Plant-based Chef-Vegan Recipe Customization

Example

Converting a traditional beef lasagna into a vegan lasagna using lentils and cashew cheese.

Plant-based Chef provides a step-by-step guide to replace the beef with seasoned lentils, the ricotta with a blended cashew cheese, and suggests plant-based mozzarella for topping, ensuring the dish remains hearty and satisfying.

Example

Replacing eggs in baking with flaxseed or chia seed mixtures.

Example
