I have been a plant-based eater now for almost 4 years and I was vegetarian for 1 year before that, and there are still some dishes from my ‘former life’ that I miss the idea of! It is not so much the ingredients that I miss but more the sense of comfort and decadent indulgence they gave you when eating them!
A good burger is one of those things that I miss the idea of, and I have been meaning to try a recipe for simply ages.
