food, asking fedi hey

i kinda wanna transition to being vegan later in life, but i don't know where to start, and it doesn't help that in kazakhstan vegetarianism and veganism is less popular than in the west. like...there are barely if any vegan grocery stores or cafes that have vegan options other than salads. and i also can't find seitan. (why??? i am closer to china than US is, what the hell??)

also im poor lol

anyway...does anyone have any advice or resources? pls help

re: vegan food @mynameistillian I think your biggest friend is going to be beans! I'll link some recipe bloggers and youtubers I like watching/reading below.

All of these also have youtube channels:
makeitdairyfree.com
rainbowplantlife.com
thecheaplazyvegan.com
www.youtube.com/prettybrownvegan
www.ricebowltales.com

All of these don't have youtube channels, but are still relevant:
plantbasedarab.com
veggieanh.com
thevietvegan.com
www.orchidsandsweettea.com

Tried to link exclusively people of color, because white people don't season their food.

Do you have access to an asian grocery store around you?

re: vegan food @domo @mynameistillian
+1 to rainbow plant life ! Her recipes are so good.

I think one of the best home cooking techniques you can learn in general is being comfortable substituting things. I don't mean substituting vegan alternatives to meat, more like using whatever vegetables you have on hand instead of worrying about having everything perfect. Saves some money when you shop on what's in season or on sale. This comes with some experience and experimenting.
