This book will not go into detail about the differences among the various vegan types. Rather, this book will introduce you to different kinds of vegan dishes that will appeal to your palate. As the title says, Veganism: Eating Healthy Without Forgoing Delectable Dishes, the book will contain different recipes. Also, the book will tackle on the different substitutions to common ingredients such as dairy products, animal meat, and great plant-based sources of certain nutrients. Before anything else, let us tackle a basic question by people who confuse veganism with vegetarianism, ‘What are vegans and what do vegans eat?’ Veganism is different from vegetarianism. Yes, both of these are diets that prefer eating vegetables and other plant-produce while avoiding meat, fish and poultry but veganism takes it to the next level. Vegans do not eat and use other animal derived products such as eggs, dairy milk, fur, and wool just to mention a few. Vegans also avoid cosmetics and other products that have been tested by animals and those that have animal-based components. These were briefly mentioned earlier. In a way, vegan is akin to a philosophy or a way of living. The answer to the next question about what vegans can eat is simple. There are several alternatives to animal-products and by-products which are able to provide the necessary nutrients which shall be discussed in greater detail in the later portions of this book. These food sources are rich in good fat, vitamin D, calcium, zinc and iron.
