- Vegan cuisine uses no animal products, such as meat, dairy, or eggs. This is more restrictive than vegetarian cuisine, which allows non-meat animal products. All vegan recipes are vegetarian.
- Different people practice veganism for different reasons; some of the most common are animal rights/welfare considerations, environmental concerns, and health. See the Veganism article for more information on veganism.

Vegan Ingredient Substitutes
Vegan recipes come in two types: substituted and original.
In substitution recipes, meat, eggs, and dairy are replaced with a substitute ingredient, usually a product specifically designed to emulate either the taste of the ingredient it is replacing, or some fundamental properties such as texture or baking properties. Substitutions work differently in different recipes (Egg Replacer, a combination of starches and gums, is a substitute for eggs in baking, but will not make good scrambled eggs. Tofu, on the other hand, doesn't substitute well in baking for eggs, but makes tofu scramble.) A listing of these ingredient substitutions can be found in the vegan substitutions section of the cookbook.
Much vegan food, however, does not substitute. There is a wealth of options available in the plant world, and as veganism is becoming more common, recipes which are designed around the ways plants interact are becoming the mode, as many vegans believe they taste better.
