½ cup raw cashews = ½ cup blanched almonds, macadamia nuts, or raw sunflower seeds (soak/boil times may need to be increased). 1 cup vegan butter = 1 cup cold coconut oil ½ teaspoon liquid smoke = 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 cup full-fat coconut milk = 1 cup other plant-based milk (it will be less rich) 1 cup all-purpose flour = 1 cup Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten-Free flour Fresh vegetables can be replaced with frozen or canned vegetables (cooking times may vary). Swap the veggies in the recipe for the veggies you have on hand.
Let me know if you have any other helpful substitutes!
I don't remember if I asked so pls forgive if I sent this- have you tried making Tofu Char Siu? It crossed my mind to try last night. You have such a fun take on food, it would not surprise me

I also have your cookbook and love your recipes. Thanks for pulling these together. I'll definitely be using this list for my cooking. I had forgotten about your coffee creamer recipe, which may be a real lifesaver right now! Thank you!

Have your cookbook. Love that you share these extra recipes. Thank you!
Cooking a meat and dairy free meal doesn't mean you have to settle for anything less than delicious. Our collection of tantalising and varied vegan recipes will have vegans and meat eaters alike coming back for more.
The bottom line. Most types of peanut butter are free of animal products and can be enjoyed as part of a vegan diet. However, some varieties are made in facilities that also process animal products or contain refined sugar that was produced using bone char or non-vegan ingredients like honey or fish oil.
Fox News Digital spoke with Chef Khristianne Uy, also known as Chef K, about her passion for healthy foods and healthy salads — and why getting kids excited about healthy eating is so important.
After weeks of vegan activists protesting in front of his nose-to-tail bistro, chef Michael Hunter decided to make a statement by butchering a freshly-killed deer's leg in the window of his Toronto restaurant, Antler Kitchen & Bar, right in front of the demonstrators.
Staple vegan foods such as oats, lentils, pasta, rice and chickpeas are among the cheapest foods and are in *a lot* of vegan recipes, so should definitely make an appearance on your list.
Yes, absolutely! Rice is a common grain in all cooking and has a significant place in the plant-based world too. Some rice dishes may not be suitable for vegans though, so if you're eating out or following a recipe make sure there are no meat, fish or other animal products being used before you tuck in!
The core of a stocked plant-based pantry includes five categories: basic grains and flours; dried and canned beans; a selection of rot-resistant vegetables and fruits; dried nuts and seeds; and seasonings including herbs, spices, nutritional yeast and liquid aminos.
