Vegan and Vegetarian Phrases in Languages

While I along with my husband were in California a
couple of months ago, we went to Thirupati Bhimas - a
vegetarian restaurant in Artesia, Los Angeles.

You can find many vegan options in Indian
restaurants.I came across a rice dish, Bagala bath on
the menu. I assumed it was made with eggplants, known
as Baingan in one of the Indian languages, Hindi.

my dish, I realized that something was terribly wrong.
The mound of rice was white as snow. I realized that it
was a spicy yogurt rice. I felt horrible.

The waitress was wonderful.When I told the waitress
about my confusion with words, she calmly listened .I now ordered rice pulao.The rice pulao came with a small bowl of yogurt mixed with chopped onions.

Yes, being a vegan is pretty challenging and daunting.

Finding Vegetarian and Vegan Restaurants Online

Recently when I and my husband were planning to visit Long Beach, California , I wondered about finding vegan food in a new city.

Fortunately, I found a great website HappyCow to locate vegetarian and vegan restaurants.

HappyCow is a very user-friendly website. With a click of mouse-button you can find vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurants. You can also read restauarant reviews.

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)

The number of vegans around the world would be very
high, if the percentage of vegan doctors ,dietitians
and nutritionists was high in our world.

For the vast majority of the population in the world,
milk and its byproducts such as yogurt, ghee(clarified
butter), butter and butter-milk is considered healthy
foods. Since everyone from doctors to nutritionists
believe that milk is a healthy food, it is natural for
people to consume loads of milk products to get
calcium, even though there are millions of people
suffering from milk allergy.

Fortunately, there is one non-profit organization
consisting of doctors who fully agree that it is
possible to lead a healthy lifestyle by consuming only
plant-based food.

It is indeed very easy to get all the nutrients our
body needs from plant-based foods.

Vegan Sukhadi - Fudge Like Dessert

I sometimes try new recipes.And I always prefer
recipes with few ingredients.

Recently, I tried fudge like dessert called, Sukhadi
-a traditional Gujarati dessert, from Trupti's blog

The Spice Who Loved Me

Well, I veganized this recipe. I substituted maple
syrup for jaggery(Unrefined sugar), and Earth
Balance's soy garden buttery spred for ghee (clarified
butter).Jaggery is a wonderful healthy alternative to
sugar and it is also a vegan food. I used maple syrup,
because I love to use local ingredients.

I left out the milk and cardamom powder, but followed
the same procedures of Trupti's to make these delicious fudges.

I'm sure I will prepare this sweet often, as the
recipe is pretty simple and contains only three
ingredients: Whole wheat flour, maple syrup and soy
garden natural buttery spread.

Scrumptious Vegan Cookies

I love cookies. Before becoming a vegan, I would
regularly buy cookies in supermarkets, bakeries and in
my favorite coffee shop - Starbucks.

came across some cookies near the cash register ,in a
restaurant.

superb.I ate Double Chocolate Decadence cookie and my

believe they were made without eggs and milk.You

It is very easy to be a vegan in America, because you get dairy free ice creams in almost every supermarket.
