I have often heard vegetarians say that they would miss paneer if they shifted to a vegan diet. Before I went vegan I enjoyed dishes like chilli paneer, but it was more about the flavour, rather than, the paneer itself.
Recently, a few of us went away for the weekend. We hired a self-catering venue so that we could enjoy cooking and eating together. One of the dishes we made was similar to this. I thought it was yummy, but what really stuck in my mind; was one of our friends who didn't believe that it was vegan. She insisted that someone must have brought it with them or that we had made it with paneer! She had to hear it four times from two different people before she accepted it. She thought it was delicious!
With that in mind, I made it again to get the recipe right for 2 people, rather than, the 16 we made it for when we went away.

Organising a wedding reception which is fully vegan
A friend of mine was arranging his wedding reception. We were chatting about various things to do with the organisation of it on WhatsApp, when the topic of food arose.
He wanted the food to be completely vegan but some people whom he was close to, weren't sold on the idea. They were aware of the importance placed on food and they didn't want the event to remembered for the food being pants!
The people he needed to convince hadn't been to a vegan wedding before and weren't sure whether all the courses could be vegan and delicious, and they didn't want this wedding to be a trial for it!
