Want to undertake a vegan diet but do not know where to start?
GET YOUR PROTEIN
'Whether you've already adopted a plant-based lifestyle or not, there's such a lot protein which will be found in plants - from pulses, to peanuts!
'For me my personal favourite attend is tempeh, because it is a fermented product and that i love that slight savoury tang also because the nutty texture.'
STOCKPILE PULSES AND GRAINS
'If you stockpile good quality pulses and grains, and stick with buying seasonal vegetables - ideally from an area market - it are often a very cost-effective thanks to live also as a delicious one.
BE PLAYFUL WITH FOOD
'The tastes, flavours and textures you'll create when cooking with all plants are endless - whether it's cooking up fresh portobello and chestnut mushrooms, tossed in vegetable oil and roasting really hot to char, to stay their texture chewy and meaty or baking an Oreo lime Pie as a treat!
'It's all about experimenting and being playful with food, like putting spins on British classics - for instance using lentils and walnuts during a bolognese, instead of beef, to enjoy with a glass of wine on the sofa!'
TREAT VEGGIES LIKE MEAT
'My top tip is to treat veggies exactly like meat. If you specialise in dry-rubs, marinades, charring and roasting you will always find yourself with awesome, complex flavour!
She added that while a vegan diet are often exciting and filled with flavours, people can often fall under traps and eat badly.
DON'T USE IT AS AN EXCUSE
'One trap is that the assumption that a vegan diet is automatically healthy and thus anything goes.
'A diet packed of light bread , crisps, margarine and oreos is vegan diet, but it is from balanced! Prioritising seasonal vegetables and wholefoods is vital , vegan or otherwise.'
