About Vegan Cuisine
Vegan cuisine excludes all animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, and honey. It focuses on plant-based ingredients like fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
Veganism keeps gaining ground in Australia, mostly in the cities. Most major cities have dedicated vegan restaurants and cafes, and supermarket vegan ranges have expanded to cover milk, cheese, meat and other alternatives. Choices thin out in smaller towns and rural areas, though awareness has grown enough that staff will usually try to accommodate a vegan request. Look for vegan symbols on menus or just ask. Many places do vegan salads, soups and curries, and farmers' markets are a good source of fresh local produce for vegan cooking.
