24 Tips for Feeding Veggies and Vegans at Barbecuesаа 24 tips for feeding veggies and vegans at barbecues It doesn't have to be stuffed mushrooms and salad More From Fashion, Hair & Beauty, Sex and Relationships :: Cosmopolitan UK 538 Barbecues are a really fun excuse to get together, enjoy good weather and have great company. However, if you're hosting a BBQ, you may experience the sinking feeling of cluelessness when it comes to veggie or vegan options. Luckily, I'm a long­time vegan and have found lots of great alternatives to meaty burgers that are simple to cook and delicious. Plus, I've got some little tips to get you around tricky areas, like meat­veg contamination and food mix­ups. Trust me: cater well for a veggie or vegan at a BBQ and they'll appreciate it big time. 1. There are now many options for meat substitutes that cook just as well as the real deal on the barbecue, from vegetable protein shaped into sausages and burgers to tofu. Don't be afraid to start cooking them indoors before taking them to the barbecue – it'll save time. 2. If using tofu, buy a firm type as it retains its shape best (Cauldron tofu is firm and is readily available in supermarkets.) Pat the tofu with kitchen roll before use to get any excess moisture out. It'll absorb more flavour that way. 3. For cheesy burgers and sausages, try Yorkshire­based company HECK's's veggie range, available in Waitrose and online. They also do vegan quinoa balls, which would make a great side or veg kebab bulker. 4. VBites have beef, chicken and chorizo style pieces that are suitable for barbecues. It's also worth checking out their other veggie and vegan ranges, like patés and pies. 5. If you really want to impress, Yumbles stock lots of premium meat alternatives. There's a great range of vegan cheeses too, including chilli cheese, soft cheese and spiced cheese. They genuinely taste good, unlike some of the vegan cheese out there. 6. Fry's vegan and veggie sausages and burgers are a cheaper alternative, but are by no means sub­standard. Available in Morrisons, Holland & Barrett and Nisa stores amongst other places, they're a safe bet if you're short on time to source food. 7. While all Quorn products are vegetarian, only some of them are vegan. Look at the top right corner of the Quorn packaging ­ the vegan ones have a green corner and say 'vegan' on them. There's a list of which ones are and aren't vegan on the Quorn site. 8. The fat content in vegetables and veggie/ vegan meat alternatives tends to be lower than that in meat. Brush them with a light coat of Vita Coco Coconut Oil to keep them from catching when you first put them on the barbie. 9. Avoid cross­contamination on the barbecue by wrapping veggie and vegan food in tin foil. Or, to cook it without losing the flavour of the coals, pop a ProCook Griddle on one part of the barbecue. It acts as a second and separate base, so you can keep meat juices well away. You can also use the griddle on household cooker tops, so you can get good use out of it after. Getty 10. Another tip to avoid cross­contamination is to colour code your plates. Get three colours of plates, then choose one colour for veggie food, one for vegan food and one for meaty food. Pop a plate under each bowl to indicate what's suitable for who. Easy! If you don't have different coloured plates, just go for different coloured stickers on the outside of bowls. 11. Lots of sauces and marinades that you can use on meat can also be used on tofu or meat alternatives. Just check bottles and packets for the main non­vegan culprits: egg, milk, lactose, whey, honey and gelatine. For more on non­vegan ingredients, check out PETA's list. 12. Slather Clearspring's Umami Paste all over blocks of firm tofu for a strong soy sauce savouriness. You can choose from chilli or ginger flavour. 13. For an authentic BBQ taste,Jack Daniel's Barbecue sauces deliver. There are six in the range ­ some smokey, some spicy ­ all of which are vegan except for JD Honey Barbecue Glaze, which is veggie. 14. If you want a smokey herb and spice rub that's vegan, opt for Santa Maria's BBQ & Grill Mesquite Grinder. Grind it to unleash smoked chipotle chilli, tangy red and green bell peppers and garlic, with no hidden nasties. Advertisement ­ Continue Reading Below 15. Shop­bought prepared salad bowls often have non­vegan ingredients in the dressings. Stick to no­mayo options and check the label before buying. Steve's Leaves make a yummy pre­prepared salad bowl that is vegan ­ the Terrific Thai Salad. You get a large amount in a bowl so it'll go a long way, plus the leaves are crispy fresh. 16. Make some easy vegan sides that meat­eaters will love too. Try baking sweet potatoes in the oven then finishing them in tin foil on the BBQ. Drizzle with lime and plain Alpro yoghurt for extra flavour. 17. Some crisps aren't vegetarian, let alone vegan. Flavours like cheese and onion often have a hard cheese powder called rennet in them, which comes from animals. Either find a veggie/ vegan packet of crisps or go for something different, like Nairn's Organic Super Seeded Oatcakes or Yushoi Snapea rice sticks. These both work well in dips, too. 18. Like meat­eaters, vegans love sweet treats after a BBQ. It's not too hard to cater for, either. You could serve fruit kebabs drizzled in melted vegan chocolate (try Bournville, Ombar or Maza), or buy some vegan marshmallows or Crunchie­style nibbles from Fabulous FreeFrom Factory.. If you're after vegan cakes and biccies, head to the free from aisle in the supermarket or a health shop. Many cakes are veggie ­ just check the ingredients. 19. If you want to make a fruit salad for everyone to enjoy, toss some edible flowers onto it to make it more appealing. The colour and novelty will have people flocking to it. Healthy and Instagram­worthy! 20. Many people don't realise, but some wines and beers aren't vegetarian. Thankfully, Waitrose has found over 50 vegan wines so everyone can enjoy a glass. The full­bodied Chene Bleu Rosé is well worth a go. As for beers, check out London Beer Factory, whose entire range is vegan (and a crowd pleaser). 21. For online recipe inspiration when it comes to side dishes, have a scout around Instagram. Look at RawVeganBlonde, TheFlexiFoodie and DeliciouslyElla for interesting, easy and delicious ways to create fresh, flavourful food. 22. Stuck without your laptop? Download BiteAppy,a recipe app that has hundreds of free from dishes to choose from. Alternatively, if you want to completely de­screen, order a veggie HelloFresh box. You'll get a box full of ready­measured ingredients and recipe cards so that you can create yummy veggie dishes with ease. 23. Prep is key with barbecues, and this goes for veggie and vegan dishes too. The more you can do in advance, the less of a pickle you'll be in on the day. Try to get your side dishes done the night before, buy in where you can and part­cook anything that takes a while indoors. 24. The final tip is to have fun! Even if you only manage to get one or two veggie and vegan options out, your guests will really appreciate the effort you went to. Barbecues are all about enjoying the weather and the company, so try to relax. If you're completely lost, just ask your veggie and vegan guests for some help. Most people love getting stuck in!

Adding plant-based options to your current menus needn’t be difficult, indeed there are a few very easy things you can do to ensure this. By adding vegan options to your menu you will be appealing to a growing market of vegans, but also vegetarians, pescetarians, meat-reducers and meat-eaters wanting to try something new. 1 WHAT IS A VEGAN?

  • A Pocket Guide to Veganism
    A Pocket Guide to Veganism What is veganism? Veganism is a way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, cruelty to and exploitation of animals. In dietary terms, this means avoiding eating animal products like meat, dairy, eggs and honey. Why Vegan? It’s better for animals! The majority of animals who are bred for consumption spend their short lives on a factory farm, before facing a terrifying death. Chickens like Bramble here spend their lives in tiny, windowless sheds. She had no access to natural light, fresh air, or even grass. Thankfully she was saved from slaughter. But many others aren’t as lucky. It helps the planet! Animal farming is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all motorised transport combined. In addition, it is responsible for vast amounts of deforestation and water pollution around the world. The carbon footprint of a vegan diet is as much as 60% smaller than a meat-based one and 24% smaller than a vegetarian one. It’s healthy! You can obtain all of the nutrients your body needs from a vegan diet. As such, the British Dietetics Association and American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (along with many other similar organisations around the world) all support a well-planned vegan diet as being healthy and suitable for all age groups. Shopping It has never been easier to be vegan, with plant-based foods now available in every single supermarket. Thanks to Animal Aid’s #MarkItVegan campaign, the vast majority of supermarkets now clearly label their own-brand vegan products! Brands to look out for..

    Insights by Brandwatch Alternative food trends on Twitter You can always count on food to bring people together. And Twitter is the place where people go to talk about their passions and interests, especially when it comes to good eats. Food alternatives are an ever-growing and evolving marketplace that are appealing to both chefs and foodies alike. But what are people talking about and how is the conversation changing on Twitter? We teamed up with Brandwatch to uncover top consumer trends around food alternatives by looking at share of voice. To do this, Brandwatch observed a random smaller sample (33%) of the overall conversation on Twitter from 2019 to 2020. This is highly accurate method for measuring large universes of data. Let’s dig in! Priyanka Naik FIRST RECIPE of 2021: Vegan Mexican Sweet Corn Cake! Someone please tell me you’ve heard of the old school chain ChiChi’s, bc that’s what inspired this!

A like and a retweet go along way Twitter is the only platform that truly allows a chef to be raw (pun intended). I can share my candid thoughts on the food/culinary industry and engage in thoughtful conversations with others invested in this industry. I can connect with other food lovers, chefs, and journalists in an instance. One may go to another platform for the beautiful visuals, but people come to Twitter to find the experts.” Priyanka Naik Share of voice #TrendyDiets Veganism and vegetarianism continue to own the highest share of voice each year, however sub themes around purpose surfaced within the conversation.

Galactosaemia is a rare, inherited, metabolic disorder. Galactose is present in lactose, the sugar found in all animal milks. People with galactosaemia lack the enzyme needed to break down galactose. Usually, when a person eats or drinks a product containing lactose, such as milk, cheese, or butter, the body breaks the lactose down into two sugars, glucose and galactose. Glucose is used by the body for energy, while galactose is converted into more glucose. In galactosaemia, the enzyme that converts galactose into glucose is missing. This causes too much galactose to build up in the blood. The build-up of galactose can cause serious complications including; Enlarged liver Kidney failure Cataracts Speech problems Brain damage 3 WHAT IS GALACTOSAEMIA? Person without Galactosaemia Person with Galactosaemia 4 WHAT IS THE TREATMENT FOR GALACTOSAEMIA? The treatment is a low galactose diet. The main source of galactose is lactose, so lactose has to be excluded from the diet. It is recommend that dietary treatment is for life. WHAT TYPES OF FOOD CONTAIN LACTOSE?
