meat , dairy and egg replacements

one of the hardest things about making the switch to a vegan diet is giving up foods that have been a part of our daily lives, holidays, celebrations and other events since childhood. a great way to ease the transition is to find vegan alternatives to familiar non-vegan foods and dishes.

a word of caution, however: approaching these replacements for meat, dairy, and egg by expecting them to taste identical will be setting yourself up for disappointment. the texture and taste of animal products is impossible to duplicate completely. that said, once you learn not to expect that same taste and texture you'll find the alternatives quite delicious in their own right!
