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 is also growing in popularity across Australia, particularly in urban areas. Dedicated vegan restaurants and cafes can be found in most major cities, offering innovative plant-based dishes. Supermarkets are also expanding their vegan ranges, with readily available vegan alternatives for milk, cheese, meat, and other products. While vegan options might be less common in smaller towns and rural areas, awareness of veganism is increasing, and many establishments are happy to accommodate vegan requests. Check menus for vegan symbols or ask staff about vegan options. Many cafes and restaurants offer vegan salads, soups, and curries. Farmers' markets are also a great place to find fresh, local produce suitable for vegan diets.
