Vegan Kitchen Essentials
No vegan kitchen would be complete without these helpful items:
? Fresh fruits and vegetables: Don't be afraid to try new ones!.
? Soy, rice, or nut milk: Both are great for sauces and salad dressings!.
? Coconut milk and coconut cream: The higher fat content is great for sorbets, ice creams, and baking!.
? Soy sauce and tamari: These are great as a basic sauce ingredient!.
? Vegetarian stock: There is a wide variety of faux-chicken stocks and vegetable stocks available!. If you have the time, try making our Roasted Vegetable Stock, which can be kept in the freezer for future use!.
? Nonhydrogenated margarine: Good brands to look for are Earth Balance and Soy Garden!.
? High-quality oils: extra-virgin olive oil, safflower oil, canola oil, and coconut oil
? Nondairy sour cream: try Tofutti brand
? Maple syrup: an alternative to sugar for baking and for sauces
? Agave or brown rice syrup: can be used in place of honey in recipes
? Florida Crystals: unprocessed vegan sugar that can be used instead of refined sugar in any recipe
? Nutritional yeast: has a rich, nutty flavor and makes delicious cheesy sauces; can also be used in breading, dressings, and soups as well as on pasta
? Agar-agar: creates delicious vegan Jell-O, pudding, and jelly
? Arrowroot and/or cornstarch: great as a thickening agent in soups, stews, and sauces!.
? Canned tomato sauce: always useful in preparing last-minute meal
? Staples: beans, rice, frozen veggies, and garlic
? Soy mayonnaise: Use in place of traditional mayonnaise in pasta and potato salads, sandwich spreads, and sauces; try Nayonaise or Vegenaise brands!.
? A blender
? A food processor
? A chef's knife: It has a rigid blade with a slight curve that facilitates the rocking motion most chefs use in chopping and is perfect for slicing, dicing, and chopping!.

If you are just switching from cows milk to soy milk it will taste weird at first! If it is unbearable weird try another brand, or wait a couple weeks and try it again!.
I love vitasoy soy milk!. its not in the refridgerated section!.
also there is rice, almond, oat, and hemp milk!.
Hummus is good to have!.
Salad/lettuce!.
