10 Essentials of the Vegan Kitchen By   [10 more lists]

Not many chefs cook vegan. But for those who do, cooking tends to work better with a well stocked kitchen. And when going vegan (especially if you didn’t cook that much) it’s hard to know what should be on the countertops and in the cabinets. So I’ve comprised a list—perhaps a shopping list – of the essential items that every vegan kitchen needs in order to painlessly bake up those vegan cupcakes, and cook the ultimate seitan.

    Dry Ingredients

    Dry Ingredients 10 Essentials of the Vegan Kitchen Food & Drink picture
    When you are outfitting your kitchen, one should always think of spices, dry pastas, and rice. These items its best to look for when they are on sale and get them when the getting good. Having these sorts of items at hand always is really important, so you don’t have to grab spices when a recipe calls for them, instead you can focus on finding the fresh vegetables and quality ingredients. It will also save you money in the long run.

    Vegan Cookbooks

    Vegan Cookbooks 10 Essentials of the Vegan Kitchen Food & Drink picture
    There are a lot of amazing vegan cookbooks, and it’s really hard to figure out which ones one should get when they are starting out. However I suggest start with one book that is more or less a vegan primer, for beginners like Sarah Kramer’s How it all Vegan, and then a more experienced book – for the money Veganomicon will definitely give you a lot of choices. But it’s best to ease into cooking, if you are new at it. Some vegan recipes can be pretty daunting for novices.

    Measuring Cups

    Measuring Cups 10 Essentials of the Vegan Kitchen Food & Drink picture
    Though this should be quite obvious, when you are cooking from recipes, things can get disastrous especially in baking if you just eye ball everything. You don’t need to get anything amazing in terms of measuring cups, plastic ones usually suffice.

    Mixer

    Mixer 10 Essentials of the Vegan Kitchen Food & Drink picture
    You will use a mixer a lot, and having a good countertop variety, instead of the hand models are really going to save you a lot of headache. However, I hate to say that YOU need to have the more expensive kind, but it’s a lot more convenient in the long run.

    Baking Pans

    Baking Pans 10 Essentials of the Vegan Kitchen Food & Drink picture
    If you’re like every vegan out there, you need to get your baking on. You don’t necessarily need to spend a good deal of money on your baking sheets, and cupcake pans, as one can usually get away with reusing the aluminum ones as long as you have a good quality deep pan to lay it in.

      No I haven't actually. But my suggestion would be check out some sampe recipes or flip through it in a book store. See if the recipes look good to you, and aren't completely labours. I made the mistake when I originally went vegan of getting my first vegan book full of really hard recipes so I scared myself out of eating right for the first few years. Yes even vegans can eat badly. Processed foods aren't good for anyone. :)
