Recipes and tips for starting a vegan lifestyle

Of course, for those who love meat and dairy products very much, it is not easy to become 100% veg overnight. This is why it is a journey, one step at a time, guided for 31 days, which can then be continued independently thanks to the knowledge and recipes acquired.

Because often, in truth, you don't even try for a very simple reason: you don't know what to bring to the table!

First of all, it is not true that being vegan means eating only salad, a few tasteless and unappealing foods, on the contrary.

Many foods that are the basis of our diet are already vegan, in themselves: don't you believe it? Our beloved tomato pasta and marinara pizza!

And very little is needed to make many dishes and desserts vegan: risotto, if creamed with olive oil instead of butter, cakes, replacing the butter with coconut oil, savory pies, using chickpea flour to create the creamy filling instead of egg... they are just some very easy substitutions, which open up new scenarios, new flavours, colors and combinations!
