The key to veganism is in the creative use of seasonings and preparation techniques to elevate the taste. Over the last decade, the Vegan Diet has evolved more than ever. It has become so popular that you can find many plant-based options in your local supermarkets from brands like Beyond Meat, Daiya, Sweet Earth, Impossible Foods, and so many more!
Cooking vegan meals is all about the flavors and seasonings, making it similar to preparing meat-based dishes. You can create rich, savory flavors by using herbs, spices, and marinades, with ingredients like soy sauce, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic, and liquid smoke. Additionally, methods such as grilling, roasting, and braising can enhance the texture and flavor of vegetables, making any vegan meal delicious and fulfilling.
Berks County Restaurants are also picking up on this trend by adding vegan options to their menus. A few places that I can list right here in Reading, PA are Greenhouse Cafe, Chen Vegetarian, Farmhouse Kitchen, and Good Life Organics. Kimberton Whole Foods also offers a vast selection of foods that you may have never heard of. So, once and for all, if you have not tried vegan food yet, give it a chance—you will not be disappointed!
