My son has been vegan for over ten years, so I know the situation well. You need to look at it as a challenge rather than a chore, is the way I look at it. I mostly get inspiration from the internet, there are some great sites there, I don´t own a vegan cookbook. If my daughter and her family come and I have to cook for both meat-eaters and vegans, I usually adapt so that we can all eat at least the vegetables. For Christmas dinner for example, when we all sit down to turkey, my son has giant portobello mushrooms stuffed with a mixture of breadcrumbs, parsley and pine nuts, mixed up with a little soy cream. Brussel sprouts are for everyone and I roast all the potatoes in vegan margarine, so we can all have those too. For dessert he tucks into M&S lemon sorbet with fruit. Even though I have been known to bang a few pans and utter a few swear words when I´ve been really busy trying to cook two different dinners on occasion, on the whole I found that the experience has certainly broadened my horizons from just the usual boring meat and two veg type of food. I have even baked some great vegan cakes. Go into it with an open mind and you may be surprised. Good luck!
