No judgement from me, Veganuary can only be a positive thing in my book (apart from the extremely obvious, cynical capitalist cash in element). When I first went vegan years ago I found that trying to replicate my favourite non vegan recipes with meat/dairy replacements was never as satisfying as I hoped it would be so my advice as somebody who's giving it a go would be to find recipes you would like to eat that happen to not have any animal products in and go from there. You'll never find a totally convincing substitute for a non vegan product. It'll make you think more about what you're cooking and hopefully get you out of your comfort zone in a positive way!

Agree with this. If you're looking for some 'just happen to be vegan' recipes Meera Sodha has been doing some good vegan stuff in the guardian for a while, maybe peruse her stuff and see if anything takes your fancy.
Personally vouch STRONGLY for the Gado Gado
Get the Taifun smoked tofu for this and go off.

I've been flirting with the idea of going vegan for awhile now and have decided to try 'Veganuary' (awful name) to give it a proper go.
I'm not too worried about during the week. I eat a mainly vegan breakfast and lunch as is. Dinners will be trickier as my wife does most of the cooking for the family and won't be switching with me.
I reckon I'll have to do a fair bit of batch cooking on weekends as I don't have much time in the evenings.
Anyone got any tips for me? Hopefully the whole Veganuary isn't frowned upon round these parts!
