What is Vegan?

The British Vegan Society defines Veganism as: "A philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude — as far as is possible and practical — all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment. [In dietary terms the society defines Veganism as] The practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

If you are vegan or are cooking for someone who is, that means no animal ingredients at all should be in the food. No meat, (including fish and poultry) broth made from meat, gelatin, dairy, eggs or honey.
