I'm coming up on 9 years of eating completely plant-based. In celebration, I wanted to share the things I wish someone had told me back when I started. The stuff that took me years to figure out, mostly through trial and error, and a fair amount of wasted food along the way. In this video, I'm going to share 9 things I wish I knew sooner about vegan cooking.

Thanks so much for watching! What's one of the biggest things you learned cooking vegan? Let me know in the comments below!

One of the biggest things was the importance of sauces, I never realized and had no idea the difference. I use pasta salad a lot in the warmer months as a quick lunch, for example and until I started making my own dressing, it was nothing special, what a change when I added my own fresh, zesty, dressing. Literally, everything I make that has a sauce becomes infinitely better when I make my own.

I’ve learned to combine certain ingredients like black beans and rice or pea protein and hemp hearts to form complete amino acid profiles.

I'm so past this whole phase.
Like, if an ingredient has protein and it's convenient, it's worth giving a second(even third) try.. and if it doesn't (like jackfruit), I'd simply not include it in my pantry.
Ugh, and it's worth another shot if it's superbly nutritious.
