    Ep. 07 - Mini Series: A Beginner's Guide to Being Vegan: How To Tofu
    Jun 12 2023
    Welcome back to our tofu extravaganza – part two of Debunking Taste Perceptions & Expectations. Today, we're diving headfirst into the world of tofu – a protein-packed, soylicious adventure! But first, let's tackle the epic "soy contains estrogen" myth. Brace yourselves – it's time for a soy-sational revelation! Soy actually contains phytoestrogens, not the villainous estrogen. Think of them as hormone superheroes with different capes, fighting for our health. Meanwhile, the real culprits – meat, dairy, and eggs – are estrogen factories! They've been pumping out estrogen like there's no tomorrow. Move over, tofu, the meat aisle is the true estrogen danger zone! Now, let's meet our tofu stars – silken, firm, extra firm, and super firm! Super firm tofu is the Arnold Schwarzenegger of the tofu world, holding its shape like a champ. Extra firm is the flavor-loving party animal, while silken tofu is the delicate fairy godmother of desserts and egg replacements. But wait, there's more – tofu is a versatile culinary wizard! You can bake it, fry it, sauté it, blend it – you name it, tofu can do it! Crumble it into vegan ground meat, whip it into creamy sauces, or use it in sweet treats. Tofu is a chameleon of taste, turning any dish into a tofu-tastic masterpiece. And guess what? Tofu is budget-friendly too! It won't break the bank, so you can save money for other tofu adventures. Tofu – the frugal foodie's dream come true! But beware – tofu can be a bit high maintenance. It loves a good press now and then, but don't worry, a tofu press will save your pressing patience! And while tofu demands a bit of attention, it's worth it for all the yummy goodness it brings to the table. So, there you have it – tofu, the protein-packed superhero that deserves a spot in your kitchen. Say goodbye to misconceptions and embrace tofu's tofu-nomenal powers. Whether you're a tofu novice or a seasoned tofu enthusiast, there's always a tofu adventure waiting for you Hope you enjoyed this tofu-rrific episode!

    Mar 26 2023
    Welcome to today's podcast on the taste, texture, and likability of vegan foods. Let's confront biases head-on! As a former new vegan, I get it. Plant-based isn't an exact replica, but that's totally fine! Taste preferences can change, influenced by dopamine and gut factors. Transition to plant-based at your pace - go slow or dive in! Don't believe the myth that all vegan food is processed. Wholesome choices are abundant! And remember, even animal foods have their critics when it comes to texture. My mission is simple: Bust myths and embrace plants. Let's savor the truth - Plants are delicious!

    Ep.05 - Mini Series: A Beginner’s Guide to Being Vegan: Shopping, Stocking Cupboards, and Meal Plans
    Sep 18 2022
    In this podcast episode, we discusses how to transition to a vegan diet, focusing on meal planning, grocery shopping, and essential kitchen appliances. Grocery shopping became a breeze with a strategic list, organized according to the store's layout. We will talk about how I advise against splurging on expensive vegan novelty items and encouraged gradual additions of fruits and vegetables. Find essential ingredients for the cupboard and fridge—grains, oats, beans, tofu, and more. Freezer treasures included frozen berries and veggies for quick and easy meals. Small appliances like blenders and food processors became allies in their vegan journey, while unnecessary ones were skipped. Be warned about sneaky ingredients labels, urging them to check for hidden animal-based components. By following these tips, listeners will feel more confident in transitioning to a vegan diet, improving their meal planning, grocery shopping, and kitchen preparations.
