My Introduction :o)

[Guest guest]

Hello to Everyone, from Siobhan!!

 

 

 

I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself yet,

but life has been very hectic and stressful

over the past while, since I've joined. [:-s]

 

My name is Siobhan, and I'm a proud vegan

mum of two very healthy, vegan-since-birth

children who are thriving on the only human

appropriate diet ... as are the children of

vegan friends, who have also been raised on

this diet since birth. While learning about

veganism years ago, and about why it's the

only truly biologically appropriate diet for our

bodies, I have also learnt that wheat isn't a

natural food for us, as it can't be digested in

its natural state. Gluten in wheat causes a lot

health problems in people due because of

this, just as any animal " foods " do... because

they are not appropriate. Our bodies are not

made to handle and process them, or the

saturated fats they contain, which cause the

plaque that builds up in the coronary arteries

and the arteries leading to the human brain,

in turn causing heart attacks and strokes.

 

Back to the gluten issue, though... we have

gluten sensitivities in our family, as many

people probably do, without even realising it.

This led me to seek information about other

grains, from which flour is made which would

be suitable for baking breads... and hence, to

this group. I was thankful to find this group,

although I cannot understand why some of the

recipes have eggs, when this is a vegan group?

Surely, there must be some mistake there...

....otherwise, it looks like a great resource, for

bread machine recipes! [] I would appreciate

hearing from any of you who have tried out

some of these gluten and egg free recipes for

baking bread, especially those for using in the

automatic bread machines. Please post and

tell us all which recipes and grains you have

found most suitable for baking bread... I'm sure

there are probably a lot of members who are

anxious to know this. I do apologise if that has

already been discussed in past message posts,

and I have somehow missed it! [:|]

 

Thank you,

 

Siobhan

Hi Siobhan,

 

Welcome to Vegan and Gluten Free. I'm Kim and I look after the Files

here at VGF.

 

I would just like to explain the reason you may find " Eggs " listed as

an ingredient in a few of the recipes. All of the these do have a

vegan alternative written in brackets next to the eggs or are written

as " X number of eggs, replaced " . I did leave them this way

intentionally for 2 reasons:

 

Firstly, this is the way the recipe was originally written and I think

it is disrespectful to alter the recipe. Also, many copyrights do

state that they don't mind the recipes being shared as long as it is

included the way it is written.

 

The second reason is that I for one, like to know what it is I'm

trying to substitute for. And everyone, or at least those that have

been cooking this way for a while, has their own unique way of

substituting ingredients such as eggs. (Heaps of egg replacer options

can be found in the Egg Substitute folder.)

 

The majority of recipes that do have eggs as an ingredient are bread

recipes. Bread is the hardest product for many gluten-free people, let

alone vegan and gluten-free, to replace. What works for one doesn't

necessarily work for another. Therefore, as many bread recipes as

possible are included to allow each individual to find a recipe that

will suit them, in whichever way they choose to substitute ingredients.

 

My family's favourite bread is " Multi-Grain Bread (*SF)(TNT) " which I

always make from " Multi-Grain Bread Mix (*SF)(TNT) " . I also have a

large tub of " Besan Bread Mix (*SF)(TNT) " on hand for making " Raisin

Bread Using 'Besan Bread Mix' (*SF)(TNT) " , " Apricot & Almond Bread

Using 'Besan Bread Mix' (*SF)(TNT) " , a Subway type of roll, or " Olive

and Garlic Rolls (*SF) " .
