My kitchen experiment that made me ditch vegan meat substitutes
I noticed everyone using mock meats in their recipes, so I tried it for a month. Honestly, the textures never felt right to me, and the flavors were off. Now I just cook with lentils, beans, and whole vegetables from the start. It saves money and tastes more natural, in my opinion. Most people I know swear by the substitutes, but I think we're overcomplicating things.
