I was very fortunate to be the daughter of someone passionate for cooking and for challenges.
When I became a vegetarian my mother had the 2 things she most liked: cooking challenges.
Every single recipe that would be impossible to make without non veg ingredients, she was able to make. She was proud of it, and we loved it.
But we did eat dairy. My brother and I and all our friends were connected to hindu culture, and vegetarian dishes are full of dairy products.
So, we all new how to cook and we cooked very tasty. Besides the exquisite Indian dishes, we also had mom cooking brazilian dishes without meat or eggs.
My transition process to veganism and to my present difficult diet situation was in fact very slow.
It started when mom started becoming old and couldn’t cook any longer. At the same time I became lactose intolerant.
But it was only when my mom passed away that I decided to become vegan, because I read more about cow suffering on milk production. It became unbearable to me to belong to groups that say they love animals but still accept this kind of torture.
Anyway, I lost my mother, who used to cook rich and great, I am away from that community, who also cooked rich and great, I am living by myself, and even though I know how to change the recipes that used dairy vegan dishes I am not doing it right. It is taking me ages to cook, I don’t have this kind of time, I am not like my mom that lived for cooking.
I am living a millennial life and I want to learn from millennials how to eat easy, rich and tasty.
I also entered in menopause, my metabolism is very slow, I feel very weak because last months I live by eating bread, potato and rice. Last months, no, last 2 years!
I am killing myself because I am lazy and can’t cook.
I need urgently to change this, my health is compromised, I am low in all nutrients you might imagine. I need help.
I don’t know if it is lack of motivation or actual knowledge. I thought I knew about it, but I see I don’t.
