DH and I aren't ready to go fully vegan yet but we are having several vegan days per week etc. On my part it's mainly for environmental reasons and his is mainly health (he watched a film about various sports men and women and the benefits they claim.) I'm aware of the risk of vitamin deficiencies especially B12, calcium etc.
I've bought a couple of magazines but all the recipes have ingredients I've never heard of (e.g. liquid smoke, 10 different types of flour.) I don't mind buying things that are new to me but will become storecupboard staples but I really don't want to spend a fortune on stuff that I'll rarely use. I've stocked up on tins of various beans and pulses. What else do I need?
We are both busy people with little time / inclination for cooking so any advice on shortcuts, which are the best ready meals, and that kind of thing would be much appreciated. We tend to cook from scratch at the weekend and freeze portions and during the week eat from the freezer or ready meals.
We both enjoy eating meat so some products / meals which pretend to be meat would be great. I tried Quorn years ago and wasn't overly impressed - has it improved in recent years?
Supermarkets / food stores I can easily get to are Aldi, ASDA, Morrisons, Sainsburys and M&S. Basically I just need some suggestions as to how to do a vegan / plant based diet with the minimum effort.
