What are these? Something you get from woolies coles.
The core thing to remember especially if you grew up with mums bad cooking or are a crap cook yourself, is that in a meat based diet, it provides most of the flavour. If you're a veggie, herbs and spices provide the flavour. Soy products are not a meat substitute.
still living at home
(im far too close to uni to make worthwile moving out atm) but I will cooking for myself if I go vego. And I am still learning to cook but Im getting better
So I take it soy = bad? (well soy milk is evil and I guess the soy part makes that milk evil) Are dietry substitutes ok? Or should I really try and find products that have protein in them. From what Ive heard supplements are bad, but I wasn't really paying attention.
I might head off to a 2nd book shop tomorrow and see what asian style cookbooks they have.
