For those unaware, World Vegan Day was first established in 1994 by Louise Wallis, the chair of The Vegan Society in the UK. Wallis devised the date of November 1 every year for World Vegan Day as it falls around the same time as Halloween and Samhain, festivals associated with feasting. Her idea was to promote conscious, responsible and vegan feasting options for those who want to make that choice. So, World Vegan Day 2023 is the perfect time to talk about veganism as a concept and how it can be adopted by cooks and home cooks around the world.

If you are adopting veganism as a lifestyle this World Vegan Day, then here are a few simple but effective cooking tips you should start with.
1. Build The Right Pantry: You will first have to take a good look at your pantry and eliminate all animal products, dairy products and foods that may have any ingredients sourced from animals. Then, build a new pantry based on grains, legumes, fresh fruits, vegetables, dry fruits, nuts and seeds. You should also stock up on dairy alternatives like tofu, almond milk, soy milk, etc.
