hey vegans/vegetarians now is the time, i am actively asking for input.

i’d really love some tips for meat alternatives that are not soy based & are, critically, affordable on a tight budget.

(other protein & vitamin tips are welcome, especially dairy alternatives. again, looking for non soy & as low budget as possible.)

I really love this resource: https://www.budgetbytes.com/category/recipes/vegetarian/

Cooking on a budget shouldn’t mean canned beans and ramen noodles night after night. Welcome to the world of delicious recipes designed for small budgets.”

Legumes (chickpeas, peas, lentils, peanuts, and yes soybeans) and fungi (mushrooms, yeast/yeast derivatives) are probably the right way to go, if you live in the uk then marmite or yeast extract? Seitan is wheat proteins from flour so thats fairly cheap, thats most of the main non-soy things i would think if youre 100% vegan. Im neither vegan nor vegetarian, im just a culinary student, so sorry if this is fairly bog-standard advice.

no no, advice is advice, ty!

i found some chickpea tofu recently, which was certainly interesting. it wasn’t bad, but it was quite different from soy tofu lol

those are all things i’m relatively aware of, but i definitely don’t know enough about them yet, so ty for reinforcing some of these! think i’m gonna look further into seitan & similar vegetable proteins specifically.

Today I made a tortilla dough for the first time in my life! Until now I have been buying ready flours in supermarkets. By making it at home I avoided unwanted packaging and ingredients :)
