Please read this section first before you look at the recipe links:
Food is a powerful medicine. Please read the section on vegan nutrition and if you are currently taking any medication, please monitor your need to reduce its dosage or discontinue it guided by your physician. The only nutrient that is not found in plant-based food is Vitamin B12. Please read more about this in this link:
http://www.veganhealth.org/articles/vitaminb12.
When I started going vegetarian in 1991, there was a dearth of information but I was able to get through it. With the advent of the internet, suddenly, there are so many recipes, vegan/vegetarian alternatives to choose from. Just bear in mind that there are many alternatives that are available locally and you can try to substitute them in these recipes e.g. artichoke with banana blossom, kale with taro leaves, etc.
Some of the recipes below use ingredients from animals like eggs, cheese and dairy. We do not recommend the consumption of these food. For your health and the health of the environment, we suggest that you try to substitute these ingredients using the table found in this link: Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine's Substitution Chart
We are also encouraging you to stay away from sugar and other sweeteners listed in the recipe. The World Health Organization recently issued a challenge to cut sugar intake to 6 teaspoons a day (http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-added-sugar-who-six-teaspoons-per-day-20140305,0,4431783.story).
But with a growing number of studies on its ill effects, it is best to avoid it. Aside sweetening your life and the lives of your loved ones with a smile, you can use healthier alternatives to sweeten your food like yellow ripe bananas, jackfruit, mangoes and sweet vegetables like sayote, unripe papaya, squash and carrots.
